More Than a Booking System

Running a golf simulator venue 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, with no staff required during off-peak hours — that's not a simple software problem. It requires a platform that can handle everything from the moment a customer discovers Bay24 online to the moment they walk out after their session. That platform is BayOS™.

BayOS is the proprietary operating system we built from scratch to run every aspect of Bay24 venues. It's not a WordPress plugin or a modified booking widget — it's a full-stack platform designed specifically for the operational challenges of unmanned, technology-forward indoor golf.

What BayOS Controls

Every component of the Bay24 experience runs through BayOS:

  • Online Booking — Real-time bay availability, dynamic pricing based on time-of-day and demand, promo code validation, and Stripe-powered payments
  • Session Codes — Each booking generates a unique 4-digit access code that activates 15 minutes before the scheduled start time
  • Kiosk Management — On-site kiosks display session information, accept walk-in bookings, and show targeted advertising during idle periods
  • Simulator Control — BayOS communicates directly with simulator hardware to manage power, projection, and session timing
  • Swing Lab Integration — High-speed camera capture, AI analysis, and cloud storage all orchestrated through BayOS
  • Food & Beverage — In-session ordering from your phone, kitchen display system, and per-player billing
  • Player Profiles — Centralized accounts with booking history, swing recordings, statistics, friends lists, and membership management
  • Franchise Operations — Multi-venue management, per-location analytics, Stripe Connect payouts, and centralized configuration

Designed for Autonomy

The core design principle of BayOS is autonomous operation. During off-peak hours (late nights, early mornings), Bay24 venues operate without on-site staff. BayOS handles every customer touchpoint automatically — from entry access to session management to payment processing. This isn't a cost-cutting measure; it's a fundamental part of how we deliver 24/7 access at competitive prices.

The Companion App

BayOS extends beyond the venue walls through the Bay24 companion app, available on iOS and Android. The app provides full booking management, session review with Swing Lab recordings, social features including friends lists and shared sessions, membership management, and push notifications for upcoming bookings and promotions.

Real-Time Analytics

For venue operators, BayOS provides a comprehensive admin dashboard built on Filament PHP. Owners and managers can monitor real-time bay status, review booking trends, manage advertising campaigns, process food orders, and access financial reporting — all from a single interface.

BayOS isn't just software — it's the reason Bay24 can operate a premium golf experience at a fraction of the staffing cost of traditional facilities. Every feature exists to make the experience seamless for golfers and efficient for operators.
