JOIN A COMPANY WITH A NEW CONCEPT THAT IT POISED FOR GROWTH
what makes us unique?
The 1st sim racing franchise
Shift Arcade is the first dedicated sim racing franchise in the United States, offering an early entry point into a fast-growing entertainment category. With no direct national competitors, franchisees benefit from brand differentiation and strong first-mover advantage. This is a chance to shape a new industry while capitalizing on rising demand for experience-based entertainment.
Software
Unlike other venues that rely on off-the-shelf tools, Shift Arcade runs on DriveOS, our proprietary operating system developed specifically for sim racing operations. It manages reservations, events, memberships, and performance tracking—all in one place. This tight integration reduces labor costs, improves customer experience, and creates operational efficiency at every location.
Apex Club
Our Apex Club membership program turns casual visitors into loyal regulars by offering monthly events, leaderboard challenges, exclusive discounts, and early access to tickets. It’s designed to drive repeat business and deepen customer engagement. For franchisees, it means predictable recurring revenue and a strong, built-in community from day one.
OUR MATCHING PROCESS
how does this work?
We refer to our process as a “matching process” because both parties need to get to know one another over a period of time in order to decide if there’s a “match”. The Shift Arcade model is a fun and exciting opportunity, but it’s not right for everyone nor is everyone right for it. Our matching process is key for a successful, long-term partnership.
Step 1: are we a Match?
We refer to our process as a “matching process” because both parties need to get to know one another over a period of time in order to decide if there’s a “match”. The Shift Arcade model is a fun and exciting opportunity, but it has to be a good fit. This process is key to a successful partnership.
