This is very encouraging and hopeful that Buzztime is on schedule with the roll-out of the new tablets! Did the BWW need to shutdown for anytime to upgrade software?

Great, right on schedule, hard to believe.

Was the menu ordering software installed yet?
Or the credit card pay option?

I know most of us don't care much about either of those options but they are very important for the long term existence of Buzztime. If this doesn't work well, Roark Group, the new owners of BWW will probably look for other options.

Looking good though, since the 4th Gen is on schedule.

Maybe MD will get them by fall.

Thanks for posting the update. We have been wondering when they would roll out.
For some time there have been a few questions about the tablet on the $5 off survey at the bottom of BWW receipts. I wonder what % will actually use the payment feature or if BWW even examines that data.
Regardless for years I have filled out these surveys, specifically stating that we come to BWW solely for Buzztime trivia, in hopes that someone somewhere keeps a tally.

Great, thanks Liljol. So what's the size and feel of these gen 4s? Bigger, smaller? Is the case strong looking, still have nice rubber corners? How's the play and response of the screen, any better than the 3 which would take a couple of hits on some old dirty ones.

The sitting them around on tables like at Applebee's was what I was worried about. I can see a shortage for MB teams already.

Dang it, that's bad news. You would have thought all that security would have been tested before rolling out. Hopefully a fix can be implemented quickly.

Now, how long will Inspire Brands (parent of Arby's and BWW) give BT to figure this out. I've read that Paul Brown CEO of Inspire has said he will be very patient with BWW, hopefully that applies to thier BT contract too.

It can't be too hard to have secure payments on the tablet. The other brands at Applebee's don't seem to have trouble.
