Case Study
Who are Plaza Beach Club, and why should you read this case study?
Plaza Beach Club Marbella offers its customers the perfect combination of luxury and liveliness with its plush white beds, world class Dj’s and unrivalled events.
With everything from foam parties to it’s sellout weekend events it really is the venue to be seen in this summer.
If you want to understand how a flexible management system can benefit your beach club, you will find all the necessary steps listed below explaining how you can adapt the Custr booking system to automate your business.
Why were Plaza Beach Club looking for a booking system?
Plaza Beach Club were using Microsoft excel spreadsheets to manage their customer bookings. Their previous system stored all customer details in a non-compliant manner. We were approached by Plaza Beach Club to provide a management system for their reservation team to use, which has now replaced any paper-based methods.
The solution.
Step 1: Understanding the requirements
The first step of solving any problem is to understand the exact issue and identify possible solutions. We were presented with the requirements that Plaza Beach Club needed to digitally operate its venue space. This includes:
- Walk-in booking functionality
- Editing their floor-plan on a daily basis
- Capture online bookings
- Track bookings by lead source
- Dashboard reporting
- Integrate with Stripe payment merchant
Step 2: Creating their events
Custr offers 2 types of events to cover all scenarios for your business. Plaza Beach Club wanted the booking system to manage their sunbed bookings, which are classified as an all-day event
All Day Events. If you offer bookable items that are booked for the duration of your venue hours, this will be classed as an all-day event. An example of this would be your sunbeds as customers book a sunbed for the entire day.
Time-Based Events. If you offer bookable items that are booked for a specific time slot, this would be classed as a time-based event. An example of this would be a restaurant booking as customers select an available time slot.
Step 3: Creating their floor plans
We were presented with the Plaza Beach Club floor plan. Custr allows you to upload a floor-plan design & place your bookable items on the layout.
By creating a floor plan on Custr, allows you and your reservation team to visually see all real-time bookings on your layout. If you don’t require a floor plan, you can simply skip this feature and view your bookings in the conventional list-view.
Step 4: Setting up payment
To accept payments from customers for their sunbeds, Custr set up their payment handling with our Stripe integration. This allowed customers to make online bookings via their social media & website. This allowed Plaza Beach to collect pre-payments and therefore accurate forecast their summer season.
Step 5: Creating a test environment to simulate the booking journey
Before the system goes live, we provided Plaza Beach Club with their account details to ensure all details were set up correctly. In addition, we allowed Plaza Beach Club to create sample/test bookings to test the full booking journey to ensure they were satisfied before the system became live & their licence started.
