Family Entertainment Centers

# When bowling anchors the visit but isn't the whole business.

Your booking system handles lanes. Your business is bigger than lanes.

The situation

The industry moved toward multi-attraction venues because the economics reward it. Bowling anchors the visit, food and beverage carries the margin, arcade and other attractions extend the stay. At a healthy center, food and beverage is often a larger share of revenue than the lanes.

That makes your problem different from a traditional house. You are coordinating a group's whole visit, usually through a package that bundles lane time with food and something else.

## What actually causes problems

-   Packages bundling lane time with food, where the kitchen finds out when the group arrives
-   Head count drifting between booking and arrival, after you have already staffed and catered
-   Arcade and cashless card revenue living in a system that does not talk to bookings
-   Corporate buyers who need a quote and an invoice, meeting a booking system that only knows how to charge a card
-   No single view of revenue per lane hour across attractions

## What we do about it

-   Package pricing that bundles lane time with add-ons at a per-head or per-lane rate
-   Deposits on group bookings without charging in full
-   Head count confirmation ahead of the date, so you are not catering for twelve when nine arrive
-   POS integration so bookings and spend reconcile in one place
-   Webhooks, so whatever else you run can be wired in

Is this a fit

We are a booking and center management layer. We do not replace your scoring system, your arcade card platform, or your kitchen display. We sit alongside them.
