Method: play rate and plays per player are your estimates, not figures from other venues. Your share is taken after prizes and payment costs, and the machine's electricity is subtracted from it.
The problem
Every venue has ten square feet of dead space, and every venue owner would like more revenue without more work.
Claw machines are popular and high-margin, but owning one means buying hardware, sourcing prizes, emptying coin boxes, fixing jams and tuning payouts, which no restaurant owner will do.
So the space stays empty.
Who it is for
Restaurants, laundromats and barber shops
Venues with a spare ten square feet and no interest in buying hardware, sourcing prizes or fixing jams.
Entertainment venues and shopping centres
Bowling alleys, cinemas, hotels and family entertainment venues that want more revenue from their space without more work.
Franchise operators
Operators who want a passive route business across several locations.
What ChainClaws takes care of
A managed route business. The venue provides a corner and the electricity; everything else is ours to run.
Owned and placed by us
We supply the machine and place it in your space. You provide the floor space and the electricity.
Stocked with prizes
We source the prizes and keep the machine stocked, so nobody at the venue has to think about it.
Service visits when needed
Telemetry reports faults and prize levels, so visits are scheduled by data rather than by a fixed route.
Card and phone payments
Every machine is cashless, taking card and phone payment, so there is no coin box for anyone to empty.
Monitored remotely
Plays, revenue, prize inventory and fault alerts are reported remotely for every machine.
Payouts tuned to stay legal
Payout ratios are tuned remotely to keep the game fun and within the rules.
