"Partnering with NTN Buzztime successfully integrates
entertainment into our dining experience through the use of sports
and trivia games."
"The agreement with Buffalo Wild Wings allows us to bring
additional entertainment and marketing value to their Guests and
business partners," said NTN Buzztime CEO, Michael J. Bush. "Buzztime delivers unique
entertainment designed to retain customers and drive new traffic to
restaurants – which is critically important in this tough economic
environment. In fact, research has shown that Buzztime
players spend more money and stay longer than the average
customer."
"Buzztime creates a social community within the restaurant. It's
fun to see how a tough trivia question can get friends, family, and
even strangers talking," added Brandon

more competitive environment during our slow periods."
