StarStock supports the UK on-trade by providing e-commerce solutions that enable licensed venues to digitise their relationship with their suppliers. We have been able to support them on the early stages of their journey including through valuable market insights, a commercial partnership with our GB team or access to the expertise of our own e-commerce teams.
TabSquare provides AI-driven ordering platforms for restaurants that help to drive higher order sizes and faster order turnover. There has been 288% growth in merchants live on the platform over the last 12 months with 30% faster table turnaround for venues. We’re now supporting them to grow into new markets.
Innovative Tap Solutions is a self-pour, self-pay technology that offers consumers a convenient packaging-free delivery method for their drinks. ITS is already established in the U.S but we took a 25% stake in 2020 and we’re helping them expand into Europe – starting with a pilot in Spain with some of our key hospitality customers.
CuRe is developing ‘polyester rejuvenation’ technology that provides a new lease of life for hard-to-recycle plastic polyester waste. For early-stage technology like this, we’re supporting with capital funding to build the infrastructure needed to develop the new technology. We’ve helped in the set-up of a repolymerisation line at a pilot plant in the Netherlands and, long-term, we want to grow a stock of recyclable plastic that we can put into the market and reduce reliance on single use plastic.
Following the acquisition of Coca-Cola Amatil in May, our project portfolio has expanded even further, now totaling 16 partners across the globe. We have some really exciting projects – visit our webpage for more information on all of our partners.
Whether it’s in sustainability, the way we support our customers, or the way we get our drinks to the market – we’re always looking to find that next big leap forward.
From pilots, helping companies achieve the next level of growth, or scaling through our global network and the wider Coca-Cola System – we want to help.
