Built for the Axe Throwing Reality
We run activity venues. We know the Saturday chaos of walk-ins, waivers, and corporate groups. That's why we built wakesys differently.
Waivers Done Right
Guests sign during booking. By the time they arrive, waivers are done. No tablets at the door. No queues.
Lane Management
Session-based capacity per lane. Visual availability for staff. Prevent overbooking automatically.
Mobile-First Booking
60-second booking on any device. No app download required. Works perfectly on phones — where most bookings happen.
Group Events
Corporate team building, bachelor parties, group bookings. One person books, shares link, everyone signs waivers independently.
Walk-In POS
iPad POS for reception and bar. Sell sessions, food, drinks, merchandise. Stripe Terminal for card payments.

What to Look For in Axe Throwing Software
Based on running activity venues and talking to axe throwing operators, here's what actually matters:
- Waiver Integration: Waivers should be part of booking, not a separate step. Guests should arrive signed and ready.
- Lane Management: Session-based capacity per lane. Visual availability. Automatic overbooking prevention.
- Group Booking: Corporate events, bachelor parties, team building. One booker, everyone handles their own info.
- Walk-In Support: Not everyone books ahead. Your POS should handle walk-ins just as smoothly.
- Mobile Speed: Most bookings are on phones. If mobile booking is slow, you're losing sales.
