The three Monday-morning headaches we optimize away. If you run a axe throwing & experiential venues business, you've probably had all three this quarter.
A 'lane' holds up to 6 throwers for a 2-hour session. TripStub's resource-pool model treats each lane as a unique asset; groups of 3 share a lane, but double-booking is impossible.
Insurance carriers require signed waivers per participant. TripStub captures signatures on a tablet at check-in, stores PDFs per booking, flags missing waivers to the coach before a session starts.
If your venue serves alcohol, sales per session are 40–60% food & drink. TripStub's add-ons at checkout prime the pump — 'Add a pitcher, $18' — so customers arrive with a tab already started.
"Lane capacity, coach per session, waiver in writing before anyone touches a handle, and upsells to beer + snacks. If a booking platform handles those four, we're good."

Every feature below is in the free plan. No 'enterprise tier' that gates the capability you need once you start growing.
Lane-based resource pools
Each lane is a unique bookable asset with its own capacity, coach assignment, and cleanup/reset buffer between groups.
Coach assignment per session
Roster your coaches, auto-assign them to lanes per session, track hours per coach for payroll. Coaches see only their lanes on their phone.
Waiver capture at check-in
Tablet signature per participant; stored as signed PDF attached to the booking. Dashboard surfaces 'waiver missing' before the coach starts the session.
F&B add-ons + pre-order
Beer, pitchers, snack combos as optional line items with per-session inventory. Food & drink pre-paid at checkout or open a tab on arrival — operator choice.
Private group + corporate bookings
Bachelorette / corporate team-building / birthday. Private-group lane blocks with custom pricing. Quote → accept → invoice for corporate.
Coaching punch cards
'10 sessions with a coach' package. TripStub tracks redemptions, warns when a customer's last session is coming up (upsell opportunity).
Push inventory once. Let availability fan out to the channel managers and OTAs your travelers already use.

Run the numbers on your actual volume. Most operators we talk to save $8k–$35k/year just by skipping the per-booking fee.
