Peer Reviewed & Fact Checked

1. Lane Booking

A QR at the entrance links to the lane booking system. Customers reserve a lane and time slot from their phone before arriving, avoiding walk-up queues on busy Friday nights.

2. Shoe Hire

A QR at the shoe counter links to the hire form: shoe size, name, and agreed hygiene policy. The attendant selects the correct size; no manual booking form needed.

3. Digital Scorecard

Each lane carries a QR that links to or launches the digital scorecard for that session. Players track scores on their phone; the screen projection also uses the same data.

4. Food and Drink Order

A QR at each lane links to the in-lane food and drink order form. Players order without leaving the lane. Orders are delivered to the correct lane number.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can a QR scorecard work without a dedicated app?

Yes. A web-based scorecard that any player opens in their browser eliminates app installation and works on any device.

Should lane booking QR codes be unique per lane?

Yes for in-venue use. Each lane QR pre-fills the lane number in the booking or order form.
