Operational Efficiency & Cost Cutting
There are two ways to grow a golf simulator business – grow revenues and control costs. Many owners overlook the cost side of things, but running a tight operation creates a sustainable business and more money in your pocket at the end of the year.
WHAT WE DO
How we can help you streamline your operations and control costs
Business model evaluation and optimization
It’s easy to build a business model for a golf simulator business. What’s hard is tweaking the business model to respond to market dynamics, actual costs, and unanticipated wrinkles along the way.
Things like planning ahead for seasonal changes in business, accurately pricing services, and anticipating capital expenditures can make a big difference to the bottom line.
Work with our business experts to evaluate and optimize your business model to put more money in your pocket at the end of each month.
Leverage our vendor relationships for discounted supplies
Quite simply, we can help you get wholesale supplies at a better cost. We’ve negotiate partnerships with all the vendors you need to operate your business: clubs, balls, tees, turf, retail and even restaurant and kitchen supplies.
With our track record and collective network of independent simulator businesses, we can open up preferred discounts and better debt terms.
IT and systems optimization
In our decade of operation, we’ve tested all the combinations of POS, accounting, booking, and customer management. It can be a complicated web of independent providers, and there is a lot of power in selecting the right systems and making sure they work together seamlessly.
Inventory planning and budgeting
Not ready to take on a full-fledged overhaul of your business model? Start small with inventory planning and budgeting. We have benchmarks and playbooks to help you plan for seasonal changes in your business and avoid heavy-cost months.
Examples of our work
Tech Stack Overhaul
We worked with a simulator business who had grown their tech stack like most small businesses. They added new pieces of software overtime, and had gotten to the point where they had many systems that didn’t talk to each other in the right ways.
We worked with the owners to evaluate their systems, sunset unnecessary platforms, and integrate the right mix of technology to run their business. The result was a 30% reduction in monthly expenses on software and IT.
Alcohol Licensing
Having a full-service bar can provide a huge boost to the bottom line. The problem is, the requirements for getting a liquor license vary significantly by state and local jurisdiction.
We launched a concept in a city that didn’t have an existing provision for indoor golf facilities. We worked with the city council to craft a local ordinance that was in line with the city’s goals, but provided a pathway to secure a liquor license from the state.
Optimizing Bay Supply Purchasing
Bay utilization is a good thing, but the more people play, the quicker things wear out. Between turf hitting strips, balls, tees, and impact screens, replacement costs can quickly add up.
We have benchmarks of when supplies need to be re-ordered, and we have relationships with top-tier vendors to make your equipment purchases both more predicable and less costly for your operations.
