Tips To Maximize Your Revenue:

• Privacy and discretion are key for maximum play.
• Private rooms, segregated rooms, and half walls are optimal to create privacy for your video gamers.
• Provide your gamers free non-alcoholic beverages and food specials.
• Adjust hours of operation to capture early gamers in the morning.
• Open Sundays when possible.
• Keep restrooms clean and, if possible, plan to create YOUR gaming area close by.
• Modify lighting in your video gaming area to be well lit, but not necessarily bright.
• Employ engaged and friendly staff to accommodate your video players.
• Display marketing materials outside your building to promote your video gaming: windows, doors or other visible places work great.
• Promote video gaming through promotional materials inside your location, including table top signs, posters and signage.
• Use social media platforms to promote free soft drinks, free coffee, or free snacks exclusively for video gamers.
