Venue control system
Designed for bays, staff, guests, and operations.
Activate play time, change LED panel messages, power ball dispensers, and receive service calls from one web-based system.
Co-developed by NLJ Technologies and SAR Tech for configurable, scalable golf operations.
Executive Overview
One platform for bay sessions, signs, service, and power control.
Bay Control turns each bay into a connected operating point: staff can start sessions, guests can request service, LED signage updates automatically, and dispenser power can be controlled bay by bay.
Any-device access
Staff can use an iPad, PC, phone, or tablet browser to view every bay and take action instantly.
Timed bay activation
Select a time, activate the bay, and let the system manage the operating state for that session.
LED sign control
Bay signs change color and text based on availability, active play, out-of-service status, and service requests.
Ball dispenser power
Custom power modules can energize the selected bay dispenser only when the bay is activated.
Booking-ready
The platform can integrate with booking systems to align reservations, bay state, and real-time operations.
Usage reports
Review bay usage time, stoppages, most-used bays, service activity, and operating trends from the system.
Multi-venue support
Chain admins can monitor every location, bay status, reports, and operating activity from a central office view.
Day-wide controls
Open Day and Close Day can activate or deactivate every bay at once for faster daily operations.
Out-of-service mode
Put any bay out of service for maintenance, private use, or operational reasons.
Bay Workflow
From selected time to live bay experience.
The system is built around the actual flow of a golf entertainment venue: session start, guest visibility, dispenser power, time remaining, and staff response.

When the server arrives, staff can clear the request and return the bay to normal status.
System Architecture
Scalable architecture for modern golf venues.
The system is configurable by venue size, bay count, sign layout, dispenser type, maintenance workflow, and booking requirements. It can start as a local operating platform and scale into a deeper venue integration layer.

Booking and venue systems
The platform is designed to be adaptable to any booking system, making it possible to connect bay state with external reservation workflows without locking the venue into one provider.

- Multi-venue admin visibility
