Built for the way a venue actually runs.

GridMagik replaces the four tools you stitch together every Saturday — booking site, POS, waivers, and a floor board — with one platform that knows about every booking, bay, and guest.

Floor-wide heartbeat

Live status from every bay, lane, or room

Real-time view of what's running where. Stays in sync even when your venue's Wi-Fi has a moment.

Per-resource status

Live ops board

Bay/room/lane map, queue, current session, session timer, incident log. The board your floor manager actually wants on the wall.

QR check-in to guest profile

Customer accounts that drive repeat visits

Profiles, history, packages, gift balances, leaderboards where it makes sense. Guests come back because they have a reason to.

0% commission · SpeedPay

Booking → checkout → on the floor

Branded site with packages, deposits, gift cards, and waivers. The same record carries through to the resource your guest is using.

The Flow

From booking to checkout — one platform, four steps.

Most ops platforms stop at the front desk. GridMagik runs all the way through to the floor and back — so the data you need to operate, market, and grow is already where you need it.

  1. 01

    Book online · land in the door

    Guests pick a session, party, or experience on your branded GridMagik site. Deposits collected, waivers signed, packages assembled — before they get to the door.

  2. 02

    QR check-in · auto-assign

    Walk-ups scan the lobby QR. GridMagik matches the booking, pulls the waiver, queues them for the next open bay, room, or lane, and posts the assignment to the ops board.

  3. 03

    Session runs · live everywhere

    Every session stays in sync across the operator console, the front desk, and the guest's phone. Status, timer, add-ons, incidents — one heartbeat.

  4. 04

    Session ends · re-book triggered

    Guest gets a recap card and a one-tap re-book link. Customer profile, packages, and revenue update automatically.

A day at the venue

What a Saturday looks like on GridMagik.

Doors open

Staff clock in via the GridMagik app. Today's bookings load on the floor board, opening sessions auto-stage, the private-event window is pre-blocked.

First wave

Birthday party of 8 scans the lobby QR. Waivers pull from the booking, deposits already paid, GridMagik drops them on the right bays, rooms, or lanes with a session timer.

13:15
local

Walk-up rush

Front desk runs a walk-up checkout in 30 seconds. SpeedPay handles cards + Apple Pay, the floor board gets the assignment before the guest sits down.

16:02
local

Incident handled

A bay reports an issue. Staff tablet pings, the situation is logged on the booking, and the guest's session is adjusted — no scrambling, no spreadsheet.

19:30
local

Private event

Private-event mode flips on. Reserved areas locked, custom pricing, group communications staged. Comms push to the host's phone in real time.

23:47
local

Close out

Day-end recap: revenue, utilization, top sessions, incident log. Reconciled to SpeedPay deposits and the floor board log. No stitching.

SpeedPay

Payments that reconcile themselves.

SpeedPay is the built-in processor on every GridMagik booking. Sessions, deposits, balance collection, and refunds flow through a single ledger — so you don't reconcile a Stripe dashboard against a POS report at 11pm on Sunday.

  • Payments wired into every session — online, kiosk, or counter
  • Competitive rates · no commission per booking
  • Deposits and balances on one ledger — auto-reconciled
  • Dedicated chargeback + dispute support

Why GridMagik

Generic booking software stops at the front desk. We don't.

Every other platform was built for hair appointments. GridMagik is built for venues where the product is a session, the metric is utilization, and the customer wants a one-tap re-book the moment they walk out. Bookings, payments, packages, and incident handling are first-class — not bolted on.

  • Per-resource scheduling, private-event windows, and recurring programs — built in
  • Bookings, sessions, and incidents reconciled with revenue, automatically
  • Branded customer experience: profile, recap, 1-tap re-book
  • 0% commission · payments and bookings on one ledger
  • Designed for multi-bay, multi-room, multi-location growth

Operators who run on GridMagik

We replaced four tools with GridMagik in a weekend. The live ops board on the wall + the same data on the driver's phone shipped us 18% more re-bookings the first month.

Other booking software wanted 4–5% of revenue. GridMagik just charges for the platform. Lap timing, leagues, leaderboards, payments — all of it. No middlemen.
