A variety of amusement devices can cater to different crowds and create multiple revenue streams.
- Music (Jukeboxes): Modern digital jukeboxes let customers control the soundtrack, creating a personalized atmosphere. This encourages guests to stay longer, increasing food and beverage sales.
- Merchandise (Crane Machines): Highly customizable crane machines and other redemption games create excitement by offering players a chance to win prizes. Matching prizes to your clientele—such as local team merchandise for a sports bar—can drive maximum appeal and engagement.
- Video Games: Traditional video games, simulators, and VR experiences appeal to a wide range of customers. These can be a strong draw for teens and adults, particularly with multiplayer options.
- Pinball and Skill Games: Classic pinball and modern skill games bring competitive, engaging entertainment to your establishment. They can lead to longer stays, return visits, and even social media buzz.
The benefits of a revenue-share model
For businesses that want to avoid a large capital investment, a revenue-share agreement is a strategic solution. In this model, an amusement provider supplies the games, handles maintenance, and then splits the profits with the business.
This offers several advantages:
- Low financial risk: The business avoids the significant upfront costs of purchasing and installing expensive equipment, as well as the burden of maintenance and repairs.
- Cost efficiency: The shared financial responsibility helps reduce overall expenses for the business.
- Higher customer engagement: An amusement partner often provides expertise in game selection and layout to maximize play and revenue. Higher engagement leads to more repeat visits and positive word-of-mouth.
- Operational simplicity: You can focus on your core business operations while the amusement partner manages the games and maintenance.
By strategically adding a mix of amusement devices, businesses can tap into new revenue streams and provide an enhanced, memorable experience that keeps customers coming back. With a revenue-share model, this can all be achieved with minimal financial risk.
