Leave the Gambling to Your Guests
The gross gambling revenue in 2010 was $34.60 billion according to the American Gaming Association. Gross gambling revenue is calculated as the amount wagered minus the winnings paid back to players, thereby making this a true representation of the economic impact of gaming. Casinos play a huge role in the economic viability of select cities and states by way of taxes paid, jobs created and tourism attracted. With casinos come other business avenues such as hotels and restaurants. People may come to gamble, but they have to eat and sleep somewhere. In a market ripe with competition, restaurants need to stand out in order to attract the attention of casino guests in an environment that is already extremely over-stimulated. JTECH’s GuestPass™ pagers as part of the GuestAlert® communication system will do just that – set your restaurant establishment apart from the rest.
One must remember that the real reason for being at a casino is to gamble, so providing these guests the freedom to do so while waiting for a table makes business sense. Your guests can put their name in with the hostess and return to their game of choice until their table is ready. GuestPass pagers are discreet, making them ideal for use at table games where people might be more focused on the hand or the bets being made. In addition, GuestPass pagers are equipped with an out-of-range feature, which helps reduce walk-aways and lost equipment. Giving your waiting guests the opportunity to gamble in the interim period before their table is ready will give the illusion that they waited no time at all. Their mind will be on the game, not on the fact that they’re waiting. As a result, when they show up at your restaurant when their table is ready, they will be hungry but not disgruntled, unless of course they just lost a bad bet. But, seeing that you cannot control their betting habits, focus on what you can control – seating your guests quickly while making the wait enjoyable with GuestPass pagers.
