Welcome to the Eatertainment Showdown, the eighth showdown from Nation’s Restaurant News. In this iteration, we are pitting four eatertainment chains from all over the country against one another.
The eatertainment category has seen several waves of innovation over the past 20 years. Stalwarts like Chuck E. Cheese and Dave & Buster’s defined the category, but there are many young and emerging chains taking the category out of the arcade and into the sports world.
This month’s Eatertainment Showdown covers four separate sports that are making these games more accessible for new customers and creating fans while doing it. Some of them have proprietary technology to change traditional sports, while others are embracing new and trending sports.
Nation’s Restaurant News talked to leaders at four emerging eatertainment chains and we want to know who you think has the most exciting concept? |
