How Bowling Alleys Are Making Their Hospitality Smarter

It's Saturday night. The bowling alley is packed, the lanes are buzzing, and guests are thirsty and hungry. Staff are doing their best to keep up, but according to some visitors, service still takes just a bit too long. Sound familiar?

More and more bowling alleys are solving this with digital ordering—the ultimate solution for leisure hospitality. From QR codes to tablets and kiosks, with digital ordering you make ordering faster and easier for your guests, while boosting your revenue.

With QR ordering, guests simply scan a code at their lane or restaurant table. The full menu appears instantly on their phone. They place and pay for their order themselves, which means:

• Shorter waiting times
• Staff have more time for hospitality
• Average order values are about 20% higher thanks to smart upsells (like pitchers of beer or extra snacks)

Even more convenient: a tablet at every lane. The menu is always visible and with just one tap, guests place their order. No walking around, no waiting in line—and for the bowling alley this means: more orders per hour and higher volumes.

Many bowling alleys also have a restaurant or lounge where guests enjoy food and drinks. With a self-order kiosk, visitors place their order themselves, receive a pickup number, and collect their order when it's ready. This results in:

• Faster service flow
• More capacity during peak times
• Less pressure on staff

Bowling alleys using digital ordering see proven results:

• 10–30% higher revenue per guest due to upselling and cross-selling
• Up to 40% more orders processed in the same time frame
• Lower staff costs, since orders are digital and error-free

A quick chat with one of our bowling clients confirmed it instantly:

"From the moment we started using the Jamezz tablet application we knew it was the right decision! It relieves a huge amount of pressure on our staff, and all of our guests, from kids to seniors, find it very easy to use."

In a time where good staff is hard to find, digital ordering gives bowling alleys more control. Employees spend less time taking orders and handling payments, and more time focusing on great hospitality.

Bowling is all about fun, speed, and convenience. With QR codes, tablets, and kiosks from Jamezz, ordering becomes part of that experience. Guests enjoy a seamless visit, while bowling alleys generate more revenue with less staff.
