Built for axe throwing & experiential venues operators

Axe throwing & experiential venues — lane-based capacity, coach assignments, and waivers that hold up.

Axe throwing, knife throwing, hatchet bars — lane-based bookings with coach rotation, mandatory waiver capture, and combined food + session pricing. Free platform, no per-lane fee.

We've been there

What axe throwing & experiential venues operators keep telling us.

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.

Lane-based capacity, not seat-based

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.

Waiver is a legal requirement, not a suggestion

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.

Beer + axes is the whole business

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."

What you'll actually use

The axe throwing & experiential venues operator's toolbox.

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).
