The Lanes - Bowl & Bistro Case Study

A 10-lane, 11,650-square-foot boutique family entertainment center located in the hook-shaped peninsula of Cape Cod, The Lanes pays homage to the history of the sport by featuring old-time images on its masking units. The facility also encompasses a full bistro, entertainment platform and outdoor bocce court.

Bowling centers have long been hubs of entertainment and social gatherings, and the backbone of these centers are the pinsetters or pinspotters that ensure smooth operation and minimal downtime. Andrew Baldic, a seasoned line cook and avid bowler with a 215 average, attests to the significant advancements in bowling technology with the introduction of the QubicaAMF EDGE String pinspotter.

Unlike traditional free-fall machines which required constant maintenance and often led to frustrated customers, the EDGE String system has revolutionized the experience at The Lanes Bowl and Bistro. With the integration of the Tech Wizard mobile app, Andrew can now monitor and quickly resolve issues like string tangles remotely, often in less than two minutes. This innovative system not only minimizes disruptions during play but also drastically reduces the need for physical maintenance interventions.

The impact of upgrading to the QubicaAMF EDGE String Bowling Machines extends beyond just operational efficiency; it also enhances customer satisfaction and streamlines management practices. Elise Perry, a human resources director, observes a noticeable improvement in customer mood and overall facility ambiance since the switch. The EDGE String Pinspotter, praised for its reliability and efficiency, has virtually eliminated the common grievances associated with older bowling machines, thereby fostering a more enjoyable and stress-free environment. Investing in such modern bowling technologies proves not only a smart decision from a maintenance perspective but also a strategic move to elevate customer experience and satisfaction in bowling centers. This transition to advanced pinsetting technology underscores the evolving landscape of the bowling industry, where innovation leads to better service and smoother operational flow.
