    Are You Still Playing Tetris with Your Firing Lanes? Here’s a Better Way to Manage Your Range with Bizzflo

    As a range owner, you know the feeling:

    • A double-booking leads to frustrated shooters and a manager scrambling to fix the schedule at the front desk.
    • Walk-ins stand in line, complaining while your team shuffles things around manually.
    • Classes, rentals, and events overlap—and suddenly, your carefully planned calendar looks more like chaos.

    Running a firearm range shouldn’t feel like a high-stakes game of Tetris. Your lanes are your revenue engine, and every conflict, idle minute, or scheduling error costs you money.

    That’s why we built Bizzflo’s Shooting Range & Gun Store Software—to bring order, automation, and profitability back to your range operations.

    Gun Range Software Built on Lane-First Logic

    Here’s the problem: most systems start with staff assignments, not the lane. But at your range, the lane is the bottleneck.

    Imagine this: A customer books a lane online for 2:00 PM. With Bizzflo, that lane is instantly reserved. No double-booking, no arguments at check-in, no staff wasting time shuffling paperwork. The system automatically aligns staff, instructors, and resources after the lane is secured.

    The benefits:

    • Zero conflicts at the counter.
    • Happier customers who trust their booking is safe.
    • Staff freed up to focus on safety, not scheduling.

     👉 That’s what lane-first logic delivers: peace of mind for both you and your shooters.

    Shooting Range POS That Works with Scheduling

     

    Your range isn’t just about walk-ins. You’re managing:

    • Public lane reservations
    • Certification classes
    • Private instruction
    • Group events and member nights

    Without the right tools, these layers collide. With Bizzflo’s scheduling engine, you can reserve a block of lanes for a class while keeping the rest open for public check-ins and online bookings. Instructors are locked to the right sessions, and the calendar stays conflict-free.

    The benefits:

    • Every lane generates revenue, whether it’s a single shooter or a group event.
    • Customers never feel second-class because someone else “took their spot.”
    • Your team stays confident instead of overwhelmed.

    Firearm Range Software for Rentals & Classes


    Rentals are one of your highest-margin services—but they can be a nightmare if inventory isn’t synced.

    With Bizzflo, customers can reserve both a lane and a rental firearm in one booking. Stock levels update automatically, and eligibility rules (like age or membership status) are enforced at checkout.

    The benefits:

    • No risk of double-renting a firearm.
    • Faster transactions at the counter.
    • More upsells: ammo, targets, and accessories tied to the same booking.

    “Before Bizzflo, we constantly had confusion over rental inventory. Now, every reservation is airtight. Customers love the one-step booking process.” — Range Owner

    Firing Range Software KPIs to Track

    As a business owner, you can’t improve what you can’t measure. Bizzflo doesn’t just schedule—it gives you the metrics that matter most.

    • Lane Utilization (%) – See exactly how many lane-hours you’re filling.
    • Revenue per Lane Hour (RPLH) – Know what every open lane is worth.
    • Rental Attach Rate – Track how often customers add rentals to their bookings.
    • No-Show % – Identify when you need tighter grace policies.

    The benefits:

    • Make smarter pricing decisions.
    • Prove ROI on events and classes.
    • Spot revenue leaks before they become problems.

    Walk-Ins vs. Reservations: Serve Both Without Chaos

    Walk-ins are part of the business—but they shouldn’t throw your whole day off.

    With Bizzflo:

    • Staff see a real-time lane availability dashboard.
    • Walk-ins are checked into the next open slot instantly.
    • No-shows are auto-released after your grace period.

    The benefits:

    • Customers don’t wait in long lines.
    • Your team stays in control, not reactive.
      Every lane stays productive.

    Compliance & Bound Book—Handled Where It Matters

    For FFL ranges, compliance isn’t optional. Bizzflo bakes it into the flow of operations:

    • Sales and rentals tie directly to customer records.
    • Digital trails align with your bound book processes.
    • Retail, range, and inventory stay synced without extra paperwork.

    The benefits:

    • Less manual entry, fewer errors.
    • Faster customer service without compliance risks.
    • Confidence that your records are always in order.

    What You Can Run from One Platform

    Instead of juggling multiple tools, run your entire operation from one login:

    • Gun range scheduling (lanes, classes, instructors, events)
    • Shooting range POS & gun store POS (ammo, targets, accessories, memberships)
    • Inventory & rentals (models, serials, availability)
    • Memberships & packages (pricing tiers, renewals, punch cards)
    • Reporting & KPIs (utilization, RPLH, no-show %)

    No bolt-ons, no confusion—just a unified system that scales with your business.

    Implementation Checklist (Quick Start)

    Getting started is simple:

    1. Define lanes (bays, calibers, constraints, buffers).
    2. Publish durations & pricing (30/60/90 min, peak/off-peak).
    3. Load rentals (models, eligibility rules).
    4. Map classes (instructors, rosters, lane blocks).
    5. Configure walk-in flow (grace times, auto-release).
    6. Connect POS upsells (ammo, targets, rentals).
    7. Track your KPIs and grow smarter every month.
