Evening youth sports field filled with families

ScoreGrub Concession Growth Grant

Shorter Lines. Fewer Worn-out Volunteers. Every Fan Fed.

ScoreGrub lets fans order concessions from their phone, from the bleachers or the far field. We’re giving 10 schools, leagues and clubs a free launch kit worth up to $500: a tablet, signage, crew shirts, and hands-on setup so you’re ready by game day.

No organization fees · Your order total goes straight to your account · Payments by Stripe and Square · No nonprofit status needed · Keep your walk-up line

Every Fan Who Walks Away Is Money Your Program Never Sees.

The line wraps past the bleachers by halftime. Families on the far field never make it over. The same three volunteers work another shift trying to keep up, and they’re wondering whether it’s worth coming back next season.

It’s not a people problem. Your volunteers are working hard. The line is the problem. It turns hungry fans away and burns out the people who give you their Friday nights.

Kids’ programs shouldn’t lose fundraising money because a line is too long.

Built for Game Day

We Know Game-Day Concessions. We Built ScoreGrub for Them.

We’ve seen it firsthand: the cash box, the handwritten menu, the parent who gives up on nachos because the kickoff is in two minutes. ScoreGrub was built for the people who make game day work, not for restaurants.

Our concession stand is an important part of how we raise money for our students, so we wanted something that would make ordering easier without adding more work for our volunteers. ScoreGrub gave us a simple way to do that. The students really took to it, families had another easy way to order, and we could support our fundraising efforts without taking on another monthly software cost. It fit into what we were already doing and made game day easier to manage.

Each kit is matched to your stand. Most include:

Order tablet

Order tablet

A dedicated device so your crew sees every mobile order as it comes in.

QR and pickup signage

Signs that show fans exactly how to order and where to pick up.

Crew shirts

Menu setup and training

Menu setup and training

We build your menu in ScoreGrub, train your team and stay with you through launch.

No cash award. The kit is equipment and hands-on support.

Reach the Fans Who Never
Make It to Your Stand

Parents on the far field. Families who don’t want to miss a play. At facilities where it fits, ScoreGrub can bring the food to them.

Two ways to run delivery:

Your crew delivers

Your crew delivers, and your stand keeps the delivery fee.

Another group earns it

A team, cheer squad or club supplies runners and earns some or all of the delivery fee. It’s a new fundraiser that doesn’t require selling another candy bar.

Delivery is optional. We’ll plan it with you based on your facility, crew and safety needs.

Your Organization Pays Nothing. Here’s How It Works.

No organization fees. Ever.

No setup fee, no monthly fee, no per-order fee and no cut of your sales. Before, during and after the program, your organization pays ScoreGrub nothing.

Fans pay a small service charge.

When a fan orders through ScoreGrub, a service charge is added on top of their order total at checkout, the same way ticketing and food-ordering apps work. The fan sees it before they pay. That service charge is how ScoreGrub is paid.

Your order total stays yours.

Payments run through Stripe and Square. At the moment of sale, the order total goes into your organization’s account and the service charge goes to ScoreGrub. Nothing is taken out of your sales, and we never hold your money.

Example

Fan orders a hot dog, chips and a drink
$8.00
ScoreGrub service charge (paid by the fan)
$0.99
Fan pays at checkout
$8.99
Your organization receives
$8.00

What else you’re agreeing to

Your commitment

Use ScoreGrub as an ordering option for one full season or 90 days, whichever is longer, and join a few short check-ins.

It stays. ScoreGrub adds to it and doesn’t replace it.

Never shared for partner marketing.

Your honest feedback

That’s all we ask. You’re never required to give a positive review.

Before You Apply

Is this a cash grant?

No. It’s a free launch kit of equipment and setup support worth up to $500. No cash is awarded.

Does our organization pay any fees?

No. There are no organization fees: no setup fee, no monthly fee, no per-order fee and no cut of your sales.

So how does ScoreGrub make money?

Fans pay a small service charge on top of their order at checkout. They see it before they pay, and it goes to ScoreGrub. Your organization receives the full order total.

Will fans be upset about the service charge?

Fans already see service charges on ticketing and food-delivery apps. It’s shown clearly at checkout, and fans who’d rather skip it can still order at the walk-up window.

Where does our money go?

Straight into your organization’s account through Stripe or Square at the time of sale. We never hold your sales.

Do we have to stop taking cash at the window?

No. Walk-up ordering stays. ScoreGrub is an extra way for fans to order.

How long do we commit for?

One full sports season or 90 days, whichever is longer.

Is delivery included?

It’s an option where your facility and crew can support it safely. We’ll plan it with you.

How are programs selected?

We look for stands with a clear challenge and a team ready to launch. We’ll select up to 10 in the first round.

What if it doesn’t work for us?

Tell us at any check-in. We’ll work through next steps together under the recipient agreement, including whether unused equipment must be returned.

ScoreGrub Concession Growth Grant

Program Rules

Please review these rules before applying for the ScoreGrub Concession Growth Grant. They summarize who may participate, what selected organizations may receive, and what participation requires.

1. Eligibility

The program is open to schools, booster clubs, youth sports organizations, leagues, clubs, community programs, tournament operators, and sports or recreation facilities with an active concession operation in Ohio, Indiana, Kentucky, Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Tennessee.

Nonprofit status is not required. Applicants must have the authority to introduce ScoreGrub at the proposed concession operation and must provide complete and accurate information. Any estimates should be clearly identified.

2. Award

Selected organizations may receive an equipment, services, and implementation-support package valued at up to $500. No cash payment will be made, and awards have no cash value.

A package may include a tablet, ordering or delivery signage, staff or volunteer shirts, menu setup, ScoreGrub configuration, training, and launch support. Award contents are based on the recipient’s approved needs. Not every recipient will receive every item, and comparable items may be substituted within the approved award limit.

3. Selection

ScoreGrub plans to select up to 10 organizations in the first round but may select fewer based on eligibility, application quality, available funding, program capacity, or implementation readiness.

Eligible applications may be reviewed by the ScoreGrub Grant Committee. The committee may consider the applicant’s operating challenge, its impact, the proposed goal, fit with the grant and ScoreGrub, application quality, and readiness to launch. Submitting an application does not guarantee an award.

4. Recipient Commitments

Before receiving an award, selected organizations must confirm their eligibility and implementation plan and sign a recipient agreement.

Recipients must complete onboarding and menu setup, participate in training, display provided signage, and make ScoreGrub reasonably available during normal concession operations. Traditional walk-up ordering may remain available; recipients are not required to move every transaction to mobile ordering.

Recipients must use ScoreGrub for one complete sports season or at least 90 days, whichever is longer, and participate in agreed check-ins and reasonable post-program measurement or feedback.

5. Delivery

Delivery is optional and is not guaranteed for every recipient. Where available, delivery requires an approved operating plan and depends on product availability, facility layout, defined delivery areas, staffing or runners, supervision, and safety.

6. Fees, Equipment, and Taxes

Organizations do not pay ScoreGrub a setup fee, monthly fee, per-order fee, or percentage of concession sales before, during, or after the program.

A service charge is added to the fan’s order at checkout and is shown before payment. The order total goes directly into the organization’s Stripe or Square account, while the service charge goes to ScoreGrub. ScoreGrub does not deduct its service charge from the organization’s sales or hold the organization’s money.

Awarded equipment must be used primarily for the approved ScoreGrub implementation and may not be sold, transferred, or intentionally misused. The recipient agreement will define replacement, damage, return, and early-withdrawal terms. ScoreGrub may require unused equipment to be returned.

Recipients are responsible for determining any tax consequences associated with the award. ScoreGrub does not guarantee that an award will be tax-free.

7. Information, Privacy, and Publicity

Program reporting may include aggregated operational results. Fan personal information will not be shared for partner marketing. An organization’s business contact information will be shared with participating vendors only when the organization separately opts in.

Recipients are not required to provide positive feedback or a positive testimonial. Named stories, photographs, quotes, testimonials, and case studies require appropriate permission.

8. Results

Results vary based on attendance, customer behavior, menu, pricing, staffing, facility layout, promotion, implementation, and other factors outside ScoreGrub’s control. The program does not guarantee increased revenue, shorter lines, mobile-order adoption, or increased fundraising.

If selected, the organization’s final award contents, responsibilities, fees, and equipment terms will be included in the recipient agreement for review before acceptance.
