Next walk-on day
Everyone who has booked and paid, before you open the doors. Seven hours on a Sunday; the clock times are sample until you set them.
Sign-in
At the desk
Each player shows the pass on the phone. Scan it and the row ticks. A player without a disclaimer signs on the tablet first; an under-18 needs the parent beside them.
Hire rifles to issue
Pre-booked, so you knew last night
Twelve rental packages booked and paid with the ticket. Tick each one as it goes out with its 1,000 BBs and mask.
Pre-orders to bag
Paid for already, ready at sign-in
12 × £5, sample price, name on the bag
4 × £9, sample item
3 × £12, sample item
Pre-orders today: £132. None of it taken at the desk.

Takings so far, this Sunday

Booked and paid by card before the doors open. Walk-ups on the day come on top.
Same Sunday last year
£690
27 players, taken at the desk. No pre-orders, no hire booked ahead, no way to know who was coming.
Both figures are sample. Yours replace them the first Sunday it runs.
Bookings
The next four dates
The latest bookings on each of the next four walk-on dates, with the money against them. Refund or move a booking from here; the player gets the email, you do not write it.
A refund goes back to the card it came from. A move keeps the money and changes the date; if the new date costs a different amount, the difference is charged or refunded and the line here says so.
Members
Your £40 year
Everyone who has paid the £25. Each membership runs twelve months from the day it was bought, so renewals go out one at a time, the month before, without you touching it.
The list
Members, most recent first
Renewal run
One email, one pay link, each member
Goes out the month before each membership runs out, with a card link for the next year. Anyone who pays stays a member without you touching it. Anyone who does not gets one nudge and then drops to non-member fares.
Why they join
The £25 pays back on the fifth Sunday
Full day £25 against £25, half day £25 against £25, plus the consumables discount and the UKARA route. The site now says that at the moment somebody is paying, which is where your 86 came from in this sample.
Money
This month, by line
What the site has taken, line by line, and when it reaches your bank. Every figure on this panel is sample; your Stripe account replaces them the day it goes live.
Takings by line, this month so far
Vouchers are in the proposal but switched off, so the line reads nil until you say yes.
Card against the desk
Today, all of it is booked by phone and paid on the day
Nothing stops you taking a walk-up at the desk. The point is that the group deposits, the £25 memberships and the pre-orders arrive before anyone has parked.
Stripe payouts
Sunday's takings, in your bank the same week
Stripe pays out on a rolling schedule you set once. The days shown are sample. Card fees are shown as a sample line, not a quote.
Settings
Your fares and your rules, in one place

The rule the site builds the calendar from
Skip a Sunday here and it comes off the site and goes to the members in the same minute, instead of a post people miss.
Session slots
Fixed time slots, you tell us
Once filled in, these are the slots the session picker sells. Until then the site says nothing about them, because you do not.
Age and safety
The ages are your published rules and the site enforces them at the checkout: an under-18 cannot finish an airsoft booking without a parent's disclaimer.
