GoTab Announces Certified Integration with Amusement Connect to Unify Gameplay, Food & Beverage, and Retail on a Single Guest Tab

With this integration, operators can now unify gameplay, food and beverage, and retail purchases on a single guest tab. Guests receive an RFID card linked directly to their GoTab tab initiated at the Point-of-Sale, allowing them to tap and play games and attractions while all charges automatically post alongside food and beverage purchases for a single, seamless checkout experience.

The integration unifies gameplay, food and beverage, and retail on a single guest tab, creating a seamless experience for guests and operators alike.

ARLINGTON, Va., June 15, 2026 — GoTab, the leading entertainment commerce platform for entertainment venues, breweries, bars, food halls, and restaurants today announced a certified integration with Amusement Connect, a point-of-play ecosystem that helps arcades, bars, and FECs generate more revenue and deliver the best guest experience.

"Today's entertainment venues are looking for ways to reduce friction, increase guest spending, and create more connected experiences," said Tim McLaughlin, CEO and co-founder of GoTab. "By leveraging the seamless GoTab and Amusement Connect integration, operators can eliminate disconnected payment experiences and give guests a simple way to enjoy everything a venue has to offer while keeping all spending unified on one tab."

Founded in 2017 and based in Kansas City, Missouri, Amusement Connect is a leading U.S. cashless game payment solutions platform serving family entertainment centers, arcades, bowling centers, skating rinks, barcades, and restaurants.

“Amusement Connect is focused on helping operators create the best possible experience for guests while delivering the business intelligence they need to optimize their operations. Integrating with GoTab allows us to extend that vision by connecting gameplay directly to the broader guest journey, creating a more seamless experience for guests and more actionable data for operators.” - John Tarpley - Co-Founder, Amusement Connect

Key benefits of the integration include:

Unified Tab Billing – Gameplay, food and beverage, and retail purchases are consolidated on a single GoTab tab.
Frictionless Guest Experience – Guests can begin playing immediately without purchasing or reloading separate game cards through standalone payment stations.
Automatic Play Posting – Gameplay transactions are automatically added to guest tabs with no manual reconciliation.
Single-Check Settlement – Attractions, food and beverage, and retail revenue are reconciled together within GoTab reporting.
Guest-Level Visibility – Operators gain insight into gameplay and spending behavior tied directly to identified guest profiles rather than anonymous card transactions.

The integration is particularly valuable for family entertainment centers, bowling venues, arcade bars, social gaming concepts, multi-attraction venues, and other hospitality businesses seeking to unify guest experiences across multiple revenue streams.

As GoTab continues to expand its ecosystem of certified integrations, the partnership reinforces the company's commitment to helping operators build differentiated guest experiences through an open, flexible platform that connects hospitality, entertainment, loyalty, and operational technologies.

Situated “in the heart of it all, yet tranquil enough to make you feel away from it all too,” The Limelight Hotel Snowmass offers 99 hotel rooms and 11 residences, as well as footsteps-to-gondola access in winter and summer — right in the middle of Snowmass Base Village.

The Situation

Especially over the last few years, the Limelight Hotels IT team had witnessed a significant shift to contactless technology in the hospitality industry. After evaluating friction points in the guest journey, aligning with modern technology platforms in their restaurant was determined to be an effective way to offer elevated contactless dining experiences to their guests while also evolving their technology platforms to continue to support long-term company goals. Limelight Hotel partnered with GoTab to provide an enhanced on-demand dining experience on par with the brand’s reputation for exceptional guest service.

The Solution

Reducing Staff Touch Points Without Sacrificing Guest Experience

Guests are now able to begin a tab from their room or the property’s restaurant by scanning a QR code, texting a link to friends or family members on the ski slope to add in their orders, then meeting up together at the patio or lodge to enjoy their meal and après ski festivities without interruption. By streamlining tasks like inputting orders and processing payments, this eliminates friction for hotel staff and allows them to focus on delivering renowned guest service for a memorable experience. Since partnering with GoTab, Limelight Snowmass has consistently seen higher check averages and sales.

“We found the Point of Sale platforms we were looking at offered the guest and staff limited opportunities to further reduce touch points or improve the traditional restaurant experience. The GoTab platform enabled the guest to take an active role over the flow of their experience while simultaneously reducing touch points and further streamlining restaurant operations.”Nick Giglio, Manager of Hotel IT Operations, The Little Nell Hotel Group

According to the Limelight Hotels team, some of the other platforms that were evaluated were either missing some of the pieces they were looking for, had weak customer support models, or had little willingness to develop integrations to existing hotel platforms already in place. To that end, GoTab integrated with cloud-based platform, Infor. Together, GoTab and Infor are providing dynamic solutions to support central, efficient service across hotel amenities and deliver exceptional guest experiences.

“Previously, guests would call down to the restaurant to begin an order from their room or while they were out enjoying the ski slopes. Using GoTab, guests can now place orders from anywhere on the resort, giving them the on-demand service they want without interrupting their day. GoTab empowers us to give control to the guest, reducing touch points and streamlining overall restaurant operations, making Limelight Hotel the resort of choice for Snowmass.”Nick Giglio, Manager of Hotel IT Operations, The Little Nell Hotel Group

Since introducing GoTab, The Limelight Hotel has seen a consistent level of upsells and items sold per check resulting in additional revenue capture. They have been able to maintain service levels in their restaurants during periods when there was reduced staffing available without significantly diminishing the guest experience.

The Benefits

Eliminate Phone Orders – Take Orders from the Slopes. Guests can start a tab from their room or on the mountain without interrupting the flow of their day.

Future-Proofed Technologies – Delivering elevated contactless ordering via integration with the Infor hotel management platform.
