Software Assets
Hospitality ordering: The company offers a customer-facing, touch-based user interface that allows guests to self-order all of their food and drink via touch screen terminals at each table. It has integrated its ordering system with a commercial point-of-sale system, providing transaction billing, processing, and accounting.
Self check in/checkout: The company's software allows restaurant customers to self-check in at the table using a credit card or pre-paid debit card and to self-pay and checkout by swiping a card at the table.
uWink Game Library: The company features a library of approximately 70 single and multi-player short-form, casual and ‘social’ video games, including Trivia Live, Truth or Dare, uWink Scene Investigation (its riff on the popular CSI television series), Xingo (a mashup of bowling and bingo) and Picture Perfect, a ‘find the differences’ game.
Multi-player game platform: This platform allows patrons throughout the restaurant to play digital games against one another in real time, including real-time scoring, either head-to-head individually or in teams. The game scoring and results are projected on the walls of the restaurant in real time.
Micro-transaction game play monetization software: This software allows for game ‘credit’ purchasing, tracking and redemption, facilitating game/media purchases.
Media display system: The company's system features large wall projections which exhibit revolving dynamic imagery that allows the restaurant to change its ‘look and feel’ at a moment’s notice. The projection system is also used for restaurant-wide group gaming and for the display of customized ‘special event’ digital media, including for corporate presentations and meetings, as well as birthday parties.
