NBRC provide independent technical and financial advisory services relating to the inclusion of bowling within leisure, entertainment, and mixed-use facilities.
Bowling Advisory Services
BOWLING ADVISORY SERVICES
NBRC provides independent technical and financial advice regarding the suitability, scale, and configuration of bowling within a facility.
Our role is to assist owners, developers, and operators in evaluating available bowling formats, understanding space and cost implications,
and aligning bowling offerings with target demographics, operational goals, and long-term commercial outcomes.
NBRC does not manufacture or supply bowling equipment. All advice is provided on a vendor-agnostic basis to support informed, objective decision-making.
Pinsetting Systems – Advisory Guidance
PINSETTING SYSTEMS
NBRC provides advisory services relating to the selection, configuration, and integration of pinsetting systems based on the nature of the proposed facility
and the demographics being targeted.
Our experience allows us to guide operators on the suitability of traditional free-fall pinsetting systems typically used in larger, league-oriented venues,
as well as string pin systems commonly utilised in entertainment-focused facilities where bowling operates as one of several attractions.
Advisory considerations include operational reliability, maintenance requirements, staffing implications, lifecycle costs, and alignment with the overall venue concept.
Bowling Lanes – Design & Planning
BOWLING LANES
NBRC provides advisory input into the planning and design of bowling lanes as part of the broader facility layout and customer experience strategy.
This includes guidance on lane configuration, spacing, finishes, integration with venue theming, durability considerations, and long-term operational performance.
Where space constraints apply, NBRC can advise on alternative lane layouts and reduced-length formats that maintain the integrity of the bowling experience
while maximising space efficiency and commercial flexibility.
Scoring & Integrated Technology Systems
SCORING & CENTRE TECHNOLOGY
NBRC provides advisory services relating to integrated scoring and bowling centre technology systems.
This includes evaluation of third-party scoring platforms, user interface functionality, system reliability, and integration with pinsetting systems,
display hardware, and broader centre networks.
NBRC also advises on centre management systems that support operational control, reporting, and integration with POS and venue management platforms.
All technology advice is provided independently, without affiliation to specific manufacturers or suppliers.
