Small steps you can use

A little preparation.A calmer club day.

Three short checklists for familiar moments in club life. Pick one to discuss at your next team catch-up.

Before a busy club night.

  • Check a member price and a guest price before service starts.
  • Give new volunteers time to practise the everyday till tasks.
  • Make sure the team knows who to contact if it needs help.
Make service simpler

Before membership renewals.

  • Review duplicate records and details that need updating.
  • Confirm your membership categories, prices and benefits.
  • Agree who updates each member’s status and when.
Make renewals clearer

Before the committee meets.

  • Compare sales across equivalent trading days and periods.
  • Review stock adjustments alongside sales, rather than in isolation.
  • Record each agreed action, its owner and the next review date.
Make decisions clearer

Questions worth asking

Your club.Your questions.

Clear starting points for the conversations that matter to your team.

Talk it through with us
What should we look for in a social club EPOS system?

Start with the way your club operates: bar service, member and guest prices, stock, reporting and the people using the till. Ask about setup, training, support and the full cost. Our social club EPOS guide explains the questions worth asking before you decide.

How can we make a busy bar easier for staff and volunteers?

Review your most-used till buttons, check product and member prices, and give new starters time to practise before the rush. Clear routines matter alongside the equipment. Explore club EPOS to see how the system can support your team.

Can membership management help with renewals and member prices?

Connected membership and EPOS can reduce repeated checks by linking a member’s status to the relevant pricing rules. Accurate records and clear responsibilities still matter. Our membership management page explains the options to discuss for your club.

Where should we start when stock figures do not add up?

Check the records behind the difference: deliveries, product sizes and measures, waste, complimentary items, returns and transfers. Compare these with a physical count before drawing conclusions. Explore stock control for a more consistent way to bring that information together.

Which reports are useful for a club committee?

Start with the decisions you need to make. Comparable sales periods, payment totals, product performance, discounts and stock adjustments can help explain what is happening. Keep the reporting focused and understandable. See the club reporting options.

What should we ask about training and ongoing support?

Ask who will be trained, which daily tasks are covered, how new volunteers can learn the system and what support is available when your club trades. Also clarify what your support arrangement includes and when charges may apply. Talk to our team about your club’s needs.

Do we need every feature from the start?

Start with the priorities that will make the greatest practical difference. Discuss what you need now, what could be added later and how membership, stock, reporting, ticketing or door entry would work together. Explore the Club Control solutions before building your shortlist.
