Abstract
A system and method for making reservation times for an event at a coverage area. The system includes a kiosk system having an RFID reader, an input device, a network interface, a display and a processor, and a central server having a network interface, a non-volatile memory, and a processor. A guest has an RFID tag read and selects using the input device an event and a reservation time to enter the event from a list of events and reservations shown on the display. The kiosk processor transmits the guest identifier and the event and reservation time information to the central server. The central server accesses the event data object and adds the tag identifier and reservation time to a data field of the event data object. The central server then sends a reservation confirmation back to the kiosk system.
