Why join Meltdown instead of opening my own gaming bar?
Joining the Meltdown network means being part of a family, with the reassuring support of experts who have overcome the challenges you are about to face; it means benefiting from a strong brand and proven tools; it means saving time spent prospecting for local or national partners, communicating your brand and fixing the simple but costly mistakes that litter the path of any ambitious project. It also means staying up to date, relying on a team that ensures the brand's durability while maintaining a high degree of flexibility on a daily basis. None of these advantages are absolutely necessary to open a gaming bar, but their cumulative benefit, based on sharing, experience and creativity, is an asset that we think is invaluable in order to put all the chances on your side. Plus, everyone thinks we're cool!
