Keep things fresh, do promotions, and keep your staff very customer oriented. If they show they don't care about their customers, the customers won't care about coming back. Arcades are more of a long term investment, and it's always spend-money-to-make-money. The minute an arcade decides it'll look into the smaller picture of making money right away and cut corners with cheaper games and not update their games for a year or two "because people still play it," then that's when people say that arcade sucks.

You just described FFC down to a t.
