Grow Revenue
Memberships That Fill Weekday Bays
Recurring revenue with a real ledger, real contracts, and billing that chases itself.
Birdie memberships turn drop-in players into recurring revenue: hour-bank and unlimited tiers, commit-and-save contracts with a terms snapshot, automatic billing on Square or Stripe, and renewal reminders that send themselves. Members book inside their allowance while the plan bills on schedule — no spreadsheets, no chasing.
-
The punch card lives in a notebook.
Hours tracked on paper, balances argued at the desk, and nobody quite sure what the 10-pack guy has left. Recurring revenue deserves a ledger, not a guess.
-
Billing is a monthly chase.
Failed cards, manual invoices, "I’ll pay next visit." The plan was passive income; the reality is you playing collections every first of the month.
-
"What did they actually agree to?"
The member says unlimited weekdays; you remember 8 hours a month. Without a contract record, every dispute is your word against theirs.
Hour banks and unlimited tiers
Build plans the way your market buys: an 8-hour monthly bank, unlimited off-peak, family plans. Members book inside their allowance on the same tee sheet as everyone else, and the balance keeps itself.
- Hour-bank plans with live balances
- Unlimited and off-peak-only tiers
- Members book their own hours online
Contracts with a terms snapshot
Commit-and-save contracts capture the exact terms a member signed — price, length, allowance — as a snapshot at signup. Change your plans later; existing members keep the deal they agreed to, on record.
- Terms snapshot at signup
- Commit lengths with early-out rules
- The deal on file, not in memory
Auto-billing that runs itself
Memberships bill on schedule through your Square or Stripe account. Failed cards retry and notify the member — not you — and renewal reminders go out before the term ends, automatically.
- Scheduled billing on your processor
- Failed-payment retries and member alerts
- Renewal reminders without a to-do list
Member rates across everything
A membership is not just an allowance — it is a price tier. Members see their rate on extra hours, guests, and prime time, everywhere they book, straight off the pricing engine.
- Tier rates from the rate matrix
- Applies online, kiosk, and desk
- Overage hours at member pricing
Common Questions
1 Do unused hours roll over?
Your call, per plan: hours can expire monthly, roll over with a cap, or accumulate. The ledger tracks it either way, and members see their balance when they book.
2 Can members freeze or pause?
Yes — pauses hold the plan and the billing together, so a member out for surgery or a summer away doesn’t have to cancel and lose their rate.
3 What happens when a card fails?
Birdie retries on a schedule and messages the member to update their card — you see the status without doing the chasing. Persistent failures flag the membership instead of silently lapsing it.
4 Can members book prime time?
If your plan allows it. Allowances can be scoped to time blocks — unlimited off-peak with prime at member rates is the classic weekday-filling setup.
