Backend software
What's everyone doing for teesheet, memberships, access control, etc.? I looked at birrdi and golf918, and decided to build my own. Looking for pros/cons and what gaps you've found. Thinking about offering my setup as a service after I prove it works and fix any bugs.

We're using Fairwayze for booking and Avigilon Alta for access/security cameras. Avigilon is definitely on the pricier side but our city has specific requirements for us to open 24/7, unstaffed. Couldn't just go w/simply safe or Ring - had to go commercial pro.

Thanks for the response, Josh! Regarding Stripe fees...I was referring to how clubs are handling Stripe fees in general, not for the league. Meaning, how are they handling the fee for their everyday fees. To all club owners, are you simply absorbing the 3% + .30 per transaction fee or are you charging it back to your customer? Do you have a separate fee line in your booking system or adding it to the hourly fee? Regarding the other responses you provided, thanks again, we'll sign up this weekend!

@Marc Fischer Mind sharing prompting for the PC lockout at the end of a session? Also, how does it refresh so that the next customer does not remain locked out?

Equipment Availability
Does anyone offer equipment for use at their studio? I didn't plan to offer clubs or training aids but it has been suggested in my focus group that a set of men's right/left and women's right/left available for use as well as training aids would be beneficial. considering...

Pricing and memberships
We’re not n the struggle bus with deciding on pricing and membership! BLUF: 1200 sq ft space, single bay, unstaffed. We’re setting it up to have a premium experience for the customer and, so far, will not be able to have BYOB. Anyone mind sharing your pricing and membership info?

This is the latest draft of our pricing. We've had several discussions with friends/potential members in the area and the feedback is positive. I beleive we may offer a greater overage discount as the tiers increase but are pretty set on not increasing the guests/session so as to avoid 4 people sharing one membership. Open to feedback and suggestions!

@Joshua Kauck The intent of our birdie membership and it's low monthly cost is to create a low barrier to entry membership options that puts a minimal amount of "skin in the game" for a customer and also a relatively low cost option to maintain during normal outdoor weather season. If this were me, it would make sense to maintain this level of membership when I'm primarily playing outdoors if for no other reason, the poor weather days and for the overage discount. the founders membership "seems" to be popular with our focus group we've been collecting feedback from and we're capping the number of founders at either 20 or 30. The bang for the buck is there for the person that has the ability to purchase.
