NTN Buzztime, Inc. Signs Extension for 64 Buffalo Wild Wing Franchisee-Owned Restaurants

CARLSBAD, Calif., July 29, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- NTN Buzztime, Inc. (NYSE American: NTN), signed an agreement with Diversified Restaurant Holdings to extend its entertainment services for 64 Buffalo Wild Wing franchises through December 2020. 

"Buffalo Wild Wings franchisees understand the draw of Buzztime Entertainment," said Ram Krishnan, NTN Buzztime CEO.  "They know Buzztime helps increase their monthly revenue by attracting a loyal clientele.  In fact, during tests when Buzztime was removed from the premises, Buzztime players took their business elsewhere. Therefore, many of the 580 Buffalo Wild Wing franchisees are evaluating continuing their Buzztime subscriptions. Already, one of the largest Buffalo Wild Wing franchise owners, Diversified Restaurant Holdings, extended 64 venues for another year with some locations converting to a mobile only based experience.  We hope they are the first of many franchisees to protect their patron experience as well as take advantage of our new mobile and capital light offering."

"We are excited about both the partnership and the outlook for Buzztime," Ram continued.  "Our summer Trivia for Cash competition is already on pace to exceed the number of games played by 100% vs our previous highest month, and our recent Nielsen study highlights that 7 of 10 players are more likely to choose a venue with Buzztime and visit frequently, to the tune of 3 times over a 4-week period."
