Spare Time Texas Turns to Intercard’s i3 Reader

Intercard installed i3 Readers at Spare Time Texas’ newest location in Pflugerville, Texas, near Austin.  The Pflugerville location opened in December 2015.  “We felt Intercard is ahead of their competitors when it comes to RFID technology,” said Rick Heim, who owns Spare Time Texas with partner Mike Emmons, and is a partner in Cornerstone Consulting, which works with owners and operators of family entertainment centers and bowling centers.  “Their all-in-one reader (i3 Reader) allows us to use mag strip for now, then integrate RFID next year or so without having to switch out readers.  Also, Intercard has a sophisticated marketing platform for this industry, which provides more guest-relations opportunities, such as adding free plays to guests’ cards, if you want to.  It’s pretty early, but we’re very happy with the results so far.”
