The Bill Bolton Arena is a popular ice rink facility located in the city of Toronto, Canada. As a popular destination for skating enthusiasts, the arena offers a wide range of services to its customers, including ice rink rentals, skating lessons, and events. In addition to these services, the arena also features a snack bar, providing a convenient place for visitors to grab a quick bite to eat or a refreshing drink.

Recently, the arena management team identified a need to upgrade their scheduling system from a traditional whiteboard schedule to a more advanced digital signage solution. The goal was to provide a more efficient and streamlined way of displaying schedules and displaying promotions. They wanted a system that could be accessed and managed online, making it easier for both staff and customers to keep track of available ice rink times, book rentals, and events.

To address this need, the management team decided to implement a digital signage solution that would display real-time schedules and updates. The new system not only eliminates the need for manual updates and erasing of the whiteboard, but it also offers a more interactive and engaging experience for visitors, providing them with a visual representation of the ice rink schedules and availability.

With the new digital signage system, provides your staff with a user-friendly interface for managing bookings and making updates to the schedules in real-time.

Overall, the implementation of this digital signage solution has helped to improve the efficiency and convenience of the scheduling process at the Bill Bolton Arena, providing a better experience for both staff and visitors alike.

Bill Bolton Arena, like many other sports and recreational facilities, faced a number of challenges in managing their snack bar menu and ice pad schedules. With a large number of visitors coming through the arena every day, it was difficult to keep track of the constantly changing schedules and keep them updated on a regular basis. Additionally, the snack bar menu, which was displayed using a basic printed menu, was outdated and unappealing to customers.

These challenges were further compounded by the fact that the arena was undergoing a renovation at the time, which presented an opportunity to update their systems and make them more efficient. This was when a digital signage solution was proposed as a complete solution to address the challenges they were facing.

By implementing a digital signage system for the snack bar, the arena was able to create an engaging and interactive experience for customers. The new system allowed for dynamic content that could be easily updated and changed as needed, providing visitors with real-time information on menu items, prices, and specials. This not only helped to improve the customer experience but also helped to increase sales for the snack bar.

For the ice pad schedules, the traditional whiteboard system was replaced with a digital signage solution that displayed schedules in real-time, making it easier for staff and visitors to keep track of available ice rink times, book rentals, and register for events. This eliminated the need for manual updates and provided a more efficient and streamlined process for managing schedules.

Overall, the implementation of a digital signage solution provided a complete solution to the challenges that the Bill Bolton Arena was facing, improving the customer experience and making operations more efficient.
