Point-of-Sale Ticketing and Control
Unlike standard retail systems, Gatemaster is designed to manage the
specialized transactions needed for an entertainment facility. Ticketing
is the most unique and basic requirement.
Ticketing
Gatemaster's point of sale system produces unique, attractive tickets
quickly and automatically. But we take ticketing several steps further.
Gatemaster can print receipts, tickets, wristbands, and photo ID cards
with speed and professionalism from any point of sale workstation in
the network. We provide only the highest quality and most reliable printers
on the market that have been field-tested for durability over long periods
of use. The result is a crisp and clean print every time.
Receipts
Receipts can be printed for every item sold from Gatemaster. In addition,
customized receipts can be created and printed for different areas of
the business such as concession sales, retail stores and gift shops,
admissions and ticket booths, rental counters, etc. Give each receipt
a unique look by customizing the header and footer on each. Gatemaster
can be enabled to only print receipts as an option, at the discretion
of the cashier, conserving your receipt paper and saving you money in
the long run. Duplicate receipts can also be printed as an option for
transactions that require them.
Tickets and Wristbands
Eliminate the direct costs associated with the inventory and theft of
pre-printed tickets and wristbands. With Gatemaster in place, tickets
and wristbands will print at the point of sale for paying customers
only and are useless beforehand. The relevant transaction data and bar
code will print on the ticket or wristband at the time of sale and eliminates
the need to track the inventory given to each cashier.
Every attraction can have a different ticket or wristband design for
easy visual authorization by entry attendants. Every discounted ticket
can have a different design in order to be easy to recognize by cashiers.
Sell combination ticket packages at the touch of a single button and
allow for remote ticket validation and canceling using turnstiles, hand
held scanners, or point-of-sale terminals. Automatically open doors
or turnstiles for the customer with just a scan. Print your own waterproof
wristbands for any water rides and attractions, all day passes, etc.
Photo ID Cards
Gatemaster produces amazingly clear color ID cards for staff and customers,
complete with graphics and logos, photo, name, bar code, and more in
less than 30 seconds! With Gatemaster, you can design unique card styles
for each customer group, membership level, or staff position to enhance
the customers' experience, aid in quick visual authorization, and to
strengthen cash control procedures.
Print ID cards from any point of sale station while you continue to
sell to other customers - there's no downtime. Gatemaster will print
individualized bar codes for every customer which is linked to their
unique customer ID number for quick and easy tracking throughout your
facility. Gatemaster also integrates with debit cards that use magnetic
strips, smart chips, or RFID chips imbedded inside the card for a "cashless"
solution for your customers throughout your facility.
Utilizing photo ID cards dramatically reduces theft and increases revenues
at entertainment facilities in a variety of ways. Eliminate the use
by staff of "compromised" ID codes and minimize the use of lost or stolen
cards by customers since Gatemaster displays the "authentic" customer's
photo on the main screen during every transaction. Increase revenues
by offering your customers a convenient "cashless" system throughout
your facility using money they have put on their Gatemaster account
and by enhancing their experience using cool new membership and season
pass cards.
Smart Chips
"Smart chips" can be used in a card or waterproof wristband. Developed
by National
Ticket Company® in conjunction with their partners,
this chip can carry vital purchasing information from station to station
throughout your entertainment facility. All the guest has to do is load
it up with purchasing credits at the beginning of their visit. As they
move around your facility making purchases and gaining access to attractions,
the proper amount of money or passes get deducted from their account,
and the ticket is updated for their next purchase!
Since all the information is carried on the chip itself, this is a perfect
solution for facilities where computers are not or cannot be networked!
Eliminate the costly expense of laying miles of conduit and network
cabling to entry/exit points by utilizing RFID readers to validate any
ticket, wristband, ID card, or other media with the imbedded RFID chip
inside. Provide Gatemaster's cashless solution to your customers to
give them access to rides and attractions, cash on account, RFID lockers,
and more throughout your facility.
National
Ticket Company and RFID Technology
Gatemaster and National
Ticket Company have teamed up to provide low-cost
ticketing solutions and RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) technology
to the entertainment industry. As a Gatemaster customer, your facility
can order ticket and wristband stock directly through National Ticket
Company and receive a special discount as a preferred Gatemaster client.
National Ticket Company has developed a variety of solutions to fit
every situation. Disposable chips are available for one-time use transactions
and reusable chips are available for a durable, low-cost alternative.
Consignment Ticketing
Give your marketing department new tools for bringing in business. Consignment
ticketing will allow the selling and tracking of blocks of tickets for
your outside "partner" companies who will only be charged for tickets
that are redeemed! Track the tickets assigned to each partner, determine
what item is sold when the customer redeems the ticket, set an expiration
date for validation, and you are done! When it comes time to reconcile
with each partner company, whether they paid in advance for the tickets
or agreed to be billed, simply look up their account in Gatemaster and
e-mail, fax, or print their statement to reconcile.
E-Commerce Ticketing and Reservations
Online sales are quickly becoming a critical revenue stream for entertainment
facilities across the globe as they use the power of the Internet to
provide their customers with more information, give them more choices,
and make their purchasing experience fun and easy. Increase sales dramatically
from your Web site by enabling your customers to purchase tickets to
attractions, schedule party and group reservations, and even register
for upcoming events!
With an e-commerce solution from Gatemaster, customers can buy tickets
online for admission, attractions and rides, special events, and more.
Customers can schedule parties and group events and view the real-time
schedules of facility resources such as party rooms, meeting areas,
pavilions and arenas, and other "capacity venues" that require advanced
reservations. Customers can register online for memberships, season
passes, leagues and tournaments, special events, lessons, classes, and
any other planned events. The Gatemaster system will update immediately
at the facility to reflect the change in capacity for any event or scheduled
area once the purchase is complete, which eliminates the possibility
of double or overbooking.
E-Commerce projects are developed on a case-by-case basis allowing our
programmers to work directly with your team to create the right solution.
