Leading provider of hospitality technology, Kappture, has chosen Galway city as the location for the expansion of its Software Development Hub, with the creation of at least 20 new roles. Currently operating out of The Portershed, the team will focus on the development of its cutting-edge AI platform, BRISK, as well as innovating on its core EPOS solutions.
Kappture works with some of the world’s most iconic live event brands, including Croke Park, Thomond Park, six English Premier League clubs, Ascot, Cheltenham, Aintree, Punchestown, Celtic FC, Olympique Lyonnais, ASM Global and many more.
Developed in Galway, BRISK is a world-leading AI computer vision action tracking platform. Its first application will be for food and beverage retail at sports and live event venues. Using edge computing, BRISK is the first and only solution of its kind to offer instant payments with a human-free checkout experience. BRISK will remove the all too familiar experience of long queues for food and beverages at your favourite sports matches, concerts, and other live events.
The first deployment is now live with Norwich FC with many more planned across Ireland, the UK and globally.
Kappture is currently recruiting in the areas of computer vision software engineering, software development, as well as other commercial and operational roles, as it builds out its team. To explore opportunities to join the team, visit: Kappture - careers.

BRISK is the world’s only solution that can take payments for food and beverages instantly with no human interaction. BRISK has global applications to remove the pain points of queues at live events, to make it a better experience for fans and more efficient for venue operators. Our ambition is to bring highly skilled talent to Galway and to increase its standing as a hub for AI, innovation and creativity.”
