1. Introduction

TouchTunes is the largest in-venue interactive music and entertainment platform, featured in over 71,000 bars and restaurants across North America and Europe. The network supports a growing portfolio of location-based digital solutions that encourage social interactions through shared experiences. The company began in 1998 with the release of the world’s first pay-for-play digital jukebox and since then they have transformed into a multi-application platform offering a variety of engaging and interactive experiences any location can access.

Music is core to the TouchTunes experience and the latest smart jukebox allows the interface to learn from the music most played in a location and adapt over time to highlight the songs, artists and search results that are most relevant.  The mobile app lets users find nearby jukebox locations and control their in-venue music experience from their smartphones.  Since launch, the app has been downloaded over 4.8 million times.  Also available on the jukebox is an integrated photo booth solution and a fully licensed commercial karaoke system.  

TouchTunes is a privately held company, one of only a few able to deliver end-to-end in-venue interactive entertainment solutions, encompassing hardware, software and network operations. TouchTunes is headquartered in New York City, with offices in Chicago, IL, Montreal, Quebec and London, UK.

7. AppendicesAppendix 1 - AR-215-1 (Ch. 8-3)- Amusement/Vending MachinesDescription.

The term “amusement machine” as used in this chapter does not include slot machines, other mechanical, electrical, or electronic machines that enable players to receive monies. This section does not apply to any machines operated by ARMP (see para 8–4). For applicable Randolph-Sheppard criteria, see AR 210–25.

Guidelines Management controls for amusement and vending machine operations focus on

control of access to the machines/cash boxes and cash collection procedures, whether or not contractor owned or serviced. Controlled access and collection applies when the IMWRF receives a share of the revenue or the collection is done only with IMWRF personnel. Where the IMWRF receives a fee per machine, personnel monitor machine locations and track contractor overall revenue and/or units sold. Under no circumstance are cash boxes or merchandise cabinets emptied or serviced without an impartial observer.

Machine malfunctions. Customers are reimbursed from the petty cash fund for losses due to inoperable

machines.

Locking devicesConcessionaire-owned machines will have at least two locks; one to access the

machine and one NAFI-owned lock to access the cash box. The concessionaire may provide another locking device on the cash box so that both a NAFI key and a concessionaire key are required to open it. The following key controls will be written into the concessionaire contract:

(1) Keys are controlled to restrict access to cash boxes and internal control devices.

(2) Keys will remain in the custody of the DCA (or equivalent) or installation key control officer appointed in writing. Keys will be assigned to an impartial observer when required for cash collections or service calls by the concessionaire. The person responsible for key control will maintain an up-to-date key register.

Sales accountabilityAnalysis is made to project amusement and vending machine receipts

.(1) One method is to use counter metering devices on cash collection boxes.

Fund managers require contractors to install coin counters

(2) Another method is to inventory products placed in the machines at sales value. When machines are restocked, the value of the restocked merchandise at sales price is equal to the expected cash receipts. Actual cash collection adjusted for refunds because of malfunctioning machines is compared to expected receipts and any significant variances investigated.

a. Cash collections are made at least once each week, unless sales are anticipated to be less than $50 per machine; for these lower sales, collections may be made twice a month. Collection figures are furnished immediately after collections to the CAO prior to accounting close-out for the month.

b. If additional collections are needed, the DCA determines the frequency based upon:

1. Keeping accumulated receipts to a minimum.2. Anticipated sales.3. Risk factor for loss of receipts.4. Insurance factor.5. Collection costs in personnel and time.6. Interest earned on money deposited.

(3) The garrison commander or representative will appoint an impartial observer to sign for keys and participate in collections. The observer (or the fund representative when collecting cash from NAFI-owned machines) is briefed on procedures and accompanies concessionaire employees collecting cash from concessionaire-owned machines. The fund representative need not accompany the concessionaire and impartial observer when both a NAFI lock and a concessionaire lock are on the coin boxes.

(4) The DCA (or equivalent or delegatee) maintains an inventory of NAFI-owned and concessionaire-owned machines and State-licensed operations (AR 210–25), to include the serial numbers and location of each machine. Records are updated when machines are changed or rotated. Inventories are confirmed by IMWRF personnel on a random, periodic basis. A machine is never removed, rotated, or substituted without approval or before a final cash collection is made. The cash collection team always has a current inventory.

(5) DA Form 4083 (Vending or Amusement Machine Collections) is used to document cash collected in accordance with DOD 7000.14, volume 13.

(6) If the actual cash varies from the meter readings, the concessionaire and NAFI observer check for mechanical malfunction or tampering. If this does not resolve the discrepancy, the disputes provision of the contract governs.

(7) Receipts are divided at the time of collection between the activity representative and the concessionaire, based upon the percentage established in the contract.

a. Machine inventory records are the basis of payment. For example, $X per machine, per month or more frequently, consistent with the collection schedule.

b. Contracts may call for a review of the flat fee amounts as often as reasonable, until the number, type, and location of machines become static. Pro rata payments are authorized for machine changes.

c. Contractor furnished monthly revenue and/or units sold reports or other required documentation are used to make future flat fee adjustments.

d. A 100 percent verification of all machines, types, and locations will be made by NAFI personnel at the beginning, end, or renewal of a contract.
