OUR COMPANY
ABOUT US
uWink, Inc. (OTCBB: UWNK) is a digital entertainment company based in Los Angeles, California that develops interactive entertainment software and platforms for restaurants, bars, and mobile devices. Led by entertainment and restaurant visionary Nolan Bushnell, founder and former CEO of Atari (NasdaqNM: ATAR) and Chuck E. Cheese (NYSE: CEC), uWink is currently building a new entertainment dining experience called uWink Bistro (working title) which leverages uWink’s proprietary network and entertainment software, including the uWink Game Library.
uWink is currently building a new entertainment dining experience called uWink Bistro which leverages uWink’s proprietary network and entertainment software, including the uWink Game Library.
uWink has invested more than $10 million over the last 4 years to build its entertainment vending platform, Boxter Bear, and its Entertainment Systems Network, including SNAP! and the uWink Game Library. uWink’s sophisticated and proprietary technology serves as the foundation for the uWink Bistro. Similar to how Chuck E. Cheese created a new market opportunity for Atari’s games, uWink believes that the uWink Bistro will provide an exciting new venue and market for its products. uWink’s proprietary technology creates significant barriers to entry, including cost of development, time to market and decades of game play experience.
The Company plans to open its first restaurant location in Los Angeles in Q3 of 2006, with one additional location shortly thereafter. The initial location is in Woodland Hills and Management has identified a number of potential target locations for the second. The Company is currently seeking financial and strategic partners to participate in the development and growth of this unique new restaurant model.
The Story of uWink
From our fun, casual games, to our legendary leader, uWink is simply about fun and food. We make it easy for people to interact, have fun, and enjoy a delicious meal at a reasonable price. uWink is an entertainment dining experience that can’t be had anywhere else. It’s not a game arcade or a pool , an interactive, social restaurant where at the table touch screens let you be in control of your meal and your fun.
The Food
At the center of uWink is our food. It’s fresh and made just for you. Ordered at the table on touch screen terminals, served quickly and accurately by runners. No waiting for a waitperson, no misunderstandings in the kitchen. No flagging down your server to get more water. Our signature bistro fare includes pizza, burgers, salads, appetizers and shareable desserts. Tasty and fresh always! Our lunch specials make grabbing a meal (and some fun) a snap. There’s something for everyone to enjoy - any time of day.
The Place
Our look and feel is dynamic – ever-changing iCandy creates a hip and sophisticated environment. Warm booths and a lively bar area make uWink a comfortable and entertaining place to spend an evening, and our speedy services make uWink an excellent place to grab a quick and delicious lunch. There is an immediate connection with uWink that so many feel when they first walk in the door. You`re immediately engaged in interactive fun and surrounded by a sophisticated, hip and warm atmosphere complete with iCandy inviting you to engage and enjoy, while savoring the innovative flavors of our menu. uWink offers a premium convenience where you always feel welcome and where you always have a great time.
