About the Company

Dave & Busters

Arcade gaming and dining entertainment chain

Dave & Buster's operates a chain of entertainment venues that blend arcade games, sports viewing, and full-service dining. Guests can pay to play a wide range of arcade games, order meals and drinks from a bar and restaurant, and watch live or televised sports in a large, social setting. The venues also host events such as corporate parties and social gatherings, offering packages that combine games, food, and drinks. The product experience centers on visiting a single location for both entertainment and dining, rather than solely playing games or eating separately. In comparison to competitors, Dave & Buster's differentiates itself by providing a large, integrated entertainment and hospitality venue that targets families, young adults, and corporate groups, rather than a narrow focus on games or dining alone. Its goal is to attract guests to a venue that offers a comprehensive, social entertainment experience in one place, encouraging repeat visits and planning for events and groups.
