Ordertorium, a new app for theatregoers at Sunderland Empire, will enable audiences to order and receive drinks and snacks in their seats.
The app, which successfully runs at Ambassador Theatre Group (ATG) West End theatres and a selection of regional houses, gives patrons the option to pre-book and pay for a range of drinks and snacks either from home or from their seats in the auditorium. A member of staff will then deliver direct to the seat pre-show or during the interval.
Ordertorium, which will launch at the Sunderland venue on 27 September when Ghost the Musical opens, can be downloaded now for free by searching ATG on the Apple App Store or via Android App on Google Play.
A spokesperson for ATG said, “Investment in rolling out the Ordertorium project is part of a substantial capital improvement plan which has been budgeted for Sunderland Empire for 2016/17 as part of Ambassador Theatre Group’s ongoing commitment to invest into capital projects to enhance customer experience.
"Investment will be committed to a number of other refurbishments front of house including the Dress Circle bar and proposed new Bistro, Ambassador Boxes and the façade repairs project that includes repair of the Terpsichore statue damaged in high winds.”
