Kappture BRISK locally computed checkout-free bar deployed at Championship's Norwich City Football Club

Kappture has developed BRISK, an AI enabled, checkout-free retail unit with instant payments - purpose built for stadiums and live event environments without relying on the cloud or external data processing.

This is running right now at Norwich City Football Club, with, according to those involved, near perfect accuracy.

Using AI powered computer vision and local data processing, Brisk allows customers to enter a bar, select products, and leave without waiting in line. The system automatically tracks transactions in real-time, ensuring immediate verification and GDPR compliance.

Kappture says that its low energy consumption and ability to operate in venues with low ceiling heights make it an ideal choice for a wide range of hospitality environments.

Payment is taken as soon as a customer leaves the BRISK unit and a receipt can be obtained via a QR code.

RTIH AI in Retail Awards

RTIH, organiser of the industry leading RTIH Innovation Awards, proudly brings you the first edition of the RTIH AI in Retail Awards, which is now open for entries. 

As we witness a digital transformation revolution across all channels, AI tools are reshaping the omnichannel game, from personalising customer experiences to optimising inventory, uncovering insights into consumer behaviour, and enhancing the human element of retailers' businesses.

With 2025 set to be the year when AI and especially gen AI shake off the ‘heavily hyped’ tag and become embedded in retail business processes, our newly launched awards celebrate global technology innovation in a fast moving omnichannel world and the resulting benefits for retailers, shoppers and employees.

Our 2025 winners will be those companies who not only recognise the potential of AI, but also make it usable in everyday work - resulting in more efficiency and innovation in all areas.

Winners will be announced at an evening event at The Barbican in Central London on Wednesday, 3rd September.

This will kick off with a drinks reception in the stunning Conservatory, followed by a three course meal, and awards ceremony in the Garden Room.
