Who we serve

# Open at 2am with nobody in the building

Unmanned Facilities

## Run 24/7 with no staff on site

1.  ### ### Nobody has to be there

    Access arrives with the confirmation and works only for the time they paid for.

2.  ### ### The bay resets itself

01

### They can buy more time themselves

A customer whose session is running out extends and pays, and the bay unlocks again without calling anyone.

## The 9pm phone call that does not happen

Self-serve extension is the difference between an unmanned room that works and one that rings you at home. When the screen locks mid-round, the customer adds thirty minutes and keeps playing.

FAQ

## Frequently asked questions

### Can the venue really run with nobody on site?

Yes. Booking, payment, door and simulator access all run without staff. Access arrives with the booking confirmation and opens from the customer's phone.

### What booking software unlocks both the door and the simulator for a 24/7 golf venue?

Golf O'Clock does both from the same booking. The customer pays online, opens the door from their phone through Kisi, Avigilon Alta, RemoteLock, Rhombus or the O'Clock SmartLock, and Screen Marshal unlocks the simulator PC for their session and locks it again when it ends.

### What happens if someone's session runs out and they want more time?

If you allow extensions, they add time from their phone, pay for it, and the bay unlocks again. They have until 15 minutes after the end to do it. No call, no staff.

### What stops someone walking in on another booking?

Access is tied to the booking window. You set how early it opens and how long after the end it stays live, so credentials are dead outside the session.

### Does the simulator get switched on as well?

Screen Marshal unlocks the bay computer on the same booking and locks it again at the end, so the bay is ready rather than just unlocked.

### Which locks does it work with?

Kisi, Avigilon, RemoteLock, Rhombus, generic HTTP locks, or the O'Clock SmartLock. Onboarding includes a recommendation for your venue.
