What it is & how it works

One balance, tapped across the whole venue

Intercard replaces cash and coins with a single stored-value account a guest carries on a card, wristband or their phone. They load it once, then tap to bowl, play the arcade, order food or join any activity — while you manage and see everything from the cloud.

1 · Load

Top up in seconds

Guests buy or reload a card, wristband or app at an iTeller kiosk or online — no queue at the desk.

2 · Tap & play

Value at every game

An iReader at each lane, game and attraction deducts play instantly — a tap and they're in.

3 · Spend anywhere

One account, everything

The same balance works across bowling, arcade, F&B and attractions — nothing to carry, nothing to lose.

4 · Manage

Live from the cloud

Every transaction lands in Cutting Edge — sales, guests and reporting on any device, on-site or off.

Works with Brunswick Sync

The cashless layer on top of your Sync POS

Intercard integrates natively with Brunswick Sync POS — so bowling on Sync and the arcade on Intercard share one guest, one transaction flow and one set of reports. No double systems, no reconciling two tills by hand.

One guest account across bowling (Sync) and games (Intercard).
Game cards from the lane — print or top up right at the Sync scoring tablet.
Cards sold & recharged through Sync POS and Intercard kiosks alike.
Unified reporting — bowling and arcade revenue reconciled together.

Why cashless works in a bowling center

Guests spend more when they stop counting cash

Revenue

Up to 30% more revenue

According to Intercard, cashless systems can lift revenue by up to 30%, because guests reload more easily and keep playing.

Flow

Longer visits, less friction

One balance across bowling, arcade, bar and attractions keeps groups moving and playing between frames — not queuing to pay.

Operations

No cash handling

Less theft and fewer errors, faster service, and self-service kiosks that cover the busiest nights with less staff.

Marketing

Know your guests

Every tap builds guest data for loyalty, targeted offers and campaigns that fill quiet days.

Prepaid

Money in the door first

Guests pay before they play — value is loaded up front, and unspent balances stay in your center.

Modern

The experience guests expect

Card, wristband or phone — a slick, contactless journey that fits a modern bowling and leisure venue.
