Frank Licausi and John Tarpley are long-time friends who played darts, pool, and pinball together. Frank was the owner of Lee Vending and a successful Family Entertainment Center in Kansas City. John was an executive at a major automotive supplier with a background in engineering and operations.
After experiencing the frustrations with the high costs, outdated technology, and poor customer support from legacy card systems, Frank and John joined forces to create Amusement Connect in 2017. Their shared vision was to build a better card system at a better price so that entertainment centers can deliver the ultimate guest experience and thrive.
Today, Amusement Connect is a 100% founder-owned, profitable, and fastest-growing game card system in the industry. With over 2700+ locations in 8 years, owners and operators are switching to the system that provides more value, higher profitability, and superior customer experience.
The future is looking bright for Amusement Connect and the entire Amusement Industry. Amusement Connect is leading the way to serve small venues, multi-location centers, and franchises with the business intelligence they need to grow and thrive. Together we can raise the tide for the industry we all love.
