For family entertainment centers
Booking software for
family entertainment centers
Stupid simple booking software for family entertainment centers. Every attraction runs as its own timed sessions, a party package spans several, one waiver covers the visit. The big suites were built for the FEC of 2010; this was built for yours.
Multi-attraction booking
One checkout for bowling, laser tag, and climbing
Guests pick their attractions, select time slots for each, add any extras, and pay, all in one flow. The system handles the complexity: bowling lane available at 2pm, laser tag session at 3pm, climbing wall capacity at 4pm. The guest just taps and pays with Apple Pay.

Waivers for every attraction
One waiver covers laser tag, climbing, and trampolines
Parents sign one digital waiver at home that covers all physical attractions in your center. When the family arrives, every activity is already cleared. No more separate waivers per zone, no more iPad stations at each entrance, no more party guests holding up the laser tag queue.

Unified front desk
Every attraction, every sale, one iPad
Bowling tickets, arcade credits, snack bar, climbing sessions, birthday party check-in: your front desk handles it all from one screen. Staff see today's manifest with waiver status across all zones. One tap to check in, one tap to add a walk-in to any attraction.

What a family entertainment center system looks like in wakesys
A family entertainment center in wakesys is a set of attractions, each with its own timed sessions and capacity. A party package spans several of them, and one booking, one waiver and one check-in cover the visit. These are the objects the system holds:
- Attraction
- Laser tag, bowling, climbing, each set up as its own activity with its own timed sessions, capacity and price. Arcade credit packs and snacks sell at the POS.
- Session
- Date, start time, length, capacity, price, per attraction. Weekday, weekend and holiday prices follow your rules.
- Booking
- One checkout holds several attractions, each at its own time and capacity, with one payment.
- Party package
- The host books a package that spans attractions and the party room, and shares one link. Each family claims its own children's tickets and signs its own waivers.
- Waiver
- One per participant, signed before arrival. A signed waiver is reused for the participant's other tickets at the park, so a family signs once for the whole visit.
- Check-in and POS
- Staff see the day's manifest across all attractions with each participant's waiver status, and one tap checks a family in. Walk-ins buy attraction tickets, rentals and snacks at the iPad POS, with card payments on Stripe Terminal.
Memberships, season passes and punch cards sell from the same booking page and the same POS as per-visit tickets. Monthly and annual billing arrives in December 2026.
What to look for in FEC software
Based on running activity venues and talking to FEC operators, here's what actually matters:
- Multi-attraction support: FECs run multiple attractions. Your software should handle them all (booking, capacity, and POS) in one unified system.
- Waiver integration: Minors need parent-signed waivers. One waiver should cover all attractions. Signed during booking, not at the door.
- Birthday party workflow: Parties drive weekend revenue. Group booking with individual claiming, waiver collection, and party host dashboards save hours.
- Unified POS: One system for admissions, food, merchandise, and add-ons. Staff shouldn't need to switch between systems.
- Scalability: FECs grow. Adding a new attraction shouldn't require a new software system. Look for flexible activity configuration.
- Transparent pricing: FEC software can get expensive with per-module pricing. Understand total cost including setup, training, and ongoing fees.

Frequently asked questions
From multi-attraction booking to party packages: everything you need to know about running your center on wakesys.
FEC software replaces the patchwork of systems most entertainment centers use. Instead of separate tools for bowling lanes, laser tag sessions, climbing walls, and arcade, you get one platform that handles booking, waivers, check-in, and POS across every attraction in your center.
Yes. A family can book bowling at 2pm, laser tag at 3pm, and add arcade credits, all in a single checkout. Each attraction keeps its own timing and capacity limits while the guest sees one booking flow with one payment.
Create party packages that span multiple zones: 30 minutes of laser tag, 1 hour of bowling, plus party room time. The host books and gets a shareable link. Each parent claims their kids' spots and signs waivers from home. On party day, every kid walks straight in with waivers done and attractions pre-booked.
Each zone has its own capacity limits: 20 per laser tag session, 6 per bowling lane, 30 on the climbing wall. The system tracks availability in real-time and prevents overbooking in any zone. Your front desk sees a unified view of the entire center's capacity at a glance.
Yes. Laser tag, climbing walls, trampolines, and most physical attractions require signed liability waivers. With wakesys, guests sign digitally before arriving. For birthday parties, each parent signs independently via the claim link. This eliminates the 15-minute waiver bottleneck that eats into paid activity time.
The iPad POS sells tickets for any attraction, processes walk-in bookings, handles snack bar and arcade credit sales, and manages equipment rentals, all from one screen. Staff don't switch between systems when a family wants bowling tickets, a drink, and arcade tokens.
Yes. Set Saturday afternoon at one price and Tuesday morning at another. Weekend laser tag can cost more than weekday sessions. School holiday pricing can be different from term time. The system applies the right price automatically based on your rules.
One check-in covers everything. Staff tap the family on the manifest, see all booked attractions and waiver status, and check everyone in with one tap. The manifest shows what's next, so at 3pm when laser tag starts, staff know exactly who to send to the arena.
Yes. Each location has its own attractions, pricing, and capacity. Staff at each site see only their center. Owners see a consolidated view across all locations: total bookings, revenue, and capacity utilization in one dashboard.
Your first 12 months on wakesys are free; after that it's 2% of what you take, dropping to 1% above $250,000 a year. Booking, waivers, POS, and check-in for every attraction in your center are included. No per-booking fee from us, no per-attraction surcharges. Compare that to ROLLER or Aluvii, which charge enterprise-level pricing.
