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

The core toolbox is free for everyone on the Starter plan. Where a feature belongs to Growth or Scale, we say so below — and it's always a flat monthly rate, never a per-booking fee, never a commission.
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 (Growth plan)
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 (Growth plan). School / camp / church groups on purchase orders (Scale plan).
Membership punch cards (Growth plan)
10-jump passes, monthly unlimited, family memberships. TripStub tracks redemptions against the pass; gate scanner just works.
Push inventory once. Let availability fan out to the channel managers and OTAs your travelers already use. Channel-manager distribution is a flat-rate Growth module — no plan takes a per-booking cut.

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