Writing a letter for you guys is a slam dunk.
1. Turfway knows their stuff. Like, everything. From setting up a kitchen, to choosing arcade and redemption games, to effective staffing and hiring of personnel.
1a. They’re all meticulous! They’re one step ahead of you the whole time, making sure nothing falls between the cracks.
2. Dave came up to Montreal to see our building and our location in the city and gave us a green light. His initial proposals helped us clarify our vision and goals.
3. Dave ‘lives’ a vision of how an FEC should operate, and he teaches it well.
4. Everyone at Turfway is generous. With their time, and with their knowledge. Their goal is to help you succeed. But you have to use your ears!
5. Andrea and I deconstructed the kitchen, bar and menu. We’ve only been open 4 months, but she was right on the money. We are as functional and efficient as can be. Her advice when hiring upper management staff was invaluable.
6. Lee held our hand as we commissioned our software systems – from restaurant software to game card readers to payment systems. He steered us towards games that were gonna make money, and our game room is very successful in great part thanks to his advice. (And his tweaking of our software at startup.) He made sure the reports we get from the various software systems are legible at a quick glance, and include the critical information we need to make decisions as we go.
7. Just 2 weeks ago I called Dave about getting some help in improving our restaurant inventory control (which we thought we should do ourselves), and even though our contract was done he provided us with his sample spreadsheets and sat on a zoom with me and my GM to explain it all.
Without reservation and in full confidence, you should hire them. No amount of my hype will leave you feeling let down. If you’re already in business, their team will find the ways to significantly improve your bottom line, and if you’re just starting out they’ll make sure you make the right decisions every step of the way.
When Shangri-La decided to include an Arcade/FEC into the planned Activity Center design, a steep learning curve was encountered. To our good fortune, we were introduced to Dave Wallace and the Turfway Entertainment team. The industry insight, accessibility to critical industry elements and expertise was amazing to witness. Without his guidance, we would have made multiple critical errors, a few of which would have been cost preventative to correct after launch. With the guidance provided, our project known as The Anchor at Shangri-La has been an outrageous success, with revenues over double our budgeted expectations. We are ever so grateful to Dave and team for being a key part of the success we are experiencing!
Gamechangers! Turfway is the very best at what they do, and I would recommend them to anyone in the entertainment business! Turfway Entertainment did a complete analysis of our business and provided us with a very detailed snapshot of the changes we needed to make to be successful and reach our maximum potential. Turfway not only identified missed opportunities, but also provided a detailed plan on how to correct issues to help maximize our profitability and make our lives easier. Whether you’re a prospective new business or an existing business looking to increase your competitive advantage, Turfway can help you succeed. They were always available to answer questions and have a huge portfolio of industry experts. Since we implemented their recommended changes, we have seen very positive results and look forward to continuing our partnership.
Dave guided me through the entire process. I knew the movie business, not the FEC business. His advice was vital during the construction and vendor phases. He was just a text or phone call away and was always available. Once the FEC was built I hired the Turfway team to help us train the staff and be onsite for opening week. So glad I did that otherwise, we would have made a lot of mistakes. I know we saved money by hiring Dave and his team. I suggest you do the same.
His knowledge of the industry helped to fast-track certain issues and his access to key people helped to avoid a lot of stress and misinformation. Finally, Turfway’s overall approach to helping businesses navigate the complexities of such an undertaking was instrumental to my success and I could not have asked for a better partnership.
Dave and the team at Turfway were awesome to work with. The knowledge and systems they brought to our facility more than paid for their services before we even opened our doors. You don’t know what you don’t know. So hire someone that knows. Highly recommend.
Great company to work with. I highly recommend going with a professional company to tell you what to do or you will end up paying multiple times that amount on learning it yours self. And if they tell you they don’t recommend a salad bar then don’t do it and be stubborn like Mike because he ends up taking it out 2 years later.
We have always been extremely impressed when working with Dave and Turfway Entertainment. For any partners we work with, it’s important to know they have the client’s best interests in mind and are able to get results. Dave’s experience and expertise puts his clients in an amazing position to succeed.
