How COAMs Drive Passive Revenue for Restaurants

 

As restaurant owners, you’re always on the lookout for innovative ways to increase revenue, attract more customers, and maximize the value of every square foot in your business. What if we told you there’s a way to bring in hundreds of thousands of dollars in passive income yearly, without adding to your overhead or drastically changing your daily operations?

At ARC Gaming & Technology (arcgt.com), we specialize in helping businesses like yours unlock new streams of income through Coin-Operated Amusement Machines (COAMs). Whether it’s a bar, grill, diner, or full-service restaurant, COAMs are a proven, high-margin opportunity that can fuel your bottom line.

What is a COAM?

A Coin-Operated Amusement Machine (COAM) is exactly what it sounds like—an entertainment machine that customers pay to play. This includes Class B COAMs, such as:

  • Digital skill-based games

  • Coin pushers

  • Redemption games

  • Video gaming terminals (where permitted)

These machines are regulated by the Georgia Lottery Corporation, and when operated legally, they can generate substantial recurring revenue for your business.

How COAMs Drive Passive Revenue for Restaurants

1. New Income Stream Without Heavy Investment

COAMs are a turnkey solution. Through ARC Gaming & Technology, we provide the machines, handle installation, and manage maintenance. You don’t need to worry about upfront capital or ongoing operational costs. You earn a percentage of the revenue from every play.

2. Boost Customer Dwell Time & Spending

When customers are engaged with COAMs, they stay longer. More time on-site often translates to higher food and beverage sales, increasing your restaurant’s total ticket averages.

3. Attract a Broader Customer Base

Restaurants with entertainment options become community hotspots. COAMs create a casual, fun atmosphere that appeals to:

  • Families looking for interactive experiences

  • Groups of friends seeking casual entertainment

  • Regular patrons who enjoy skill-based games

4. Completely Passive, Yet Profitable

Once the COAMs are in place, they essentially work for you 24/7. Unlike expanding your menu or increasing staff, COAMs generate revenue without adding complexity to your operations. Think of them as silent salespeople, always on, always earning.

Real Revenue Potential: Six Figures and Beyond

It’s not uncommon for successful restaurant locations to generate $150,000 – $300,000+ in annual COAM revenue. Factors like foot traffic, location, and machine variety play a role, but with ARC Gaming & Technology as your partner, we’ll help you optimize for maximum return.
