EMBED celebrates 20 years by extending free Mobile Wallet
mbed, a global leader in cashless business management systems and solutions for the amusement; entertainment and leisure industries, recently announced celebrations in lieu of its 20th anniversary, marking two successful decades of innovation, industry leadership and resilience in the family entertainment centre (FEC) sector.
In celebration of its legacy, the company has launched an e-gallery detailing its rich history, challenges it has overcome, as well as accomplishments amassed over the years. In light of the ongoing pandemic and to support its customers’ road to recovery, Embed also announced it is extending the free giveaway of its award- winning Mobile Wallet solution for another year. The ease of installation, along with no app download required is one of the reasons Embed’s Mobile Wallet has been well received by FECs in the industry. COVID-19 has served as a driver for contactless cash payments and the low-touch economy, with more amusement and entertainment spaces, such as theme parks, arcades, paintball centres and bowling alleys encouraged to leverage Embed’s innovative solution as they resume operations during a pandemic.
In addition, the company released limited edition 20th anniversary-themed Game Cards. These customisable Game Cards are said to allow FEC owners and partners
to continue delivering fun and memorable experiences to their guests, driving return visits and greater guest spend, and subsequently building brand loyalty.
