BUILD A LOYAL CUSTOMER BASE "We here at the Squire and Firkin really enjoy Buzztime. It has been very good for our business over the last 13 years. Our customer base is approximately 80% regulars and they really enjoy challenging each other." - Anita Andrews, Owner, Squire and Firkin, Etobicoke, ON "We've had the 2-channel Buzztime system in place now for over a year and the addition has definitely been a big draw for several areas of our business. We've got more regular customers coming in during the daytime to play at lunch, we have more evening folks in for Trivia and Texas Hold'Em, and we've also doubled our Tuesday night business with a weekly "Brainiac of the Week" challenge that we do weekly in partnership with one of the local radio personalities. I was hesitant at first about putting in the system after just starting our business but now I know I would not do without it! Thanks Buzztime for your continued support and help with making my business successful!" - Bob Elwonger, Lost Beach Island Oasis Bar & Grill, Ft. Smith, AR "Buzztime always keeps people in for one more drink and keeps them coming back for more. We especially take advantage of the late nights. We have guys against girls for trivia-they love it!" - Robert Kmetz, General Manager, TGI Friday's, Lombard, IL "Buzztime has really been a great addition to Tejas Texas Grill & Saloon and has helped us build more of a regular crowd. Our bar staff is encouraged to log on new guests and we give a free drink to each new players plus member. We have seen our average guest check rise about 20%. It has also helped us promote happy hour and nightly specials. " - Jamie Wilson, Tejas Texas Grill & Saloon, Duluth, MN "The best thing about Buzztime is that it helps you build a loyal customer fan base. I can attest to the fact that we have several guests that are here almost everyday, and Buzztime helped make that happen." - Tom Renfro, Buffalo Wild Wings INCREASE REVENUE "About 3 years ago a location down the street from us got rid of their Buzztime system; luckily for us we had the pleasure of getting all of the customers. Buzztime has definitely increased our business by bringing in new customers and by keeping our regular customers here longer." - Piero Occhigrosso, Owner, Archibald's Pub, Richmond Hills, Ontario CA "We're a small "locals" bar near a couple of the large "corporate" restaurants that commonly have Buzztime, so I was skeptical about the return on investment when I began investigating the service. First, I was amazed at the business approach. I've never had a service that was so genuinely designed to improve my bottom line. Second - I found that not only did we add new patrons as the trivia games were discovered, but our current customer base became more loyal to our venue. Thus far, the "experiment" has been a grand success. Watch for us in the Top 10 in the nation list!" - Thomas Newman, President, The Back Room, Louisville, CO "Buzztime is a tremendous tool for bars that want to keep their customers entertained. I am glad my staff understands this and they have used it well to maintain better income for themselves and the bar. I myself have an account and often hang with the patrons and play along. Buzztime is worth every penny and using the onscreen advertising is a must! It helps us promote many of our themed nights and is free!! Buzztime Rocks!" - Nigel Mayer, Owner, Flicks, San Diego, CA "My favorite thing about Buzztime is how it keeps people here for an extra drink." - Leo Lesh, Owner, Leo's All Star Sports Bar, La Crescenta, CA ATTRACT GUESTS "Buzztime is clearly one of the keys to our success. It has been in our store since we opened. While we rely on many streams of revenue for our business, we feel as though there can never be too many. Buzztime gets played by our patrons about 1000 hours per month. THAT'S 33 HOURS PLAYED EVERY DAY! Those hours played bring in better revenue than the pool table we had (And added six tables in the process!) And any attraction that brings people through our doors day after day is a keeper!" - Richard Tess, Manager, Boston's Gourmet Pizza, Rancho Cucamonga, CA "Installing Buzztime Trivia and Texas Hold'Em was one of the best decisions we at Hazelwoods have ever made! People come from all over the area each and every day to plug in and play. The new traffic generated and the ability to advertise our specials during the games has increased our sales and profitability substantially!" - James Swann, General Manager, Hazelwood's 1st Place Sports Grill, Phoenix, AZ "Buzztime has and is a part of our promotion and entertainment. It is a big customer attraction which keeps the players coming back for more." - Ed Lavallee, General Manager, Cerbat Lanes, Kingman, AZ "Our pub opened in May of 2006. We experienced moderate business and knew we needed something…Buzztime fit the bill perfectly. We originally thought it would be nice to offer our customers an alternative to television. It has become a focal point and rivalries are fierce within our business and with other local Buzztime carriers. It has not only brought business in, but keeps business here. Someone coming in just for lunch will often times stay on through dinner when there is bragging rights to be won! We especially enjoy the out of town business we receive from the Buzztime website. The Buzztime service techs and reps are all extremely helpful and very patient given my techno inadequacies. In my opinion, Buzztime is affordable "profit and fun" all wrapped into one easy to use package." - Becky Pascua, Manager, Bert's Pub, Yakima, WA ADVERTISE & MARKET "Buzztime has been a great partner for both our corporate and franchise locations and a great addition to our marketing efforts. Utilizing the on screen advertising has helped draw attention to our LTO's and other national promotions." - Dave O'Connor, Marketing Manager, Old Chicago Franchise Corporation, Louisville, CO "The ad wizard is more user friendly than creating ads through the Playmaker. The ad wizard has the capability to create ads from one central point which can be linked to our 22 Buffalo Wild Wings locations, which are located in 3 different states. Using ad wizard saves me time, is more user friendly, and allows me to be able to monitor all the ads that are running in each location without physically being there." - Cheryl Macedo, Buffalo Wild Wings, Minneapolis, MN "Buzztime has helped bring in quite a few guests for our weekly poker tournament. We have utilized the Buzztime website to produce great looking advertisements for not only our restaurant but also for our guests. Allowing them to advertise their businesses on our big screen TV's, bringing in enough money per month to pay for the system and then some." - Trevor Keefe, Manager, TGI Friday's, Anchorage, AK HAVE FUN! "We are new to Buzztime and Paddy's Pub is the first in Pahrump, NV (a town of 45,000 people) to carry it. We have dancing, gaming, pool, darts and big screen TV's but it is amazing how the Buzztime games have our customers excited as nothing before. When interviewed for the local TV station, the interviewer said he loves Buzztime and wanted to be one of the first to try ours." - Pat Rodgers, Owner, Paddy's Pub, Pahrump, NV "Our customers enjoy trivia so much they spend hours and hours and hours at our location and play Texas Hold'Em seven nights a week because they love the competition!" - Liz Kates, General Manager, Native New Yorker, Chandler, AZ "High scores isn't all Buzztime is about; it's about the comradeliness between players here at Boomers." - Ken Greco, Manager, B. Boomers Bar & Grill, Allen Park, MI "Buzztime adds to our overall guest experience. It creates greater options and diversity for guest participation." - Peter Hegele, VP of Franchise Relations, Buffalo Wild Wings |
