Flix Brewhouse has deployed GDC’s CMS-3000 web-based central management entertainment software, designed to fully automate the content transfer and monitor real-time playback status, sound processors and digital cinema projectors for all the nine properties from the company’s headquarters in Round Rock, Texas.
Flix Brewhouse was founded in 2011 and now operates nine dine-in cinema concepts across Indiana, Iowa, Oklahoma, New Mexico, Texas, and Wisconsin with a tenth under construction in Mansfield, Texas. Flix is the only first-run movie theatre in the world to incorporate a fully functioning microbrewery.
The cinema chain exhibits blockbuster films while serving fresh food and craft beer brewed in-house. Auditoriums are equipped with state-of-the-art sight and sound technology, super comfortable leather seating, as well as dine-in food and beverage service at every seat. The circuit features the Flix Maximum Experience in select locations: a dynamic, state-of-the-art system offering large format viewing, 360-degree immersive sound technology, ultra-high resolution, next-generation 4K projection, premium extra wide seating and a 60-foot wide, super low distortion, HD parabolic silver screen.
“Flix Brewhouse is a cinema hospitality company committed to providing our guests with the best possible cinema dining experience, said Chance Robertson, CEO of Flix Brewhouse. “We rely on our vendor partners, such as GDC to provide innovative technologies to achieve our vision to be the Gold Standard in the communities we serve. GDC’s central management software was selected for its advanced features to centralize tasks done by the management of each site. By supporting multiple users access simultaneously anytime and anywhere with its web-based application, we have complete control of all nine locations at our headquarters.”
“CMS-3000 was developed from our 20-year knowledge of digital cinema and constantly working with our industry partners, such as Flix Brewhouse,” said Annie Wang, president for GDC Technology USA LLC. “The installation of our web-based enterprise software at their headquarters will provide them with technology to transfer content and monitor devices from a central point, eliminating time and labor spent on tasks normally done by management at the theatre level.”
