Simulator studios & indoor bays
Who books the 10 p.m. bay?
The member who just got the kids down. The shift worker warming up for Saturday's league. The regular who'll buy another hour bank if booking takes thirty seconds. They're your best customers — and they'll only show up if the bay is prepaid, the door opens itself, and nobody has to be there. That's the shift Swift makes possible: booking, payment, waivers and door access as one system.
A personalized walkthrough on your bays, hours and doors.

Every bay's status is the booking system: paid, scheduled, doors tied to the window, sim power scheduled. Nothing on this board requires a person at a desk.
The leak
Golf's no-show problem, measured
Empty bays aren't a vibe. They're arithmetic.
An analysis of 5,383 golf lessons found cancellations running 16.3% — and of those, 42.6% arrived with less than 24 hours' notice, when the hour is nearly impossible to resell. Studios handle this with prepaid bay bookings and reminder automation, not with sterner signs at the desk.
of golf lessons get cancelled outright. Unpaid bookings invite this; prepaid bookings end it.
of those cancellations land inside a day — exactly the window where an instant re-list saves the hour.
Swift's reminder texts and emails go out automatically the day before, when players can still rebook instead of ghost.
A cancellation releases the bay to the waitlist instantly — the 10 p.m. slot gets sold twice, not zero times.
The mechanism
Selling hours nobody has to staff
Booked and paid in one motion
Bay time, lessons and leagues book online in under a minute — payment, waiver and confirmation in the same flow. If it isn't paid, it isn't held.
Reminded a day early
Confirmation at booking, text and email 24 hours out. Players reschedule instead of disappearing; you stop playing collection agency.
Doors tied to the booking
Access control — a newer Swift feature — unlocks the entrance for whoever booked, only for the block they booked. Frost-delay mornings and late sessions sell themselves.
Cancellations refill themselves
A released bay goes straight back on the live online schedule. The hour sells twice before it ever goes dark.
Hour banks that track themselves
More than 75% of simulator venues sell memberships (NGF). The ones that keep them use hour banks that draw down automatically — no clipboards, no "how many hours do I have left?" texts.
Proof
What running on Swift looks like
"We're doing $5k/annually more in membership revenue, just because of how easy it's been to book and pay."
"Instead of spending about 2-3 hours a day [on bookings], we are down to about 30-60 minutes."

Questions
What studio owners ask
How does door access actually work?
Swift's access control connects your door hardware to the booking: the member who booked the block gets in during that window only. It's a newer feature, and the demo can show it end to end on your setup.
Can bay bookings require prepayment?
Yes — and that's the default posture we recommend. Payment, waiver and confirmation complete together; unpaid holds are what create the no-show economy.
Can memberships include bay hours that roll over?
Memberships and prepaid hour banks draw down per booking and renew on schedule. Exactly how rollover works for your plans is a configuration question your onboarding specialist sets up with you.
What if a member's card fails?
Past-due membership payments are tracked and can be processed in one place — not discovered in a bank statement three weeks later.
We also run lessons with a PGA pro. Does that fit?
Yes — pro calendars, private lessons, clinics and commission payroll all run on the same schedule as bay rentals.
What does it cost?
Pricing is set per facility in the demo. Fixed for everyone: $0 setup, month-to-month, free support on every plan, 30-day money-back guarantee.
