Let the guest cover the platform fee, and your venue has no monthly Blade software charge.

Blade uses one 5% platform fee on bookings. You can pass it to the guest, split it with them, or absorb it—without choosing a smaller feature tier or paying per lane or staff account.

One 5% platform fee. You choose who pays it.

There is no monthly software fee, feature tier, lane limit, or staff limit. The 5% supports the complete connected platform; SMS is purchased separately as it is used.

Replace the software patchwork.

One connected venue record replaces the separate tools that usually sit between a booking, the scored session, and the next visit.

Booking + scheduling

A separate calendar, lane scheduler, and event quote tool

Waivers + front desk

A stand-alone waiver app, paper notes, and disconnected check-in

Lane screens + scoring

A timer beside a separate scoring system

Leagues + tournaments

Spreadsheets for schedules, standings, and brackets

Customer tools

Disconnected gift cards, memberships, loyalty, and referral records

Customer follow-up

Manual exports, one-off reminders, and photos that never reach the guest

Reporting

Reports assembled across several dashboards

Website + email

A separate site host and another service for confirmations and reminders

Your staff stops bouncing between systems. Your customer stays in one experience.

One booking record runs the whole visit.

Blade keeps availability, deposits, and payments attached to waivers, arrival, lane assignment, interactive scoring, results, customer history, and rebooking. Staff and owners work from the same venue record.

Make every lane screen an interactive scoring game.

Blade turns score entry into part of the experience. Players tap the target, see each result immediately, and stay connected to profiles, personal bests, leaderboards, achievements, and leagues after the visit.

Let players score every throw

Interactive target / live IATF scoring / personal bests

Players tap where the axe landed, confirm the throw, and see the live IATF score update on the lane screen without a paper scorecard or separate scoring tool.

Keep the whole group in the game

Game modes / shared results / lane-versus-lane play

The shared screen keeps player order, current scores, game modes, lane-versus-lane play, and final results visible so everyone can follow the session together.

Save results to the player record

Achievements / community / return play

Results can feed player profiles, achievements, leaderboards, leagues, and future invitations without staff re-entering the session in another system.

Walk up to a lane. Try it yourself.

Pick a player, tap the target, and confirm a throw—or let the lane run itself. Timber & Steel's current board and throwable setup powers every practice shot, while this sandbox stays completely separate from venue play and scoring data.

Open one lane full screen

Gift cards

Sell and deliver digital gift cards that return through the same booking and customer flow.

Questions axe-house owners ask before switching.

Compare the complete operating system, the lane experience, and the commercial model—not only the checkout screen.

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.
