Summer is in fine form for many of our clubs across the country, which means reservations are sure to pick up for the favorite facility of relaxers everywhere – the spa! Equip your team with everything they need to master Clubessential’s Next Gen Spa Management and Professional Services systems in our live staff training. Read on for registration details for this June training!

It's not too late to join the thought leadership train – if you missed the 2023 Clubessential Digital Summit, you can still take advantage of the incredible content put together by our industry experts. Find recordings and supplementary materials below.

We’re highlighting the Clubessential Community in this month’s newsletter to make sure you and your club can utilize the Community, which gives you visibility into support, the ability to receive assistance via instant messaging, access to in-depth training and webinars, and more! 

 

 

On Wednesday, May 17th, we joined with private club patrons and thought leaders to build the future of the industry. The 2023 Clubessential Digital Summit’s interactive sessions highlighted new and trending industry technology, featured conversations with real Clubessential customers, and dove into questions from our live attendees as we navigated these pertinent topics together. 

 

If you missed the live Summit, don’t worry – you can still access the educational and informative content online, so you can scale the Summit on your own time. 

Take me to the recordings!

Reservations Improvements 

— Spa Mgmt/Professional Services- 

– New setting for Override Price? For CMA/Mobile POS users, can now enter an override price for a combo item to flow through to the ticket in Mobile POS. This allows for you to use a generic combo Item for a Provider and service category (i.e. Stephanie-Massage- $0) for all Massage services and duration rows to cutdown on the number of items that need to be created in CMA. 

Add-Ons- will now flow through to the ticket in Mobile POS with the item/price connected to that Add-On. 

Added an Amount column to the Spa Statistics Report 

Preventing editing a reservation that has a closed ticket in Mobile POS. 

Courts - Edit Block Series Now Available - instead of removing a series of blocked courts and then adding a new Block Series, you are now able to Edit the Series and adjust the Block Title, start/end time, and courts in the series going forward. 

 

KDS Improvements: 

— Clubs that are utilizing our KDS system will now see a new Notification Icon in the upper right hand corner of the screen which will display the 10 most recent events in the KDS helping their kitchen staff to track what is going on during a busy time period 

— Clubs utilizing our KDS system may now also notice that the overall ticket timer has been uncapped from the previous cap of 99:59 allowing for more precie reporting on any ticket that was in the KDS longer than 99 min 59s 

— The KDS Bump Bar will now also switch between table # and ticket # when a user presses on the ticket header to help eliminate confusion when information is being called out to the kitchen staff
