Drive Business Recovery by Going Cashless

The coronavirus pandemic is fast-tracking the trend toward a cashless economy as the fear of handling paper money contaminated with COVID-19 has led to a decline in the use of physical cash. Studies have shown that coronavirus can remain infectious for weeks on coins and paper money, making it clear that cashless payments are necessary rather than a nice to have - doing nothing is no longer an option. 

Customers now expect the availability of cashless and contactless payment options in your venue, allowing them to skip the lines and minimize contact with people and high-touch surfaces. They will have a newfound appreciation for social connection (from a safe distance) and will not want to touch cash, coins, papers, anything that can transmit viruses. This acts as a forcing function for our industry to become contactless overnight.

Integrating a cashless payment solution opens your business up to a world of opportunity. Not only does it eliminate the risks associated with circulating coins and tokens, having a cashless business solution enables businesses to increase operational efficiencies and profitability. By equipping your family entertainment center with a cashless business solution, you're incorporating technologies that deliver a safe, seamless, low-touch payment and FEC experience.  

It's simple. Embracing a contactless business solution for your family entertainment center has the power to revitalize your business in a post-pandemic environment. And here's the big surprise awaiting you: the business solution acts as manpower, so you require less manpower, you achieve greater operational efficiency while driving more revenue and profit.

Embed has the solutions to help you create a better, stronger business operation for the consumer who awaits while protecting your FEC from the coronavirus. 

1. Our point-of-sale and self-service KIOSK offer much more than comparable cash replacement systems. By combining the best of what you're selling into attractive offers and upsell opportunities, you increase guest spending and drive return visits, which future-proofs your business.
2. BOOKINGS is a modern online reservation solution for your entertainment venue. Guests can book parties and attractions on their own mobile and computing devices anytime, anywhere, streamlining the customer experience. Plus, it's zero risks for you because they pay for their booking when they make it.
3. We're living in the post-queue world (no one wants to stand in line and wait), where instant gratification and speed of service matters. The immediacy of reloading the Mobile Wallet, a virtual game card, anytime, anywhere, equals greater convenience for the guest and greater revenue for you, the operator, plus less manpower, less hardware costs, which all leads to greater profitability!
4. Game cards and wearable media create convenience for guests and help avoid the spread of germs caused by the exchange of coins, tokens, and paper tickets. Card readers, particularly those that accept contactless payments, significantly reduce human contact during a transaction. Best of all, your guest doesn't need to leave the game to check their card's balance. Embed's smartTOUCH readers have the balance check feature built-in to ensure the guest experience is not interrupted, and they're able to continue gameplay (which is ongoing revenue for you).

In the post-pandemic climate, going cashless offers benefits for businesses and customers alike - from reducing the transmission of infectious diseases to enabling a speedier and more efficient payment experience. Managing your family entertainment center without cashless technology is mission impossible, and your business faces an uncertain future.

Contactless payment technology such as Embed's Kiosk and smartTOUCH readers ensure eliminated risk from unhygienic coins, paper tickets, and cash payments. Giving your guests the ability to game using a virtual game card on their mobile (enter Embed's Mobile Wallet), which means zero contact (no app download), dramatically reduces the risk of any ole virus transmission. And best of all, the system pays for itself.
