Access is the till. If memberships, ten-visit cards and day passes do not pass through the same turnstile, nobody counts correctly at month end.
The waiver is an administrative task. Signed online and attached to the account, it stops being a folder on the counter that nobody searches.
The belay certificate has to hang off the account. Who may only boulder and who may tie in gets decided by the system at the door, not by a staff memory at six in the evening.
A course is a product with places. Waiting list, minimum numbers and cancellation at three sign-ups belong to the same booking as the payment.
Ending a membership is a process, not an argument. Notice, suspension for injury and return defined in advance remove half the awkward conversations.
Route setting is running the business, not a weekend pastime. The date a sector was last stripped and reset explains the following weeks' footfall better than any campaign.
