Family Entertainment Centers

Family entertainment center software

Four attractions. One Saturday. One number.

Karts, simulators, axe lanes, party rooms and a kitchen on one schedule, one cart and one daily close, instead of three systems that disagree about how the day went.

Why multi-activity venues call us

Every attraction you add is another system that does not know about the others.

You bought a booking tool for the karts. Then a different one for the lanes because the first one could not model them. The POS is a third vendor, parties live in a spreadsheet, and at the end of the night three reports disagree about what you actually took.

Three systems, one venue

  • A guest books karts online and axe lanes by phone
  • The party deposit is in the POS, the balance is in the booking tool
  • A waiver signed for one attraction is unknown to the other
  • Gift cards work at the till but not online
  • Nobody can answer “what did Saturday actually make?” without a spreadsheet
  • Every new attraction means another vendor evaluation

One platform

  • Every attraction is a bookable resource with its own rules, capacity and pricing
  • One cart takes the karts, the lanes, the room and the pizza in a single payment
  • One waiver, checked before checkout, valid across the venue
  • Gift cards, credits and memberships redeem everywhere
  • One immutable daily close and one QuickBooks journal
  • A new attraction is a resource type, not a procurement project
The resource model

We did not hard-code your attractions. You define them.

A bookable unit is anything the schedule allocates to a guest: a lane, a bay, a court, a room, a table, a kart, a rig. You create the type, set its capacity, eligibility rules, pricing, turnaround time and dependencies, and the same availability engine answers for all of it.

  • Axe throwing, trampolines, climbing, escape rooms, mini golf, bowling lanes, batting cages, VR, if you can put it on a schedule, it is a resource type.
  • General admission is capacity, not a unit. An open-jump session sells against a headcount cap, and adding two hundred guests a day costs you nothing more in software.
  • Turnaround is scheduled, not hoped for. Clean-down, reset and cool-off time is part of the resource, so the next booking cannot start before the room is ready.
  • Dependencies are modeled. A party that needs a room, six lanes and a host resolves as one booking, and fails cleanly if any part of it is unavailable, rather than half-booking.
  • Eligibility is enforced server-side. Age, height, weight and waiver rules per attraction, checked at booking, so the eight-year-old is not turned away at the lane after you took the money.

Parties & groups

The highest-margin thing you sell, run properly.

Venues that run parties see materially better repeat visitation than those that do not, and parties are usually the part of the business held together with a spreadsheet, a deposit taken over the phone and somebody shouting across the floor about who is next.

Packages

Included guests, then a per-head price

A package carries base, peak, off-peak and member pricing, included capacity with a per-person price above it, bounded durations and minimum and maximum guest counts, not one price field and a note in the calendar.

On the day

Every guest knows where to be next

A live activity guide on each guest’s phone tells them their next attraction and time. Per-participant tracking means the host is not counting heads to work out who has already thrown.

The bit they remember

Awards and certificates, generated

Group events produce awards, automatically or curated by your host, and printable certificates. It costs you nothing and it is the thing that ends up on the fridge.

Before they arrive

Waivers done in the parking lot

Group invites send every guest their own link for details and waivers, so fourteen kids do not arrive with two signed forms and a queue behind them.

Minors

Guardians manage their own children

A parent keeps their children’s details and consents in their own account, reusable next visit. Guardian consent and claim flows are built into the platform, not bolted onto racing.

Corporate

Inquiry to booking, tracked

A corporate inquiry from any channel becomes an opportunity with a stage and a close date, on the same record as everything that company has booked before, instead of a starred email.

Food & beverage

The kitchen is not a separate business.

Every minute a guest is in the building and not on an attraction is a minute you can monetize, if the tab and the booking are the same transaction.

  • Quick tabs and table tabs, modifiers, comps, voids with reasons, split-tender close, split and combine tabs, auto-gratuity.
  • A kitchen display with zones, and QR ordering at the table with no app for the guest to install.
  • Table reservations that share the same engine as the attractions, and are included, not counted as billable units.
  • Tax that behaves: five jurisdiction levels and seven tax types with compounding and effective dating, so amusement tax on a session and meals tax on a burger are not the same rule.
  • Booking credits: a package that includes $15 of food actually spends $15 of food, tracked properly.
Where we stop, plainly: we produce print-ready data and a screen-based kitchen display, but we do not drive hardware receipt or kitchen printers, a cash drawer, an X-report or a blind count. Daily close with drawer over and short is real. If a printed ticket rail is non-negotiable for your kitchen, ask us about it early.

Straight answers

What multi-activity operators ask us first.

We run axe throwing and trampolines, not racing. Is this really for us?

Yes for the operation, and we will be precise about the edges. Your attractions are bookable resources you define, and waivers, minor handling, guardian consent, parties, packages, group events and food are all built for any venue rather than adapted from racing. What is racing-specific is the timing and race-control layer, you simply do not license it. The one thing that genuinely does not carry across is our achievements-and-leaderboards engine, which is driven by lap times; better to read it here than discover it in month two.

How are we charged if we have a lot of attractions?

The platform is $579 a month and includes four bookable units; additional units are $28 each. General-admission capacity is not a unit, and neither are F&B tables, those sit inside the food and beverage pack. So a venue with eight axe lanes, five party rooms and a kitchen is about $1,090, and adding two hundred open-jump guests a day changes nothing. The full rate card is published.

Can guests book several attractions in one go?

Yes: a multi-activity cart takes karts, lanes, a room and food in a single checkout and a single payment, with each item holding its own inventory while the guest finishes. If any part is unavailable the booking fails cleanly rather than half-committing.

What about our point of sale, do we keep it?

You can, but you lose the reason to be here. The value is that the booking, the party package, the bar tab, the retail sale and the gift card are one basket, one ledger and one daily close. Running a separate POS puts the reconciliation problem back.

We have three locations.

Two or three work well, each site has its own inventory, staff, pricing and reporting and you switch between them. What we do not have yet is one screen that rolls every location into a single figure, so if group-level consolidated reporting is your main requirement, so we are telling you now.

Can we add karts or simulators later?

Yes, and that is the point of buying a platform rather than a booking tool. Capabilities are licensed modules, add the karting or sim racing pack when you need it and the platform provisions its screens and pages for you, on the same customer records you already have. Karting · Sim racing.
