Internet Cafe software has an ability to protect your client PCs from customers eventual wrong computer use and it takes a special care about your gaming café business profit.
Gaming Center usually offers the latest video games which require High-End client computers with really strong graphic cards and processors. So, the first point in gaming cafe business is to provide expensive hardware to client computers because nobody likes to watch for example slow slide-show while playing video game.
What do we offer?
Original PC games, especially the latest ones, are really big cost for your company if you plan to offer a game on each of client computers. ‘Licence key management’ ** feature provided by Antamedia Internet Cafe software is a solution that saves money for you company. ‘Licence key management’** feature transfers game licence key on a computer where the game is started and allows you to install the game on each of client PCs in the gaming cafe, even if you buy just few game licences.
Another Gaming Center software option, related with the games, is called ‘Member user profile’ **. This option saves game positions that the user has just played in your gaming cafe and load it automatically next time when the same user logins to any of client computers. Every user likes this option because the particular game position is stored in this way and it is not necessary to play the desired game from the very beginning.
Multi-player games are the reason why gaming cafes have become so popular. It is really interesting for a player to actually see the face of the enemy when you beat him in favorite multi-player game (like Counter Strike). It is much funnier than playing just simple online games. Nice feature offered by Internet Cafe software is ‘Chat’. This option gives an ability to send messages to your gaming partner and make an agreement how to beat the `enemy`.
While playing the game, gamers usually lose the sense about playing time. Internet Cafe software server sends voice and text message to a client computer ‘5 and 1 minute’ before the time of the account expires, so your customer – player has enough time to extend the account. User can send a chat message to your employees in order to extend the user account, or might even buy a refill ticket to extend the existing account when it expires.
A lot of different pricing methods in Gaming Center software allow you to make VIP account tickets with the special discount price for your Café regular customers. Moreover, you can charge different prices depending on the games or programs used by customers. With Antamedia Internet Cafe software you can print pre-paid accounts in advance and give to your employees, hotel receptions or town newsagents` to sell those accounts. Another thing that you can do for your VIP members is to give them access smart cards. Using smart cards your customer does not need to remember their account login details (username and password), everything he or she needs to do is to plug-in an access card to a card reader connected with the client computer.
Computer video games sometimes take too much resources and this makes computer slow after game playing. “Reset client after session end” option, included in Internet Cafe software, always secures the state of freshness for a computer and the next login and user. This option reboot client computer when the user finishes with game play. Similar option “Shutdown client after session end” that shutdowns client computer when the user finishes, also secures fresh computer for next user. Another excellent thing of that option is power saving when you do not have customers to play.
Information about game tournaments in your gaming cafe and similar advertising messages can be shown in a form of banners on a client computer in the very skin of Internet Cafe software, so every user can be easily and in time informed. Beside banners for advertising purposes, Internet Cafe software allows you to show your web page or Logo on the client computer authentication page.
Pc games are not only popular in gaming cafes. Game consoles like Xbox, Playstation 2 and 3, Nintendo Wii etc. are really popular in the gaming world, especially if you use them on big LCD or plasma screens.
