Residential Bowling Alley Installations – Factors To Be Taken Into Account

Residential bowling alley installations are becoming increasingly popular lately in the US. The number of residential bowling alley installations is increasing every year. Previously, only the most affluent people opted for home bowling alley installations but today more and more people are ready to invest in bowling alley installations at their homes hoping to bring right into their homes the fun and excitement of commercial bowling alleys. Installing residential bowling alley will of course make you popular not only among your friends, but in the entire neighborhood. You can have fun with your family and friends right at your home. Your home will become one of the most favored hangout spots for your friends.

While installing home bowling alleys is certainly a fancy idea, there are certain important factors that need you need to be taken into account before you can successfully install the bowling alleys in your home. The first consideration of course here is going to be your budget. To get an idea on what exactly to expect when it comes to the budget, try to get quotes from the most trusted bowling alley manufacturer. It is important that you contact only reputed bowling companies because the quality and the durability of the bowling alleys installed will of course depend on the quality of the bowling equipment used.

The second most important consideration is the space. The space required will depend on the number of lanes required and whether you need a lounge along with your bowling alley. If we have to take into consideration just the bowling alleys then you will need a minimum of 86’-6” in length. If you are going for two lanes then you will need 11’-6” in width. If you prefer, you can also add aisles on either side of the lanes. In case you are planning to install the bowling alleys in the basement, make sure that the ceiling height is at least 10’ because you will need to install the display equipment over the lanes, moreover, if the ceiling height is too low it will affect the visual appeal of the entire space. When you contact an experienced bowling alley manufacturer, they will give you all the specifications and the minimum space requirements for the entire setup.

It is not enough that you have the required money and the space for the installation of your bowling alley, you need entrances that are wide enough to get the bowling equipment into the installation area. It is therefore important to check with your bowling company on the requirements on the provisions required for the installation. All these are just the groundwork required for the installation. You cannot however put the cart before the horse; you will need to ensure that you spend adequate time to have these basic factors addressed first.

You should work only with an experienced bowling company. The bowling alleys should be installed professionally and the best equipment should be used so that you do not run into frequent maintenance issues and repair work.

Joint-Venture Bowling Solution - US Bowling

Amusement management systems firm Ideal Software Systems and bowling centre designer and distributor US Bowling Corporation have joined forces.

The aim is to offer the bowling industry Ideal's state-of-the-art business management system that runs an entire facility while integrating with the scoring system.

“We created US Bowling to offer bowling proprietors an independent solution to their capital equipment needs," said Dave Frewing, president of US Bowling.

“Through this partnership with Ideal, US Bowling can now provide the industry with a turnkey system that addresses all of their business management needs from a single vendor."

For two decades, US Bowling has provided the bowling industry with modernisation programmes, new facility construction and a single source of equipment to run bowling centres’ increasingly diversified attractions and profit centres.

“Like Ideal, US Bowling has made a strong, positive impact on its industry by thinking differently,” said David Goldman, founder and president of Ideal Software Systems, which has provided business management systems since 1983.

“Previously, bowling centres were forced to source multiple systems from several suppliers and then try to make them work together," said Goldman.

“Ideal offers a single, native system that simplifies operations by integrating with scoring systems and providing one log-in, one common set of reports, one customer database and one cash drawer for a bowling facility's profit centres.”

Ideal Software's NSite is the only point of sale system that fully integrates all profit centres in an FEC, from party management to cashless and redemption to a complete food and beverage system. Ideal also provides cloud-based solutions and mobile services that allow customers to add and redeem value at an FEC from a smart phone.
