Embed Card System

The Embed Card System is a total operating solution for Family Entertainment Centers (FEC). Replacing tokens and currency, the Embed Card System allows for cashless operation of vending, redemption and video games by using a swipe card to deduct value for each game played. This system also provides admission control for any FEC attractions (e.g., Mini Golf, Go Karts, Laser Tag, etc.) by providing the guest a card to swipe on a reader (see Color-Glo swiper information below). If the FEC plans to have retail, food or beverage sales, the Embed Card System can be used as a stand-alone Point of Sale system, or integrated to work with other Point of Sale systems such as Micros and Aloha. Fully customizable and touch-screen driven, the Embed Point of Sale system allows for sales of play cards, admissions, food and beverage, package sales, retail merchandise, and party/group reservations. A valuable benefit of the system is the ability to create detailed reports which allow for in-depth and comprehensive marketing planning, as well as monitoring staff usage and activity.

With a card system, the FEC guests are encouraged to “Load and Go”; load a value onto a magnetic stripe card and go to any game or attraction and swipe to play. When a guest swipes their card, their value balance is checked, then a play on a game or admission to an attraction is issued. Games issue redemption tickets straight to the card instead of using paper tickets, eliminating the use of ticket counter machines. The guest is encouraged to keep the card for future use; all cash and ticket values are stored in the system and accessed via the swipe card. Cards that are lost can be reissued with the same credit as when it was reported lost.

Debit card systems, such as the Embed Card System, allow operators to offer differential pricing for regular customers, timed-play sessions, and VIP programs that promote repeat visits
