Why Rex Is the Ultimate Bowling Reservation System for Your Center

Running a bowling center is no easy feat—juggling lane reservations, party bookings, and making sure every guest has a blast! You need a reservation system that keeps up with your pace and makes life easier for both you and your guests. That’s where Rex Reservations comes rolling in. It’s the bowling reservation system designed to keep things running smoothly, increase your revenue, and make the guest experience unforgettable. Here’s why Rex is the go-to solution for your bowling center.

‍

‍

1. Sell More Lanes, Never Overbook

Picture this: It’s Saturday night, and your bowling center is packed. The last thing you want is to accidentally double-book a lane or turn away excited bowlers because of overbooking chaos. Rex Reservations takes away that headache by giving you real-time lane availability, so you’ll never overbook or miss out on potential sales. This means happier guests, smoother operations, and more cash in the register.

‍

2. Trusted by Leading Bowling Centers Nationwide

Rex isn’t just another reservation system—it’s trusted by some of the biggest names in the game. Whether you’re running a neighborhood bowling alley or a sprawling multi-location center, Rex has a proven record of delivering exceptional service. Bowling centers like Punch Bowl Social, FatCats and SpareTime have chosen Rex to handle their reservations, proving that this system knows how to handle the unique demands of high-volume, high-energy bowling centers just like yours.

3. Tailored for the Bowling Experience

Rex doesn’t try to be a jack-of-all-trades; it’s built specifically for activity centers. Unlike traditional restaurant reservation systems, Rex gets that your center isn’t just about tables; it’s about creating unforgettable experiences, whether it’s birthday parties, corporate events, or walk-in guests ready to strike it big. Rex is easily customizable to fit your center's unique needs. From dynamic pricing, buffer times, charging per lane or per guest, Rex lets you customize your offering down to the package level giving you the ultimate flexibility.

‍

4. Increase Your Revenue with Upselling Features

Rex helps you turn every booking into an opportunity to boost revenue. For example, when guests reserve a lane online, Rex’s can suggest add-ons like additional game time, shoe rentals, or snack packages. Let’s say a family books a lane on a Friday night—you can suggest they also grab a pizza-and-pitcher combo. These subtle suggestions can significantly increase your average transaction value, helping you make the most out of every reservation.

‍

5. Multi-Activity Booking

Your bowling center probably offers more than just bowling, right? Whether you’ve got an arcade, laser tag, or a mini-golf course, Rex handles it all. The multi-activity booking feature means guests can reserve more than just a bowling lane, maximizing how long they stay and how much they spend. Plus, the resource manager keeps everything running smoothly, ensuring schedules and availability are perfectly aligned with all your offerings.

‍

6. Deliver an Unmatched Guest Experience

You know that delivering an amazing guest experience is what keeps your guests coming back. Rex makes sure your guests have a hassle-free booking process from start to finish. When they book online, they receive an automated confirmation with all the details, including lane number, time slot, and any special instructions. This means fewer phone calls for your staff and more time focusing on what matters—providing stellar service on the floor.

‍

7. One-Click Integrations for Easy Payments

Rex makes it super easy to collect payments, whether it’s for lane bookings, shoe rentals, or party packages. You can set custom deposit percentages, so if someone’s booking a lane, you can take 100% upfront, but for a big birthday bash, you might only require 25%. Additionally each package can have different pricing methods like per lane per hour, flat rate per lane, per guest, or age based.

8. Case Study: Splitsville’s Success Story

Let’s talk about real results. Splitsville Luxury Lanes, known for its upscale bowling experience, saw a game-changing boost after switching to Rex Reservations. Not only did it make managing reservations a breeze, but it also cut down on the time staff spent on party bookings. They could focus more on making guests happy and even increased their party bookings by 30% in just a few months. If Splitsville can strike gold, imagine what Rex can do for your center!
