Member experience
that doesn't buffer.
Managed networks, POS uptime, peak-event WiFi, PCI compliance, and a Member Concierge AI agent. Built for clubs in DC, NoVA, MD, and the Triangle.
Where club IT actually breaks.
The operating reality nobody briefs the board on.
-
Member experience breaks at the worst possible moment.
Saturday dinner, member-guest tournament, gala night. The exact times the network can't blink — and the front-desk has no IT lead to call.
-
POS / ClubExpress / Jonas is held together by tribal knowledge.
Someone's undocumented workaround keeps things running. When that person leaves, the workaround leaves with them.
-
Peak-event WiFi is engineered after the fact.
Weddings, member-guest, tournaments, social events. Capacity wasn't planned for 400 phones in one ballroom.
-
PCI scope is bigger than anyone thinks.
Card data flows through the POS, the member app, the spa booking system, and the pro-shop tablet. The audit asks about all of it.
-
Member apps and self-service are table stakes now.
The next generation of members expects to book a tee time and pay a bar tab from their phone. The current stack wasn't built for that.

A Member Concierge agent for the front desk.
Routine member inquiries get an instant, on-brand answer. Front desk staff get back to the members standing in front of them.
Member Concierge Agent
Reservations, tee times, member directory, dining inquiries, billing questions. Deflects routine inbound from the front desk so staff can focus on the members standing in front of them.
50–70% of routine member inquiries

About IT for private clubs
What kinds of clubs do you serve?
Country clubs, golf clubs, yacht clubs, city / social clubs, and equity-member clubs. The operating reality is similar across formats: a small year-round staff, a peak season or peak event cadence, member-funded budgets, and POS / membership platforms (Jonas, ClubExpress, Northstar, ForeTees) at the heart of operations.
How is this different from generic hospitality IT?
Hotels and restaurants optimize for transactional volume. Private clubs optimize for member experience and the operating cadence around peak events (weddings, tournaments, member-guest, gala nights). The IT discipline is closer to a small association than a small hotel — long-tenured members, heavy AMS-equivalent dependencies, and a board that watches the budget closely.
Do you support our specific POS / membership platform?
The platforms we see most often: Jonas Club Software, ClubExpress, Northstar Club Management, ForeTees, EZLinks, MembersFirst. Systems administration covers user management, integration health, M365/Google sync, and configuration changes. We don't replace your POS vendor — we operate the discipline around the integrations.
What does "peak-event WiFi readiness" actually mean?
A 60-day runbook before any marquee event: vendor coordination, expected device-count modeling, WiFi survey, capacity test, on-site walk-through, cellular failover armed, spare hardware staged, and a Wellforce technician on-site if the event warrants it. The goal is invisible IT — nobody at the wedding ever thinks about the network.
How does PCI compliance work in the partnership?
Compliance Management is an add-on that includes PCI scope reduction, evidence collection via a compliance automation platform (Vanta or Drata), and an audit walkthrough where your QSA talks to us. Most clubs are level 4 merchants — we focus on scope minimization and continuous control monitoring rather than full attestation work.
How is pricing structured?
IT Partnership: $150–$250 per staff seat per month, depending on complexity. Compliance Management add-on starts at $1,500/mo for PCI-baseline. AI agent deployments quoted per use case. Project work (refresh, network rebuild, event-IT) at standard project rates. See /pricing for full bands.
