Ardent’s New Patent Pending Technology allows venues to effectively control escalating complimentary beverage costs at gaming enabled bars and most recently on the casino floor. Casinos utilizing our technology are now able to instantly quantify the patrons play. Up until now, this has been left to an employee’s perception. This simple, but effective, complimentary validation system also frees your employees to deliver a more efficient and higher level of customer service.
We have seen on the Strip and Downtown an average increase of 9%+ in Beverage Sales, and 10%+ Decrease in Comp Costs as compared to prior year’s numbers [same months] without our Complimentary Validation. (Close to 20% overall revenue impact as your monthly liquor and beverage bills will be reduced in addition to your drink sales going up).
How would converting an unearned comp to a cash sale effect you bottom line?
