The williams tower food court was recently given a massive overhaul, and now includes several local restaurants. It also includes an Amazon "Just Walk Out" powered QT that utilizes facial recognition to process transactions. I don't think it will get too much traction from folks outside the tower, but nonetheless it is a pretty neat thing to see.

I work in the tower. I think there will be a lot of people from outside the tower utilizing the QT. Been packed so far, certainly some excitement that will die down but I bet it's always a busy store.

This is very cool. I wish OKC had it.
That's awesome.
QT seems to be a forward-thinking company.

I didn't realize there was still a food court in the Williams complex. Is this in the main tower or where it used to be in the Williams complex (where the ice skating rink used to be)?

I'm no Tulsan, but I think that was a different structure? This is straight up the basement of the main tower. I think the rink was next door. Not sure though.

Could you get the hours for the place and post them? I'm curious what they are.

this is actually not in the basement of the main building but on the 2nd floor of the lobby in the main tower. It’s not part of the old Williams Forum that had the ice rink.

Here's a little diagram of the new food court. It's not in the tower proper, but next door on the 2nd floor lobby. They recently redid the entire lobby and added an outdoor terrace level. Put in millions and it looks really modern and nice.
