CARLSBAD, Calif., Jan. 17, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- NTN Buzztime,
Inc. (NYSE American: NTN), has begun the roll-out of its digital
menu and secure pay at the table solution at Buffalo Wild Wings
with the first sites in California
and Minnesota.
Buzztime's next generation touchscreen Android tablets
incorporate Europay, MasterCard® and Visa® (EMV) chip card readers
and near-field communication (NFC) technology to accept Apple,
Android, and Samsung Pay payment. These capabilities are designed
to provide guests with increased security and convenience in
conjunction with best-in-class games and multi-player national
network trivia. The enhanced guest experience offers patrons easy
access to add-on orders for drinks or dessert, which benefits
venues by improving operating efficiencies and increasing sales
potential. Further, the tablets gather data, enabling venues
to generate real-time insights and analytics that can be used to
optimize operations. The pay at the table functionality
allows guests to leave when they're ready and for venues to turn
tables faster.
"Going live with order and pay with Buffalo Wild Wings is a
significant milestone," said NTN Buzztime CEO Ram Krishnan. "Our
long-term relationship with Buffalo Wild Wings reflects our ability
to deliver the latest technology with quality service that enhances
the guest experience and increases operational efficiency. Further,
our adaptable solution can easily be configured for other
verticals, often with minimal adjustments. We believe our platform
is a formidable asset with significant growth potential, and we are
excited about 2018. We look forward to continuing our work
with Buffalo Wild Wings to expand our partnership to pay at the
table."
