A Competitive, Social Experience
Rod Ticknor has used Buzztime to entertain guests since he opened his first Native New Yorker location in Phoenix, Ariz., in 1997.
Over the years, Rod has watched his Buzztime community grow, especially around poker. His card sharks visit an average of two to three times a week, and stay for anywhere from two to five hours at a time. Rod sweetens the pot with prizes for high scorers each night and for any player who gets Native New Yorker’s name on the national leaderboards.
Rod and his team recognize that guests who play Buzztime are more engaged and stay longer, adding up to better sales (and tips!) all around. Servers have created a rapport with regular players, and managers use Buzztime’s digital TV ads to promote events and specials.
