Buzztime - Business Bar Trivia by Buzztime

– Rollout begins with new services available to national restaurant chains –

CARLSBAD, Calif., January 17, 2018 — 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.”
