Does this actually make sense for your shop
Straight answer: it depends on how people use your space.
If customers sit down, wait on a friend, or hang around after they buy, a console earns its spot. If your counter is a quick in and out, it will not change your traffic, and we would rather tell you that than sell you one on a promise.
Shops that tend to be a fit have somewhere to sit, a wall or counter with a screen already on it or room for one, and customers who arrive in pairs.
Two ways to put one in
You already have a TV.
Start with the Ultimate Batocera Retro Gaming Console. The 1TB is the entry point, it plugs straight into the screen you already have, and it sits out of the way behind or below it. Plug and play, 60+ supported systems, nothing to set up.
If you want more room on it, the 2TB Mini Gaming PC is the same idea with a bigger drive.
You do not have a screen.
The Umbrella Mini has its own built in and works the same way in a corner with no TV nearby.
Both are the same hardware we sell to customers every day. There is no special commercial line, which is why there is no lead time and no minimum.
The QR code, if you want it
Any shop that keeps a unit can take a store-specific QR code. A customer who plays with it, likes it, and scans the code orders from us, and you get 10% of that order. It applies across Umbrella Arcades products.
No inventory. No stock. Nothing to ship. You are not a dealer and there is no agreement to sign, you just get paid when the code gets used.
How to start
Reply to the email or call 484.631.5241 and tell us two things: whether you already have a screen, and whether people sit down in your shop. That is enough for us to say whether it is worth your time.
