Our president and CEO, David Goldman, has had a passion for the family entertainment industry since 1976 when his family were FEC owners themselves. David knew that software could be key to running a more profitable operation, but there wasn't anything on the market that fit his vision.
David saw the need for software systems that would enable any business, but especially FEC’s, to operate more efficiently. After graduating from the University of Texas, David returned to his hometown of Meridian, MS and set to work creating the ideal software solution for family entertainment businesses. His work in developing one of the earliest POS systems for FECs was a natural extension of the family business. In 1983, Ideal Software Systems, Inc. was officially launched.
As the industry has grown, so have the software solutions offered by Ideal, as well as the diversity of venues in which they are used.
Today, Ideal Software stands out as the most experienced software company in the family entertainment market. IdealOne systems are in hundreds of businesses across the United States and in many foreign countries. Ideal Software can be found in family entertainment centers, waterparks, restaurants, zoos, retail stores, museums, laser tag facilities, and theme parks, just to name a few.
Ideal Software stands behind each of our products with technical support and assistance around the clock. Our call center is located at our headquarters in Meridian, MS.
