In late August, Hurricane Harvey made landfall in the Southeast coast of the US and the Caribbean. A lot of people were affected by the wind, flood, and the destruction that it had caused. Disaster victims were left without homes and power.

Barcodes, Inc. worked on a few office fundraisers, including a coin drive and additional monetary donations, in order to help the people that were affected by the devastations. In addition to monetary contributions, our employees also contributed to the food and blood drive to help the victims of Hurricane Harvey and Irma.

We are happy to announce that Barcodes, Inc. has raised $1000. We would also like to issue a big thank you to our partners, Janam (provider of rugged handheld mobile devices) and Unitech (provider of barcode scanners and mobility) who matched our donations, which brought us to a total of $3,000 raised and donated to the American Red Cross Disaster Relief. Red Cross will use donor dollars to provide meals, shelters, and health services for individuals and families affected by the hurricanes.

We hope that this will help our friends in need at this time and we will continue our efforts in our fundraising activities to do more and help others in need.

Besides the movie that you are going to watch, the ticketing system are integral to the cinema experience as well. Kiosks can be used to purchase tickets, retrieve tickets bought online, and to place concession orders. This is especially important for movie goers who arrive with just a few minutes to spare. They can bypass the line to purchase tickets or snacks and still make it in time before the movie starts.

To make sure your cinema kiosk is reaching its full potential by considering these 4 things:

1. Your Kiosk should support a thermal printer- A cinema kiosk should support a heavy duty thermal printer with a jam free system to produce tickets in the fastest way. Star’s SK1-21 Kiosk Printer two inch series provides dependable, maintenance- free printers that have a fast print speed of 200mm/ sec with 203 dpi resolution. All SK-21 models will intergrate with many commonly used kiosk solutions. It provides high speed, reliability, and will integrate in your kiosk seamlessly.

2. Barcode Scanner- Movie theaters often offer their own loyalty program to keep the customers returning back.  Your customers love freebies and accruing points towards free movie tickets, so don’t keep them waiting on the full service line to rack up the points.

3. Integrated Speakers- Talk to the customer through the ticket buying process. This is important for those who aren’t familiar with the self-service kiosks check out.

4. Card Payment Acceptance- Not everyone carries cash, so make sure that your kiosk is equipped with a card reader and payment processing platform.

Check out the video below on a successful self service kiosk integration at Nitehawk Cinema.
