uWink Digital Signage Solutions seek to add a highly interactive and engaging element to the world of digital signage. No longer must the patron be simply a bystander observing your advertisement but instead an active participant that receives a time sensitive promotion catered to that specific location and person.
uWink "No Touch" Interactive Digital Signage
A highly interactive, engaging digital signage system that allows patrons to interact with the adverstiement via a "No Touch" system. The patron's physical movements are immediately translated into the advertisement creating a far more powerful customer connection than any traditional digital signage system. Once the advertisement is complete, promotional offers can be displayed to the customer based on their interaction, giving them an incentive to act on the promotion at that moment.
For an even higher level of customer engagement, uWink develops custom Ad-based "No Touch" games that inform patrons about your current promotions and tailor the reward based on game performance.
uWink Cell-Based Interactive Digital Signage
A highly interactive, engaging digital signage system that allows patrons to interact with the advertisement using their personal cell phone. Patrons simply use their cell phone's keypad to participate in casual games such as Trivia where the questions and answers are tailored to your company and its current promotions. Upon game completion, patrons receive special offers via a text message on their cell phone, giving them an incentive to act on the promotion at that moment.

I am not privy to what your TBG prior "pink-shirt kind of environment" you referred to was, unless you were a wedding singer...nor do I need or want to ever know. Nor do I get your reference to what clothes I may wear has the slightest thing at all to do with what I WAS Hoping to convey by subterfuge with the "Abstract Clue" Posts (the informative balance of which were yet to come...).
Nor is, or would have been, any attempt at any kind of humor incorporated in such Clue Posts. - Never thought it would be so darn difficult to tell something to Everyone, without ever saying it outright (for reasons that should be obvious). - Regarding the cerebral comment, it does not usually take above average intellect for the reader, to quickly realize when someone is trying to convey something worth knowing, without their saying it directly.
Clearly this viable info exchange idea I had planned to utilize, is not going to work on the board, with some here, and now I have had to literally spell-out what I was trying to do (so now I cannot do it, without personal concern). - So, I will simply resort back to the Private PM's / email again instead, just to my Netman Nine (those 9 that I trust, and whom likely also have a closet full of jeans, along with natural & synthetic fibers, like myself - lol!).
BTW: Something was clearly posted regarding the sell-off awhile back (by another) and then pointed to by someone you read..., and because it was not Absolutely spelled out to some here, plus Sanctioned, and Clearly Certified, with a notarized document from uWink, was then rebuffed and discounted by those that do not grasp When informed people are actually trying to inform other people.

Kinda thought 'intent' would be grasped more readily, as besides the Words "Abstract Clue", I also noted info below not to take such Abstract Clue posts literally...hence the word Abstract...IE: to use quoted text segments to convey ____ when combined...

The White Castle hamburger, known as a "slider", is something you eat in fours or eights. You don't order one, they're too small. The Slider is a dinner roll-sized bun with a thin beef patty that has five holes in it. The patty is steam cooked one-sided on top of a bed of onions with the bottom bun on the patty so it soaks up the meat flavor (officially spelled and trademarked as "Slyders").

Good for min-wage earners (feel for anyone 'living' on min-wage).
'Bad' for some business owners (who pay the min-wage work force).

Think...About...This... Volante POS Systems, CN Centre Announce New Sports Stadium Point of Sale Installation
Volante Systems announced today the recent addition of CN Centre to the growing list of stadia now running their enterprise point of sale software.
Located in Prince George, British Columbia, CN Centre is a sports and entertainment complex, and is home to the Western Hockey League's Prince George Cougars. CN Centre was also recently nominated as the Facility of the Year (under 8,000 seats) by the Canadian Music Association. The Volante installation consists of twenty one (21) fixed POS terminals and six (6) mobile tablet computers spread throughout the stadium's Food and Beverage operation, which includes 14 private suites, four concessions, six food kiosks, and one beverage outlet. The stadium's food contractor, Eurest, is part of the Compass Group of Companies.
As CN Centre's previous POS system slid into obsolescence, it became apparent then that a reliable and modern system was necessary to meet both CN Centre?s current and future operational needs. "The old system was quite antiquated," explains Brit McKinna, Operations Manager for Eurest Dining Services. "At the time of the initial installation, it was considered state of the art, but over time it had basically become an over glorified cash register. Also, the support was very poor." After sending out requests for proposals to several hospitality software companies, CN Centre decided upon Toronto based Volante Systems, given its reputation for reliability and advanced fault tolerant capabilities. "Volante was the preferred system for our IT people," says McKinna. "It was the most proficient, so that?s why we went with them."
In addition to size and distance issues, large venues, such as sports stadia, often face other unique challenges when setting out to invest in point of sale technology. Issues such as network infrastructure, synchronized data communication and efficiently linking the many concessionaires, and other outlets, become major obstacles that need to be overcome. Currently, there is limited choice for stadium operators when it comes to hospitality technology, since most point of sale companies, in the market today, simply can't address the many challenges presented in a stadium environment. In addition, stadium operators are no different from other businesses in that they, also, are keen to find ways to enhance their customers' experience, increase accountability, increase profitability, and improve productivity at the same time.
In addition to stand-alone terminals, CN Centre has deployed Volante's mobile computing capabilities through the use of six (6) hand-held, wireless notebook units with excellent results.
"Our staff love the hand-helds," says McKinna. "They have tons of features. They also eliminate the need for paper and notebooks." The wireless hand-helds have dramatically increased efficiency and staff productivity, McKinna adds. "When the staff are taking orders in the private boxes, for example, they can just punch in the menu items in real time, and have it go to the bar and kitchen right away. Our suites run the entire length of the arena, so now when a server is ordering from one of the suites, their beverages are ready for pick-up when they get to the bar - this really increases speed of service."
Wireless debit and credit transactions have also allowed for a much quicker, easier, and more convenient customer experience. "We really like the credit reporting and debit features - everything is in high speed, so it's better for customers when they're using their debit cards, for instance." McKinna adds. "Now we don't have to worry about dealing only in cash, making change, etc."
Volante's wireless capabilities aren't limited to typical hand-held units (PDA's) and payment transactions, however. Volante takes a unique approach to wireless, point of sale processing by using tablet PC's, which are not much bigger than a standard hand-held. The entire POS software is loaded onto the tablet, and it runs as a terminal with peer-to-peer communication, data synchronization and consolidated reporting. PDA's do not work in this manner since they require writing to the unit (i.e., new code, separate product, etc.) every time the base POS system is modified plus they're not robust enough for a wireless Food and Beverage environment.
Unlike the use of PDA's, which have no fault tolerant and off-system capability, Volante's approach is unique given that the wireless notebook/tablet computers can act as a back-up for the entire network if the main registers all fail simultaneously. This technology is without peer in the hospitality industry. Using notebooks/tablets in this way is not only ideal for an environment such as CN Centre, it's also perfect for venues such as trade shows, casinos, arenas, race tracks and outdoor sales areas, such as roof top patios and remote sporting events, where conventional POS terminals aren't practical nor feasible.
"Volante easily overcomes the many obstacles involved in a large, stadium environment." says A. Ennamorato, VP of Operations, Volante Systems. "Concessionaires can run independently with the Volante enterprise backbone and profit centre design and the stadium can seamlessly consolidate all the sales into one "corporate" back office reporting system."
Volante's peer-to-peer component allows all terminals to be connected yet function independently, ensuring that operations will continue to run smoothly in the event of a terminal or server failure. It's advanced data synchronization capability and transactional consistency is maintained on all terminals at all times resulting in maximum system availability and reliability. Volante also offers clear and concise data reporting, which is generated in real time.
"Volante is a very secure system." says McKinna. "The other neat thing about Volante is that it's ageless - it never clears itself. We can pull up reports from whenever we want, regardless of how much time has passed." Accurate data reporting can translate into real benefits for the bottom line. "Volante is a much more accurate system, and our inventory assets are better protected now." adds McKinna. "We have more detailed void reports, for instance, which we never had before."
McKinna also liked the fact that menus can be updated as the need demands. "The beauty of Volante is that you can change menus during an event - in the past we had to wait until the end of the day to make any kind of menu changes. Now we can update menus on the fly."
Other successful stadium point of sale installs for Volante include Falcon Stadium in Colorado Springs, Allentown Pennsylvania's Coca Cola Park, and Toronto's Woodbine Entertainment's racing venues to name a few. For more information, visit www.volantesystems.com.
About Volante Systems: Since 1993, Volante Systems has been providing open standards, point of sale solutions to the hospitality industry. Volante is the perfect software choice for venues requiring a flexible yet comprehensive enterprise POS solution.

http://new.uwink.com/products
(The Text Below is Copied From The Opening Page - Has Nolan Pic)
From the moment you walk into a typical restaurant, it is you, the customer, conforming to the way the restaurant wait staff operates, not the other way around.
You are led through your meal from stage to stage with as much care as possible until you are out the door with a hearty tip left on the table.
What would it mean for you to be in control of this process?
What would it mean for the restaurant to conform to you?
That is the world we are moving towards faster and faster each day and one in which uWink is leading the charge. It is one driven by technology’s powerful ability to tailor the customer experience down to the individual who is right there, right now.
That is the “u” in uWink. It is the power of you in the ordering process. You are in control of what you order and when you order it. You are in control of your restaurant experience.
uWink's range of Touch Software Solutions seek to give the Entertainment and Hospitality Industries the power to put self-service technology into the hands of their customers while producing tangible operational cost savings.
This is achieved through reduced labor and menu production costs and increased revenue through greater table service efficiency, higher order accuracy and larger per table tickets.
uWink is led by entertainment and restaurant visionary Nolan Bushnell, founder and former CEO of Atari and Chuck E. Cheese.

Sheetz is simply a gas station with kiosk ordering of "food" inside their convenience store - hardly any comparison to a uWink. BTW: Kids like to use the touchscreen ordering there, which is just another reason they will Later tell their parents that they want to go to a nearby uWink.
Yes, such touchscreen ordering is not any revelation, and has existed for years (especially in Japan). However... the entire package that is uWink, and the enhancements that will define uWink, are again not clearly grasped yet...by some...

As for the name? “We wanted a word that was short and fun and flirty,” Brent Bushnell says. “The 'u' stands for putting you in control, and the wink is a fun social gesture.”
http://www.chainleader.com/article/CA6552742.html
DN: If one accepts that uWink Hospitality Solutions + uWink Restaurants has been the PLAN from the beginning, and is not now a sudden deviation from the 'Plan', and that this (to be fully implemented concept) was always the Overall Revenue uWink Plan, one might gain a clearer comprehension of where uWink is actually headed...All too often I read (here) that the uV part of the PLAN simply comes as a 'shock' to some posters.
IMO - If that’s all the "uWink Concept” 'they' are looking at, then…'they' will never factor in their IMO, the uWink broad range of POS Applications and Transactions potential (restaurants, hotels, airports, casinos, etc).
To quote just two statements from documents I've posted before:
"Following the opening of our two new company-owned uWink restaurant locations, we expect to emphasize franchising and technology licensing over the development of additional company-owned uWink restaurants."
“The licensing of our technology into other hospitality markets is a logical expansion. We see a huge opportunity to leverage our software solution and offer it to other hospitality and public-space markets as an integral component of our growth strategy.”
As they have stated: Going further forward, their strategy is to leverage their technology assets and the uWink brand to:
Build and operate additional uWink interactive entertainment restaurants;
Franchise the uWink restaurant concept; and license their technology to other hospitality and public-space operators.
To me, uWink is a technological / restaurant play, and a restaurant / technological market play. Frankly, I would never have been interested nor invested if they were Solely Planning on restaurants (and a subsequent franchise strategy).
http://www.volantesystems.com/clients.html
IMO - uV means very high profit margins and adds increasing revenue as clients update their integration... uV is NOT any deviation from the Plan – uV was part of the uWink Marketing Strategy from almost the very beginning as they were first laying their interconnection cables in their Woodland Restaurant. Again - uWink has not now... Just become a technological play – It Always WAS ONE.
Via a table, sell some food and drinks = one deal (repeat idea)
Via software, sell solution to many = many deals (idea repeats)
Restaurant Revenue grows w/# of places and # of seats (occupied).
Software Revenue grows exponentially with each client's # of nodes.
(Plus add reoccurring updates and upgrades which add additional $$)
IMO - uV Will Provide an Ever Increasing Software Revenue Stream Expansion.
IMO - uW Restaurants Expansion will add an ever increasing # of Seats Expansion.
Any insight that you would care to contribute Dennis Nino is always appreciated.

DN: If one accepts a rationale that 'SadBull' stated prior, and one is also open to accept the improbable Timing of such a previously stated 'probable' event occurring, (albeit a planned or unplanned action by such an entity) with all due respect properly given to all other known and future uWink events in play... as this Particular PPS event being merely an isolated event (yet quite PPS destructive) regarding the PPS recent (and current) decline of approx .70, it then (for some that frequent here) may logically present itself as a merely Annoying event and Also a Grand Opportunity for those few folks that are able and aware, to clearly and rationally 'process' the 'value' of all of the uWink revenue streams potential (those known & not yet known), and 'probable' PPS future market value.
Re: Post 17031: "I believe one of the larger funds in the Fall 2007 financing closed and their position is being sold so that remaining cash can be returned to the holders of that fund."
In spite of such a 'probable' cause as SadBull stated, its likely that further additional and/or some unwarranted speculation may yet persist to be posted (as everyone is of course entitled to an IMO, no matter how unreasonable or irrational their premise may purport or prevail in any given posting purpose). As always it is up to each Board Reader to determine the proposed validity, viable merit, and purpose of any post and/or poster.
It is also likely, that this particular event (that has prompted much posting), will pass soon enough, and a recovery (be it slow or spiked) will ensue. Since my endgame horizon is years away, the 30K I've added recently is now tucked and factored in to my personal satisfaction. - Best of Luck to all Readers and/or Real Players in your own personal DD determinations, and resultant actions or inaction, as each weigh the 'value', the risk/reward factors, and their own IMO...before they click...on a broker...or a board...

"According to" Chris Fernandez "conversations with management, they expect that they can have each location cash flow positive within 12-18 months tops, and that the cash that they have on balance now (about $5 million), is enough to get them through the next 12-18 months or beyond, depending on how many licensing deals they sign for the use of their software in other restaurants and hospitality businesses."
"That’s where the true revenue and cash flow generation will take place."
"For now though, uWink will concentrate on their 3 core locations as a showcase for their technology platform, which is what they really want to focus on going forward."
“But, I believe there’s a reasonable probability that we’re going to be in 100,000 restaurants.” Even if it were only 10,000, says Bushnell, there are 22,000 McDonald’s, and he’d only need one major deal to surpass that mark."
..."uWink not just as a restaurant concept, but more so in terms of their ability to leverage their content and platform to sell to other restaurants, and the hospitality industry."
"They’ve already landed a few deals in this space, and it looks like as we go forward, the uWink concept will be known more for the actual platform than the restaurants, which is fine with me anyway, as this will be a potentially much more lucrative business with higher margins, and a broader appeal and market share opportunity."
"It all starts with the latest uWink restaurant openings in Hollywood and Highland, and Mountain View, CA"
