Smooth’s New Listen System

With a taste for fine cuisine and a love of the game – baseball, hoops, football, rugby and more – the restaurant’s owner stepped solidly into the 21st century, installing 27 plasma televisions – 26 50-inch, and one 65-inch – along with six 8-foot projectors. They also have two cases of Listen personal wireless audio receivers that enable patrons to tune in to their favorite color commentary and instant replays while enjoying the catch of the day.

According to Banquet Manager, Robyn Joyce, there are always multiple games and multiple stations tuned in. With the Listen solution, what could have been a cacophony of sounds is simply the muted hustle bustle of any busy restaurant.

The system, designed by Listen dealer A-Vidd Electronics, has proved a great move for the establishment. The earpieces are widely used (by request) and have become a great selling point. They are wildly popular though Smooth’s does not advertise them at all. “It’s all word of mouth,” says Joyce.

Offering something for each segment of their market, Smooth’s is a little bit fine dining, a little bit sports bar and grille, with an undefeated record for foodies and sports fans alike, thanks to adding Listen Technologies to the team.
