Commercial · Autonomous
Unmanned, 24/7 golf simulator operations. No staff. No overhead. Just revenue — around the clock, every day of the year.
How It Works
Autonomous facilities operate without on-site staff. Customers book online, receive access credentials, enter the facility through smart locks, and the simulator powers on automatically. When the session ends, the system shuts down, locks the door, and prepares for the next booking. Every interaction is automated, every transaction is digital, and every minute of operation generates revenue without labor cost.
This is not a concept — we've built and deployed autonomous facilities that operate 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, generating revenue while the owner sleeps. The technology stack handles everything from first booking to final door lock.
Customer reserves a bay and time slot online. Payment captured instantly.
Unique door code delivered via text. Smart lock grants entry at session start.
Simulator auto-starts. Lights, projector, and software ready to go.
Session ends. System shuts down, lights off, door locks. Ready for next booking.
Technology Stack
We’ve partnered with BayOS to bring a purpose-built facility operating system to the indoor golf market — specifically for operators running autonomous or semi-staffed facilities.
Flagship Feature
Handles inbound calls end-to-end. Natural language conversation understands time preferences, duration, and group size. Books sessions directly into the system and sends confirmation SMS with door PIN to the caller. No receptionist needed.
Core Automation
Booking-triggered power control for projectors, PCs, lighting, and HVAC via smart plugs (Kasa, Tapo, Matter). RTSP camera integration, wake-on-LAN, idle auto-shutoff, and schedule-based automation rules. The facility runs itself.
Revenue Engine
Occupancy-based surge pricing, weather and event-based multipliers, time-block overrides, and hot deal slots when bays are empty. Named pricing rules by duration with member vs. standard rates. Max surge caps keep it fair.
24/7 self-serve reservations with real-time bay availability, morning/afternoon/evening sessions, and walk-in PLAY NOW cards. PCI-compliant Square processing with cards on file, damage holds, no-show fees, and refunds.
PIN-based smart lock entry via RemoteLock. Unique codes per booking, time-limited to the session window, with late-arrival grace periods. PIN delivered via SMS instantly on confirmation.
Punch cards, loyalty points, spend-tier upgrades, and paid membership tiers with discounts and priority booking. League management with round robin and single elimination brackets, standings, and gamification achievements.
Real-time bay status, revenue tiles, today’s schedule, and customer management. Revenue charts, bay utilization heatmaps, peak hours analysis, customer acquisition trends, and full audit logging with CSV export.
Incident logging for damage, no-shows, and behavior issues with severity levels and enforcement actions. ID verification, waiver management, card-on-file requirements, and customer blacklisting.
Full OAuth connection with multi-location support. Customer and booking data import with preview. Subscription plan linking for membership tiers. One payment platform across the entire operation.
The Economics
The autonomous model eliminates the single largest expense in any service business: labor. No front desk staff, no bay attendants, no closing managers. Your operating costs reduce to rent, utilities, insurance, and software subscriptions. Everything else is margin.
With 24/7 availability, autonomous facilities capture revenue during hours that staffed operations cannot serve — early mornings, late nights, holidays, and weekends. The facility never calls in sick, never takes a vacation, and never closes early.
