Trends: Dave & Busters Adopts Restaurant Text Pagers



High Tech Dave & Busters Goes with Mobile Matradee a Best of Breed Restaurant Text Pager System.

Over the course of the last 12 months my family and I have visited New York City, Palisades, New Jersey and Providence, Rhode Island. What do all these locations have in common a Dave & Busters location. What intrigued me was their adopting of a queue management system, Mobile Matradee, a restaurant text pager system. This may sound silly but when you are waiting in line to eat with a six year old who sees a huge video arcade full of games its a relief to know you can go and play while you wait to be seated without worrying about losing your place in line.

Visiting the technology blog Social Mobile Trends I learned that Chili's, Rafferty's Restaurant, Top Golf and the Max Restaurant Group to name a few all have adopted this technology. Furthermore the restaurant text pager is less expensive than a buzzer pager system, has greater range for guests to roam and provides the host staff and management a digital wait list, reports and even a mobile marketing capability with Mobile VIP, text marketing application. For more information see the Restaurant Text Pagers a Cost Benefit Analysis.

The food was excellent as well as the service at all three locations. Dave & Busters is a great experience for the whole family and I highly recommend it.

Dave & Busters is an American restaurant and entertainment business headquartered in Dallas, Texas.[1] Each D&B has a full-service restaurant and a video arcade. As of July 1, 2009, the company had 57 locations across the United States and two in Canada.

  1. I love ordering via restaurant pagers. It's very convenient and fun. Hmmm... it would be great if a lot of restaurants have this feature, so the waiting time can be more enjoyable.

  2. The part about waiting in line with a 6-year-old that spots an arcade emphasizes just how convenient these restaurant pager systems are and can be. The system eliminates the customers’ need to wait in line and the waiters’ need to physically look for them, if they aren’t in line. Another great thing about these new pager systems is that they’ll work great in establishments other than restaurants. Hospitals are starting to use them in the nurse stations, and even libraries are employing the noiseless, vibrating variation of paging systems to alert patrons who are waiting for study rooms.
