Food, Drinks and Media Combine to Create Unique Restaurant Concept

LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)--uWink, Inc. (OTCBB:UWNK), a publicly-held digital entertainment company, today announced that the first uWink restaurant will open Monday, October 16th, in Woodland Hills, California. uWink is an entirely new restaurant concept that combines food, drinks, and media -- inviting guests to eat, drink and engage at the same time, from their tables via touch screens.

“uWink is not just a new restaurant, it’s a new type of dining experience. Our innovative combination of food, drink and digital media offers customers a fun new way to connect with family, friends and even other customers if they want”

The 5,400 square-foot restaurant is located above Maggiano’s Little Italy on the north side of Woodland Hills’ Westfield Promenade, just off Topanga Canyon Blvd. and Highway 101. Guests can enjoy the relaxed modern ambience with a dynamic projected interior. Hours of operation are 11:00 a.m. to midnight, Sunday through Thursday, and 11:00 a.m. to 2 a.m., Friday and Saturday.

The latest innovation from Nolan Bushnell, the founder and former CEO of Atari, Inc. and the Chuck E. Cheese restaurant chain -- now CEC Entertainment, Inc. (NYSE:CEC), uWink is designed to offer new entertainment options (including games, movie trailers, horoscopes, and other media) for its customers. Guests order food, drinks and media directly via touch screen terminals at their tables while uWink runners deliver guests’ selections quickly and accurately. Guests can participate in the entire uWink experience as a single table, engage other tables, or eventually interact with guests and tables at other uWink restaurants.

“uWink is not just a new restaurant, it’s a new type of dining experience. Our innovative combination of food, drink and digital media offers customers a fun new way to connect with family, friends and even other customers if they want,” said Mr. Bushnell, chief executive officer at uWink, Inc. “From our relaxed hip décor to our delicious fresh food to our dynamic and diverse types of media, we have crafted each detail of uWink with the specific purpose of providing a unique, entertaining and unforgettable dining experience.”

Guests looking for a little heartier fare can choose among such dishes as Spicy Thai Pasta, Pan Seared Salmon, Korean Skirt Steak or guests can choose to build their own burger. uWink also offers a full bar with an extensive selection of wines and beers along with numerous specialty drinks.
