Club and venue management software
Membership, waivers, check-in, the door, bookings and the bill — the parts every club runs the same way, built once and kept running for you. On top sits the part that is yours: the draw, the route book, the ladder.
Why one system
Both sell a membership for a season. Both need a signed waiver before anybody sets foot on the floor, and a guardian's signature if the member is twelve. Both put a roster in front of an office, take money at a desk and online, open a door for people in good standing and not for anybody else, rent the place out on a Saturday, and send the same email to forty people on a Tuesday night.
Then one of them draws a round robin onto six sheets of ice, and the other one strips a wall and sets nine new problems on it. That difference is real — and it is perhaps a tenth of the software.
What every venue shares
Pick your kind of club
Press one. The page takes on that club's colour and its own module — and everything underneath stays exactly where it was. That is how your club's site is built too: your colours, your content, our core.

Sitting on the core every club gets
Running today
Not mockups. Each was built with a real club, on that club's own rates, programmes and season — website, office, members' app, the lot.
What you get
Your website can go live this week on its own. The office console and the members' app come when you are ready for them — they all talk to the same system.
A drop-in replacement for the venue's current site. Plain HTML, CSS and vanilla JavaScript — no Node, no build server, nothing to keep running. One self-contained directory per venue, uploaded to their own domain.
Where the venue actually runs. The desk, the office, the committee. Rosters, approvals, the schedule, the till, the rota, the broadcast — and the vertical's own tooling sitting alongside it.
The members' side. Their next booking, their card, their waiver, their bill. A rotating QR code for the door that works with no signal at all.
One deployment serving every venue on the platform. Tenancy is enforced by Postgres row-level security, not by convention — a missing WHERE clause returns nothing rather than somebody else's members.
Getting started
One file per venue: slug, name, colours, type, contact details, nav, footer. The stylesheet and the site are generated from it.
The platform console creates the venue and its first administrator in one transaction. A venue nobody can sign in to is not a venue anybody can use.
Stripe onboarding is Stripe's, not ours — the venue is paid directly. Doors connect to the Kisi or Brivo account they already have.
One self-contained directory to the venue's own host. Plain HTML. Nothing to keep running, nothing of any other venue in it.
Next
Each one was picked because most of it already exists. A Legion hall is the curling club with the ice taken out; a racquet club is the same club whose sheets are courts.
Dues, the hall diary, bar shifts and who is allowed through the door.
Court sheets, ladders and box leagues.
Ice allocation, skill levels and the association's season.
Questions we get asked
Club and venue management software: one core for members, registration, waivers, check-in, door access, bookings, invoicing, payments and communications, plus a module for what the venue actually does — curling draws, climbing routes, and so on. It ships as a website, an office console, a members' app and an API.
Curling clubs (venueOS Curl, built with the Lindsay Curling Club) and climbing gyms (venueOS Crag) are in production. Legions and social clubs, racquet clubs and rinks are in build; nine further verticals are on the map, ranked by how much of the core already covers them.
No — venueOS replaces it with a plain static site on your own domain, fed by the platform's JSON and iCal feeds. There is nothing to host or keep running, and the design uses your colours and content.
In one Postgres database with row-level security enforcing tenancy, so one venue can never read another's rows. You keep your own domain and your own Stripe account, and every cross-venue read by platform staff is written to an audit log.
A platform fee per venue plus a commission on payments taken online through Stripe Connect. Cash, cheque, e-transfer and card taken at the desk carry no commission. See the pricing page for the current starting position.
Next step
If the answer involves members, waivers, a door and a calendar, most of it is already built. Thirty minutes on a call will tell you which tenth is not.
