Those claims are false, which is why there is ZERO supporting DD...

Snakes ships millions of dollars in product per year, to the biggest and smallest retailers. There are no problems with the supply chain. There are MANY reviews online from every type of customer, including retailers/publishers/Kickstarter backers/consumers and Snakes is considered the best in the biz.

Snakes has never missed a black Friday. Morning did... Snakes acquired a BK company with issues and cleaned them up

Snakes/FUNN is the ONLY reason why these games are hitting retailers right now. Snakes saved Morning

Example of how great Snakes is...

My game is arriving today in Montreal from Snakes and Lattes. Btw, just wanted to mention that these guys are really professional and the best at fulfilment. Just the fact that they send a pre-notice with an address confirmation and a complete list of what is going to be sent to you with the possibility of contacting them before shipping to correct any mistskes is so awesome. I do a lot of KS and other fulfilment companies should seriously look at how these guys do things.

Most of the big players in the sector know all about Snakes. They call us the "mothership" for a reason... Even Hasbro had a gaming night at Snakes, marketing their Avalon titles...

I Want Your Job: Steve Tassie, Game Guru

https://torontoist.com/2013/11/i-want-your-job-steve-tassie-game-guru/

We get some people who come here because it’s a hip place to come, rather than because they’re actually interested in board games, and with people like that, our best weapon is the breadstick games. They’re simple, but they can get the most cantankerous or inattentive person involved with what’s happening at the table. Life is too short for games you don’t like.
++++++

Tassie, who has also worked as a game designer, has found that the job has a surprisingly romantic aspect: “We’re a super-hot first date place in the city, and we get a number of people who come back to us six months or a year later asking if they can propose to their girlfriends here.”

Frederik Gauthier's affinity for puzzles is well-established.

The Goat — as even Leafs coach Mike Babcock often refers to him — also loves to play board games. He's a regular at Snakes & Lattes, the Toronto hotspot for board game aficionados where it's possible to sip a coffee, down a beer or munch on a sandwich while playing Jenga or the game of Life. Gauthier's favourite board game isn't quite so mainstream. It's called Gangster and the objective, not surprisingly based on the title, is to compete with other gangsters for control of Chicago.

Snakes & Lattes segments: There are so many aspects to the Snakes sub, it blows my mind to think of all the different ways they could rapidly add to the bottom line... along with synergies between these segments...

Cafe/bar/restaurant: They can satisfy the morning to night crowds. Something for everyone... and they're able to charge a, $8 cover and still pack every table in these large locations.
Game retailer: Snakes sells games in each location + online. This revenue source has a higher margin than any other game retailer, because Snakes buys their inventory below wholesale (master distributor)
Event planning: For parties, corporate events, etc supplying food, games and Gaming Gurus... Location #3 (Midtown has a catering size kitchen which will allow them to expand this rapidly growing segment of the biz.
Marketing: Snakes can charge publishers to launch their game in style. Snakes can provide Gurus that push and teach these games. Along with marketing decor, themed cocktails/pastries/etc, drawings, sales displays, online videos, etc.
Publishing: Several games are about to launch under this new division and since they cut out the middleman, it will likely be the highest margin aspect of the biz + the fastest growing.
Fulfillment: Snakes is a fulfillment partner for smaller game designers. They ship individual Kickstarter orders out to Canadian Backers... FYI, gaming is the #1 most funded section on the Kickstarter site, ahead of Tech at #2. As Snakes locations expand into the USA, i expect their Fulfillment contracts to expand there as well
Master Distribution: Snakes is a master distributor for exclusive and non exclusive game titles. Along with several new products added through the Natural Stuff Inc acquisition. They sell to Walmart, Chapters, Amazon + anywhere that carries the hottest games.
Franchising: Big potential for this segment. Many people want their own location. Snakes would do well in any big city.

What am i missing?

Publishing: A single self publishing deal could double annual revs by itself, with very strong margins... IMO Snakes has extremely high odds of hitting a winner on their first deal. They have game designers on their staff that study EVERY game on the market and make video/podcasts about them online... Plus, they know which types of games sell via the observations from thousands of customers that come to Snakes.

In their videos/podcasts they critique everything from the gameplay/dynamics to the artwork... They KNOW their stuff and are in the perfect situation to select great titles.

A single red hot game can match the revs of a dozen Snakes locations... and it will be the highest margin deal Snakes will make, since they cut out the middleman and have exclusivity from day 1, worldwide

This is one of the least discussed topics, but possibly the biggest thing they have going... They could drop several hot titles on the market and make 9 figures having exclusivity worldwide.

Snakes in the perfect position to push a game and get it KNOWN...

4 friends walk into Snakes. The Game Guru talks them into trying the new self published title. Guru quickly teaches game to table, which gets them playing faster, with little hassle... 1 of 4 players sees the title at a promotional price while leaving and since they just learned it and had a great time playing, she decides to take one home. Just so she can beat her boyfriend one more time!

3 weeks later a different group of friends are at her house and she pulls out the game... 4 new people quickly learn how to play from her mimicking the Game Guru... 1 of these players sees game at Walmart, remembers how much fun he had and decide to buy a copy...

... he takes game home, plays with kids... Kid pulls out game when friends are over...

THIS "viral" sales flow is why table gaming is growing so fast imo. The masses are HUNGRY for human interaction, away from digital devices...

... and what better place to spread the virus, than a Game Cafe? The Game Gurus are practically injecting it into them!
________________
The odds of Snakes hitting a big game are strong... Any company can create a game, but most fail because they only have one option (their own game). Snakes is in position to CHOOSE games because people want to get in bed with a solid distributor and marketing vehicle like Snakes. A deal with Snakes helps ensure the game will get noticed and sold. Its big risk investing time and money into something that never gets discovered

The Gurus can PUSH games onto customers... "hey try this new game. Its easy to learn, ill teach it to you." Boom, groups of people being taught, every day...

... then these customers see the game in a nice marketing display + a discount, on the way out the door... and because they just learned it and had a great time playing, one or more of them pick up a copy and take it home, playing with family/friends (free marketing).

They are in the PERFECT situation to choose a solid title and sell it to the masses, in every aspect

This will lead to sector domination imo
