Who it’s for

The platform should fit the place.

Experience venues differ, but the operating pattern repeats: regulars worth knowing, a day that runs on several systems, and someone close enough to act. The venue type changes the surfaces Wayside builds. The shape underneath stays.

Start with your kind of place

Six kinds of property. One patron record underneath.

Each page walks a normal day on that kind of property: where the records split, the person who crosses them, and the first connection worth testing. Most places are two or three of these at once; start with the one that runs your day.

  1. A family mid-round on an outdoor mini golf hole, with a snack counter and patio tables behind them 01

    Mini golf & putting courses

    Connect rounds, food and drink, events, memberships, and repeat visits.

    • Arrival

  2. A returning guest being welcomed at an independent bouldering and social club 02

  6. Two or three of these at once

    A course with a range and a bar. A spa with desks and a coffee bar. A brewery with leagues. One patron record under all of it.

Most places are combinations

The category is the door. The property is the point.

The pages above are sorted by what runs the day, but the venues Wayside is built for rarely fit one box. A course adds a range. A spa adds desks and a coffee bar. A brewery adds leagues. Every added surface is another system that meets the same person and forgets them. Wayside is the record underneath all of them.

  1. 01

    A putting course with a range and a bar

    LIVE · THE ACRES
    • Putting
    • Driving range
    • Bar + kitchen
    • Parties + events
    • Memberships

    The Acres. A family plays a round, a regular hits a bucket, both close a tab, and a birthday books the pavilion. Live at one venue on one patron record.

  2. 02

    A wellness studio with coworking and a coffee shop

    • Appointments
    • Day passes + desks
    • Coffee
    • Membership

    The member who books a treatment on Tuesday works from the same building on Thursday and buys coffee both days. Three systems today; one guest.

  3. 03

    A brewery with sand volleyball leagues

    • Taproom
    • Leagues
    • Court rentals
    • Private events

    League night fills the courts and the taproom at once. The POS knows the tab, the league app knows the roster, and neither knows the captain who books the holiday party.

Is this for my place?

Wayside is a fit when the money arrives before the guest does.

A golf club with a range and a banquet room. A marina with slips, fuel, and a ship store. A winery with a tasting room and a wine club. If roughly a third or more of your year gets committed weeks ahead, that money already lives outside your register, and nobody is connecting it. Twenty minutes will tell you either way.

A FIT WHEN 5 SIGNALS

  1. 01Money arrives before the guest does

    Deposits, memberships, season passes, outings, event contracts. A register is built for the second the card taps. These get committed weeks ahead, and when they are roughly a third or more of your year, they are where the year actually gets set.

  2. 02More than one thing happens on the property

    Activities, food and drink, events, memberships. Each one runs its own system and none of them knows the others exist.

  3. 03The same names keep showing up

    Members, league players, the family with a Friday habit, the couple who booked the barn last June. You know they repeat. Nothing on the property can prove it.

  4. 04The systems that run the day should stay

    You trust your POS, your booking tool, your waiver flow. We connect them. Ripping them out is somebody else’s business model.

  5. 05The property keeps adding surfaces

    A range beside the course. Bays beside the range. A patio beside the bays. Every new thing you build arrives with its own system, and now there are six.

WORTH KNOWING BEFORE THE CALL

  1. The register is the whole business

    If nearly everything you sell is bought at the counter in the moment, there is very little sitting outside it for us to connect. Worth another look the season you launch memberships or start taking deposits.

  2. Built for properties doing $1M a year and up

    Below about $500K, Wayside rarely pays for itself, and we would rather tell you that on the page than on a call.

  3. Wayside is not a POS or a booking engine

    It sits above the register and the calendar and connects to the ones you run. If you are choosing new ones, we help you choose ones that connect.

  4. More than one location? Bring it

    We map one property first, prove the first handoff there, then connect the next location to the same patron record.

Fewer than three of the signals sound like you? Say so on the call and we will point you somewhere better in ten minutes. We would rather be useful than booked.

Who holds the day

For the person responsible for the day.

A hands-on owner and a GM with a full team need different views of the same record. The registry doesn’t change; who reads it, and when, does.

Owner-led venue

See the whole day without another spreadsheet.

Bring visits, purchases, memberships, and upcoming arrivals into one useful view.

Spot what needs attention and what can wait.

See it in the product

GM-led venue

Give the team useful context before the guest asks.

Put recent visits, access, renewals, and relevant history where the GM and floor team can use them.

The GM keeps the judgment. Wayside brings the history.
