Club software, built inside a club

The tools a padel club needs to run full.

Seven things we built for our own three-court club because nothing on the market did them well or cheaply: a dashboard that tells the owners the truth every morning, leagues that run themselves, staff clock-in that becomes payroll on its own, court replay without the monthly bill, a loyalty scheme that runs itself (points off the bookings, coffee and balls cards checked against the till), the accounts and VAT return assembled from the same feeds, and a booking page in your own look that shows every free court live. Installed at yours, in your club's brand.

One tap to the checkout.
01 · Operating dashboard

One page that answers "how are we actually doing?"

Playtomic, the till, the bank and payroll pulled together overnight, so the owners open one page over coffee instead of four apps and a spreadsheet. Built for people who own a club, not for accountants.

01
Plugs into what you already usePlaytomic bookings and payments, the Revolut till and payment links, Stripe, the Revolut Business bank feed and your payroll, reconciled nightly. Played vs collected shown side by side so timing differences stop looking like problems. Other booking systems and banks on request.
02
Occupancy that means somethingPeak and off-peak court-hours sold against capacity, per day of the week, so you see the empty Tuesday mornings as money, not a percentage.
03
Cash and the investor viewMonth-end cash bridge, shareholder split, and a forecast with bear, base and bull cases fitted to your own seasonality. An investor edition hides the day-to-day detail.
04
A morning email, not a loginYesterday's take, the week so far, what is booked today and what is missing. Read on a phone before the club opens.

02 · League hosting

Leagues that run themselves, and members who come back.

Public standings, fixtures and rules on the club's own domain. Players enter their own scores, opponents confirm with a tap, and fixtures are matched to real court bookings. The office never touches a result.

01
Box leagues or a season leagueBoxes with promotion and relegation on a rolling cycle, or a summer league into tier knockouts. No app to install, nothing to download.
02
Results the club never chasesEither team enters the score; the other gets one email and confirms with a tap. Disagreements are flagged to a named person, never argued with by software.
03
Tied to the booking systemReads the club's bookings and works out which fixture each one is from the players named on it. Games played with no score get chased automatically.
04
Stand-ins and ratingsPlayers outside the league put their name down as a stand-in. Teams a player short pick one at their level and the league does the introduction.

03 · Clock-in & payroll

Staff tap in at the desk. Payroll is done by Friday.

A tablet at the front desk with a PIN per person. Clock in, clock out, count the float, log the coaching session. Every Friday the week's hours land in the payroll system's own import format, with anything odd flagged before anyone is paid.

01
Clock in and out, by PINNo app, no login. Staff tap their name and PIN on the desk tablet. Locked to the club's location so it cannot be done from the car.
02
Payroll that writes itselfShifts become hours, hours become the payroll import - BrightPay today, others on request - emailed to the owners every Friday with short shifts, missing clock-outs and overlaps flagged.
03
Float counts and coaching logsOpening and closing cash counts against what the till says should be there. Coaches log sessions the same way, so coaching pay and the coaching P&L come from one record.
04
Feeds the dashboardWages and coaching hours flow straight into the operating dashboard, so labour cost sits beside revenue for the same day.

04 · Court replay

Press the button. The last 30 seconds are on your phone.

Uses the cameras you already have and the button on the post. A small box at the club keeps a rolling 90 seconds per court, cuts a clip on every press, stamps your club on it, and hands it to the player over a QR code. Clips only exist because someone pressed; nothing else is recorded.

01
Your cameras, your footageAny camera or NVR that speaks RTSP. Nothing leaves the club unless a player shares it. No per-court subscription for software that sits between hardware you own.
02
Branded, shareable, instantEvery clip carries the club's name and the court. One tap to WhatsApp, one tap to save. Players do your marketing for you, in their own groups.
03
Find the clips from your gameThe email on the booking is the login. A player sees every clip pressed during their booking, on their court, and nothing else.

05 · Court points & stamp cards

A point for every minute on court. A stamp for every coffee and tube of balls.

Loyalty with no app, no plastic card and nothing for the desk to key in. Court Points come off the booking system on their own: a point a minute for every player named on a booking, from the day they join on the club's rewards page. Coffee and balls go on stamp cards: the player pays, scans the QR card on the counter, and staff tap Approve on the desk tablet. Every stamp is checked against what the till actually sold, so the free coffee only ever follows paid ones.

01
Court Points, read from the bookingsEvery name on a Playtomic booking earns a point a minute, counted from the day that player opts in. No check-in, no app. Only named players score, so people add their partners when they book; at our own club half of all bookings carried one name before this.
02
A ladder, paid at checkoutPoints only go up. A tube of balls at 1,500, a free court hour at 5,000, or whatever rungs the club sets. Each reward arrives as a Playtomic promo code the player uses at checkout, so nobody at the desk has to remember who is owed what.
03
Coffee and balls cards, by QRBuy 9 coffees, the 10th is free. Buy 4 tubes, the 5th is free. The player scans the card after paying, the request pops up on the desk tablet staff already clock in on, and one tap adds the stamp. A full card is redeemed the same way, and every stamp and free item is logged.
04
Checked against the tillA regular check puts approved stamps beside the coffees and tubes the till actually sold. It flags days where stamps run ahead of sales, stamps on days nothing was sold, and unusual patterns on one card, and lists every free item given. Approvals only work on the club's own network, and a card takes at most three stamps a day.
05
Costed before it startsWe run the club's last three months of bookings through the ladder and show what it would have given away, month by month, so the owners pick the rungs with the bill in front of them. At the default rungs it is about two per cent of court revenue. After launch, redemptions and the sales check arrive in the morning email.
PLAYBook, name your four90 minutes is 90 points for each name on the booking, once they have joined.

06 · Accounts & VAT

The VAT return and the month-end pack, built from feeds you already have.

A padel club sells at three VAT rates from one till: court hire and lessons at one rate, coffee and shop at others, and some lines exempt. Most clubs hand the accountant a bank statement and a shoebox. This takes the booking system, the till and the bank, puts the right rate on every line, matches every outgoing payment to a supplier invoice, and hands the accountant a pack they can file from.

01
Sales by VAT rate, every monthEvery Playtomic payment and every till line is classed by product and given its rate. A three-tab workbook per month: product breakdown, VAT breakdown, and a reconciliation of what was played against what was collected.
02
Purchase invoices matched to the bankSupplier invoices, PDFs and phone photos alike, are read into a register with the VAT on each. Every outgoing bank payment is matched to one, and the ones with no invoice on file are listed, with the supplier to chase.
03
The return, ready to fileVAT on sales less VAT reclaimable, by period, with the exempt and non-reclaimable lines shown rather than guessed at. The accountant gets the pack and the workings, not a question.
04
Stock and margin on the sideThe same invoice register gives stock in, cost price and margin per shop line, so the coffee and the balls are counted in the accounts and not just on the shelf.

Rates shown are the ones our own club uses after advice; your accountant confirms yours once and the system applies them every month after.

07 · Your own booking page

Every free court, live, on your own site and in your own look.

The booking system's embed is a grey grid in someone else's colours, and it often only works on one web address. This reads the club's live availability every minute and shows it the way your site looks: pick a day and a length, tap a time, and the player lands on the checkout for that court, that time, that length. Bookings and payments stay where they are today.

01
Your brand, not theirsFree courts on the club website, the league pages, the desk screen, anywhere you own. Built in your colours and fonts, so it reads as part of your site rather than a frame dropped into it.
02
Live, and right about the timeRefreshed every minute from the booking system. Times shown in local time, with the clock change handled, and slots already past drop off on their own.
03
The money stays where it isEvery time is a link straight to the booking system's own checkout for that court and length. Payment, cancellations, refunds and memberships carry on exactly as they do now.
04
Fills the quiet hoursThe same feed powers a "courts free tonight" line in the morning email and on the club's socials, so the empty slots get seen while they can still be sold.
EVERY MINUTEAvailability readEvery court, every start time, every length, with the price.

On the phone & at the desk

The owner's phone, the desk tablet, and the emails that arrive on their own.

Nothing to install. The owner opens one page on a phone; the desk tablet is a browser tab pinned full-screen that staff clock in on, log coaching on, count the float on and ring up a tube of balls on. Everything else is an email that turns up when it should.

For tennis clubs

Run by a committee, not a company. The same tools, set up for a tennis club.

Most tennis clubs already book courts and manage members on ClubSpark, and we don't replace that. We take the work that still lands on volunteers and staff: the internal leagues and ladders, paying the coaches and bar staff, and getting the books and the VAT right for the AGM. If your club has added padel courts, the padel side runs on the full set from day one.

01
Box leagues and ladders that run themselvesWinter box leagues, ladders and club championships on the club's own site. Members enter and confirm their own scores, promotion and relegation happen on their own, and the captain stops chasing results on WhatsApp.
02
Coaches and bar staff, paid on FridayA PIN clock-in on the clubhouse tablet, coaching sessions logged as they happen, and the payroll file ready for the treasurer every week.
03
Books the treasurer can stand overSubscriptions and court income are usually VAT-exempt for a members' club; the bar and the shop are not. We split them every month and hand over a pack the accountant can file from.
04
Padel courts too?Tennis clubs adding padel get the whole set for the padel side: the morning dashboard, leagues, replay and Court points, running off the padel booking system.

Pricing

Priced per club, not per court, per player or per seat.
