What does Blade handle for an axe throwing venue?+
Blade connects online booking, payments, digital waivers, front-desk check-in, lane screens, interactive scoring, leagues, customer records, marketing tools, and reporting in one axe-house platform.
How much does Blade cost?+
Blade has no monthly software fee. One 5% platform fee on bookings supports the complete platform, with no feature tiers and no lane or staff limits. SMS usage is purchased separately because carrier delivery has a direct cost.
Who pays the 5% platform fee?+
The venue controls how the 5% is handled: pass it to the guest at checkout, cover it as the business, or split it between the guest and the venue.
Does Blade include interactive axe throwing scoring?+
Yes. Players enter each throw on the lane screen and see live IATF scoring, player order, personal bests, shared results, and lane-versus-lane play. Results can stay connected to player profiles, leaderboards, achievements, and leagues.
Can Blade replace our current booking and scoring systems?+
Yes. Blade can be configured around your lanes, session rules, pricing, deposits, waivers, staff access, payments, and scoring workflow. The launch process also covers website setup, staff training, and the move to one connected venue system.
How does Blade help bring axe throwing customers back?+
Blade keeps promotions, digital gift cards, loyalty rewards, referrals, scores, and customer history connected. After a session, venues can send a branded Your Night recap with lane photos, saved scores, and a direct rebooking link so guests can relive the experience and plan the rematch.
