For lodges, clubs, posts, chapters and boards

Light the way for your members.

A website plus the tools to run your hall: events, the cash register, the building and the officer roster. You update it from your phone in under five minutes, and it carries over when the officers change.

Up and running in three steps

  1. Create your organization's site. Add your name, meeting night and logo. You're live the same day.
  2. Add what you need. Turn on only the parts you'll use: events, the cash register, building maintenance.
  3. Hand it on. When the new officers take office, they sign in and keep going. Nothing is lost.

A website your members can actually find

Your meeting night, officers, events and news, on a site that looks right on a phone, because that's where your members are. You don't need a designer or a webmaster. If you can write a text message, you can update your page.

  • Pages built from simple blocks that can't break
  • News and announcements
  • Your logo and colors, checked for readability
  • Your own domain, or an address on ours

Put the fish fry on the calendar once

Create the event, set the dates and the seat limit, and take sign-ups on your site. On the night, check guests in from a phone at the door. It also shows up on your Google Calendar.

  • Events with one date or many
  • Registrations and an accurate headcount
  • Check-in from any phone

Ring up the social on a real cash register

Big buttons for the things you sell: a breakfast plate, a raffle ticket, a soda. Open the drawer, ring it up, make change, and close the night with a total you can read out at the next meeting. Count your stock at month's end and see what you actually made.

  • Works on a phone or tablet
  • Comps, voids and cash sessions
  • Stock counts and profit and loss

The building shouldn't live in one trustee's head

Who services the boiler? When was the fire extinguisher last checked? What's the roofer's number? Keep the vendors, the equipment and the maintenance schedule in one place, with a log of what was done. The next trustee starts where you left off.

  • Vendor and service directory
  • Equipment list with reminders
  • Maintenance log for audits
