Built for family entertainment centers operators

Family entertainment centers — trampoline parks, laser tag, arcades — without the ROLLER subscription.

Time-block bookings, add-on ecosystems (socks, food, arcade credits), waiver capture, birthday-party quoting, and offline-first gate scanning — on a free platform.

We've been there

What family entertainment centers operators keep telling us.

The three Monday-morning headaches we optimize away. If you run a family entertainment centers business, you've probably had all three this quarter.

Time-block pricing, not per-seat

A 60-minute jumping slot is the product, not each jumper. TripStub's time-block pricing with per-block capacity + per-jumper pricing is a single product, not a Frankenstein workaround.

Birthday parties are the margin engine

Parties are 60% of revenue for most FECs. TripStub's party-quote flow lets you build a custom package (time + food + party host + goody bags) and send a one-click-accept quote in under 5 minutes.

Waivers can't be lost

Every jumper signs before entry, legally. TripStub captures the digital waiver at checkout, stores a signed PDF per booking, and surfaces it to the gate scanner — no waiver, no entry, no manual tracking.

"Time-block pricing ('60 min jumps', '90 min + pizza'), add-on bundles without rebuilding the product each time, birthday parties quoted in under 5 minutes, and waivers that don't get lost. FEC operations in four bullet points."

What you'll actually use

The family entertainment centers operator's toolbox.

Every feature below is in the free plan. No 'enterprise tier' that gates the capability you need once you start growing.

Time-block products

60-min, 90-min, 120-min — each a product with its own price, capacity per block, and add-on eligibility.

Add-on ecosystem

Socks ($3), pizza ($18), arcade credits ($10), party host ($80/h) — optional line items at checkout with inventory tracking per session.

Birthday-party quoting

Custom party package in 5 minutes. Quote link emailed. One-click accept by the parent, deposit pre-auth, balance on the day. Party host assigned automatically.

Digital waiver capture

Tablet signature at kiosk or checkout. PDF stored per booking. Gate scanner surfaces 'waiver: ok' or 'waiver: missing' per visitor.

Group bookings + bulk-discount pricing

Groups of 10+ auto-discount. Corporate events get net-30 invoicing. School / camp / church groups on purchase orders.

Membership punch cards

10-jump passes, monthly unlimited, family memberships. TripStub tracks redemptions against the pass; gate scanner just works.

Distribution

The channels family entertainment centers operators actually book on.

Push inventory once. Let availability fan out to the channel managers and OTAs your travelers already use.

Friday birthday-party blitz

FEC operators we talk to spend 3+ hours Friday mornings on party logistics (host assignments, food orders, waivers). TripStub's party-day dashboard collapses the whole stack into one screen: today's parties, assigned hosts, food order aggregate, waiver status per guest, deposits taken. Fridays become 20 minutes.

The math

What family entertainment centers operators save.

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

Here's the honest math for a small operator running 100 bookings / month at $80 avg.
