Membership System
under review
Craig Carpenter
I know you all at SBVR are probably tired of reading requests for a membership system and you have confirmed many times that it is on your list of planned features. I thought it would make sense to have a post about it here as well for people to post their suggestions and requests. I'll start with the things that I would love to see in a membership system.
1) A set number of free hours per month (customization to place a limit, like one per day),
2) A discount on the hours they get (either a X% off or just a flat $X amount off),
3) They can pass on a slight discount to their guests when they book multiple stations with others in a group,
4) Possible members only hours that we can plug into our store's hours chart and the booking system knows to only show those times to members,
5) Heavy discounts applied to specific hours during the weekdays, and
6) The ability to save your progress in games that support Steam Cloud Saves or the local games saved on the PC's SSD/HDD. I know this is a very complex system as devs do not have a standard of where their save file data is stored on a PC.

We have given up waiting for SB for this, and as its a mammoth task I suggested to SB they look at working with Tapmango. It is already linked with Square, who are linked with SB, so it should work seamlessly. We have signed with Tapmango to handle the membership and it also handles loyalty amazingly too. Just FYI :)

I'd like to add to my wishlist:
- automated monthly billing when signing up for membership through a widget (like the regular booking system)
- ability to optionally provide different tiers of membership at different prices to receive different benefits
- a quick and easy way to identify members when they walk in the arcade without booking online (e.g. maybe a QR code which we can print onto plastic cards to give to members and then scan with a phone/tablet camera when they arrive)
- custom game profiles, not just for save files, but with usernames to identify themselves in online games, possibly access to exclusive premium games or early access
