Open bowl, league night, cosmic, party room — every lane, every Saturday.
Bowlers leave with the perfect game, the league standing, and the inside joke from cosmic night — pinned to their IOX passport. You run the lane grid, the USBC-style league engine, the cosmic-mode lighting plan, the kitchen-to-lane orders, and the score-capture flow that lets standings update without manual re-entry.
Purpose-built for bowling.
Everything you need to run bowling — booking, payments, ops, and the social layer that compounds into a passport for every customer.
Lane Control Dashboard
Visual lane grid with real-time status — open bowl, reserved, league play, cosmic mode, or maintenance — drag-and-drop lane swaps when a pinsetter goes down, automatic lane rotation for busy Saturday nights, and a place to log oil-pattern changes between sessions.
League & Tournament Engine
Full USBC-style league management with team rosters, weekly matchups, automatic handicap calculation based on rolling averages, position rounds, playoff seeding, and printable standing sheets — plus single and double elimination tournament brackets with bye-round handling.
Smart Scheduling
Automated lane allocation across open bowl hours, reserved party blocks, league nights, and cosmic bowling windows — with configurable lane counts per mode, automatic transition buffers for lane conditioning, and blackout periods for private events.
Score Capture & League Sync
Front-desk score entry, league-night batch import, and per-bowler average tracking that flows straight into standings, high-game leaderboards, and the IOX passport — with hooks reserved for direct scoring-system feeds as Founder centers ask for them.
Lane-Side Food & Beverage
Guests order from their lane via QR code or the front desk — orders route to the kitchen display system with lane number and seat, tab management handles split checks and group billing, and servers get delivery alerts when food is ready for the right lane.
Online Booking & Payments
Stripe-powered online reservations with hourly pricing, shoe rental pre-selection, group size entry, and prepay or deposit options — plus gift card sales, membership billing, and promo codes for slow weeknight fills.
What sets it apart.
The features built specifically for bowling — the kind of operator-specific tooling generic SaaS can’t match.
Cosmic & Glow Bowling
Schedule cosmic bowling windows with automated lighting cues, UV blacklight activation, music playlist management, fog machine triggers, and premium pricing that kicks in automatically — manage the transition from league night to party mode without touching a light switch.
Shoe & Equipment Tracking
Barcode-based shoe checkout by size with return scanning, automatic inventory alerts when popular sizes run low, ball weight and rental gear tracking, and a lost-and-found log tied to the lane and time slot for easy customer matching.
Party & Event Packages
Birthday packages with lane reservations, shoe rentals, food platters, cake service, decorations, and party host assignments — corporate events get meeting room add-ons, team-building scoring modes, and branded certificates for the winning team.
Real venues. Real bookings. Real customer passports.
Every tenant below runs their entire operation on IOX Lane today — tickets, ops, customer profiles, and the cross-spoke IOX passport their guests carry between venues. Their logo is the exact one their customers see at checkout.
FounderA neighborhood bowling center running open bowl, cosmic nights, USBC-style leagues, birthday parties, and lane-side kitchen orders all through IOX Lane. League standings and personal averages flow straight back onto every bowler's passport.
No monthly fees. No setup costs. The whole platform.
You don’t pay us. IOX Lane is free for the venue. A 6% service fee paid by your customer at checkout funds the entire platform. You keep 100% of your ticket price. Every feature ships out of the box — no premium tiers, no gated upgrades. Funds settle directly to your Stripe account.
The first operator on each spoke gets 5% instead of 6% — forever, by invitation. Standard plan is 6%. See operator details.
Cross-platform identity
Customers use one IOX account across every spoke. No duplicate signups, no lost booking history. The day you go live on IOX, every existing IOX Adventurer in your area is already reachable.
Unified analytics
Bookings, revenue, customer retention, and per-experience performance — every dashboard you need in one place. Export to CSV, JSON, or PDF whenever you want a copy.
Production-grade security
PCI-compliant payments through Stripe, encrypted at rest and in transit, tenant-scoped row-level security in Postgres, and MFA on staff access to production. Security documentation available on request — happy to walk through it.
