CAP Amusement…
Calling All Bar & Restaurant Owners!
CAP Amusement, Inc. The name could mean several things. Many people assume the company deals with amusement parks and kiddie rides. Instead, CAP Amusement provides equipment such as ATMS, dart boards, jukeboxes and pool tables to bars and restaurants in Rochester and Buffalo. CAP does business with small neighborhood pubs all the way to large corporate accounts. The company was formed in 1949 by Carl Arthur Piccarreto who turned it over to his son, CJ, in 1987. Throughout the years this industry has grown steadily with improvements to each game. Jukeboxes nowadays have numerous features which makes them so popular. Patrons can use the myTouchTunes app and play a song right from their seat at the bar. Customers can also take a picture on the machine and immediately upload it to Facebook. Redemption pieces are also a favorite at restaurants. Today customers can play for items like digital
cameras, tablets and iPod shuffles! With all these new developments, the concept remains the same, customers are just looking for a good time when they are out and CAP’s equipment helps them do so. Joining a dart league is a great way to have a fun night out with friends! Soft-tip darting is one of the fastest growing recreational sports. In 2005, CAP started a traveling league that now has over 800 players! Each team has a home bar. Teams travel to different CAP locations throughout out the season. CAP would like to keep the interest alive as veteran players begin retiring. Check it out at www.capdarts.com. CAP Amusement’s goal is to continue to keep up with the changing technologies in order to create an enjoyable atmosphere at bars and restaurants. In doing so it benefits the customers, location owners and CAP all at the same time.
