Information on Tapcode. They appear to be a Going Concern. I am not sure what the share structure is, or if they are privately held.
Looks like Nolan's sons are running some not-for-profit tech company:

and here is the link for Tapcode:
http://www.tapcode.net/
It appears as if this company is marketing Nolan's software.
I see 2 problems with the basic concept that were always there; they are two distinct products (games vs food service), and this is a bad mix with the restaurant business.
The second point is kind of obvious. Greasy burgers and a computer screen just do not mix. It is unsanitary.
The second point is... I think that in a fast-food context, this product has a chance. I can think of 2 restaurants in my area that rely on a similar concept. In one of them, the customer goes up to the front counter and orders, then takes a sign with a number to his seat. The food is brought to him. In the second case, the customer goes to the front desk orders, and then takes a vibrator back to his seat. When it vibrates, he goes up and gets his food.
In either case, the table service is avoided, the food arrives quicker, and all for giving up a bit of service.
So the target market is fast food. Why then... would that same customer want to sit there playing games???
Just a thought.
Do you know who is currently on the Uwink BOD?
I don't get it. I thought they weren't even trading anymore. Wasn't uwink dissolved into Tapcode? Which doesn't trade? Confused.
UWKI: Suspended by SEC

Ugh....another Nolan Bushnell failure
Doubt it. Seems pretty dead.
Is there any hope that this one will come back to life?
Haven't seen any updates anywhere in awhile.
What is up with this one? Looks like if anyone buys the price goes up quickly. Must be the low float?

he is a secret agent now... (.007)... LOL.
Hey Raw & Big....
How u guys been? So is Uwink Hollywd, the only one left? I'm thinking of visiting it again this week. What is Nolan up to these days? ....and dont say no good! ( .007 ) lol ; ]
Hard to believe I actually made some $ on this one. I recall Bushnell had formed something like 20 companies, so it was a lock that he would go on to focus on something else and leave the company to the currents of the market place.
so what is left, just the one restaurant in Hollywood Hills?
uWink Woodland Hills..... R.I.P.
http://www.yelp.com/biz/uwink-woodland-hills
not at all and I appreciate the response. I figured they were wallpaper.
I sold a long time ago at 1.50 (pre-R/S). Took my profit, sat back and watched. Actually I found thi sstock really interesting, as it captured alot of people' simaginations and hopes. Most other stocks were just a matter of analysis and were boring by comparison.
I lost a bit on restaurant 2, but still have most of my original winnings...
so why are you still here,big guy? just a life time passion? sell and move on
Too funny. Sad but true.
Tapcode is the shell compay that was created by and for the senior management as an escape plan from uWink after they successfully milked all of the investor's money out of it in the form of high salaries and the establishment of 3 (now 2 I think) restaurants that are of questionable value and food service quality that may someday serve as a testing ground for an as-of-yet unfinanced and unestablished software company based loosely on the software products of uWink, which are now in use at the restaurants, in a few Carlos and Chilis in some airport, and have no real customer base. In fact, last I read they were just getting round to creating promotional literature and hiring some company to sell the software. But, the management got away with their money, that is what counts...
oh.. and they threw the remaining shareholders some shares in TapCode and called them "spinoff" shares in order to give the illusion that they give a shit and likely to prevent lawsuits against them.
Your shares make good wallpaper in the bathroom and may have some other uses in that area of the house..
Any other questions?
I've been wondering the same thing.
Tapcode Holdings.....
So I have not paid much attention to this stock in awhile. I pretty much wrote off my shares. Now I see I have this TapCode holding restricted shares. can anyone link me to where I can find more details on when these are exercisable?
for any stock to have a stock price it must have some plan to make money in the foreseeable future. This stock was always built on hopes; first of a chain of restaurants that had a few winning strategies based on technology and innovation, then of software sales. the software sales thing was never clear to me, they never had the right personnel or structure. I never saw it as being real. The spinoff to Tapco was a formality, a recognition of what was already apparent. The only shares that may be worth anything someday would be the Tapco shares. These uWink restaurants are not intended to make money anymore. They may be intended to act as demo suites for the new company (Tapco), but I would think at best they would break-even. They don't have to report.. so no one knows how they are doing. At this point there is no story or profitable future potential to invest in.
Penny stocks, like ones worth real pennies are very alluring. They are so cheap and the profit potential is so great that it is easy to build a massive position. But the fees will be expensive, and usually they do exactly what Rawnoc just posted.. they die...
ones I find interesting right now? Don't bother with uWink..
- DDY - Canadian Venture, there is a software company on the move..
- OCE - Canadian Venture... leftover from the dot-com boom.. holding company could be worth something, I just don't know what their plan is now.
- BLP - Canadian Venture.. breaking even, no growth, real boring.. but the chart is jumping.
UWKI by comparison is totally dead.
Biggest problem was they didn't close the pending franchise sales I think due to the bad economy, commercial real estate collapse, credit collapse, etc. I wouldn't throw a dime at any price right now IMO. I think it's going under.
Due to what? ...a bad economy? Nolan run out of steam/motivation?
Still getting emails boasting 12 Football screens and pitchers of beer at happy hour prices!
Oh... Thurs nite Karoake too! ...lol
Is it feasible to throw some $ in at .025?
This stock and company are toast until further notice IMO.
What 1-day spike...a penny? Haven't been 'on' for awhile. See u 2 still here. Anything in the pipeline? Did they open-up anymore sites? Howz Mt. View going? See Jack-in-the boxes have the self-serve kiosks.
That must be why the stock is up 100%!!!
Netman is rich!!
Nolan Bushnell to be on CNBC in a few minutes....FWIW
Didn't get any e-mail.... ???
i CAN'T BELIEVE IT... what a 1-day spike. Must be a day trader or two playing games... it is beyond me to even attempt to play with fire like this... lol.. rofl
LOL, I was just thinking about you. How ya been?
Nah, it was the drinks, they were out of burgers.
Yes you still own both.
So do a lot more of us ! LOL
hey raw. that's fine and dandy that you're being the comedian as usual but your answer has NOTHING to do with my question. get with the program !! lol
they probably had no cash, so he said he would go out and buy some stock instead. That was an $18000 burger...
