Industry’s leading provider of cloud-based solutions to launch upgraded tee sheet and cohost educational seminar with 9-Eighteen Solutions to showcase new ways to drive f&B revenue
Pleasant Grove, UT – As the game and business of golf continue to address myriad challenges and opportunities created by the global pandemic, foreUP, the industry’s pioneer and leading provider of cloud-based software for course management, announces plans to participate in the all-virtual 2021 PGA MerchandiseShow (January 26-21).
Highlighting foreUP’s presence at this groundbreaking event will be the launch of its upgraded digital tee sheet. The company is also co-hosting an online seminar with 9-Eighteen Solutions, a technology partner that develops cloud-based mobile apps for food-and-beverage operations.
“Although we’ll miss meeting with current and potential customers in person and renewing friendships we’ve developed over the years, we look forward to engaging with attendees via the online platform and marketplace,” says Evan Teshima, CEO of foreUP. “The foreUP team will be live in our virtual booth throughout the entire PGAShow to answer questions, exchange information and ideas, conduct demos, and strengthen relationships.”
Developed with continual input from public and private course operators, the updated foreUP tee sheet features a more intuitive layout, increased functionality and expanded capabilities. Select add-ons and refinements include:
- a dropdown for quicker price class searches;
- drag-and-drop controls and expanded transaction views;
- full tee sheet functionality for clubs that have 27 or more holes;
- split-tee and back-nine booking options; and
- customizable
Collectively, the tee sheet’s array of new or improved tools will enhance user experience, system output and business success. “From top to bottom, the system’s designed to boost performance and efficiency,” Teshimanotes.
During the joint educational session, “The Future of Golf Course F&B,” foreUP and 9-Eighteen representatives will share ways course owners and operators can leverage mobile technology to grow their F&B business without increasing expenses.
The cornerstone of this strategy is the 9-Eighteen software, which integrates seamlessly with the foreUP system andis available free of charge to foreUP customers.
Golfers can use the 9-Eighteen app at participating foreUP facilities to purchase food, drinks and merchandise directly from the kitchen or pro shop at any time—and from any location—on the course. The system’s geofencing and GPS-location tools also enable club personnel to deliver orders directly to customers, wherever they are on the property.
“Golfer demographics are evolving, and those who are entering the game want to be served now, not whenever is convenient for the course,” says Cale McLellan, co-founder of 9-Eighteen Solutions. “By moving away from the limited services of the traditional beverage cart with real-time ordering, course operators can improve customer service, generate additional revenue, and manage food-and-beverage inventory more effectively.”
Attendees can schedule appointments with foreUP team members in advance of the PGA Show or visit the foreUP virtual booth at any time during regular show hours. Once logged into the Show platform, attendees can find foreUPHERE.
To attend the educational session, attendees can find it on the schedule for Friday, January 29th at 2:35 PM EST. Attendees who complete the course will receive CEUs from PGA of America.
