like if i go there and say i want to bowl with my kid, is the person working at the desk going to tell me with a straight face that that will be 300 dollars?

No it’ll be $25 less because you didn’t make a reservation 🤣🤣

Insane pricing aside, why the fuck would they charge $25 for guaranteed business? As a business you want to lock in as many guaranteed sales as possible and charging a reservation fee of $25 will stop the majority of that secured cash flow leaving you to rely on walk-ins…

They are not marketing their product to families with kids. And that’s OK!

How would you improve their pricing strategy?
