A till at the desk of your boxing gym
A boxing gym sells more at the front desk than most gyms do. Wraps, tape, bottles, gloves, the occasional shirt, and all of it between training sessions. Often that runs through a separate till or even a cash drawer with a notebook.
As long as those sales sit apart from your member administration, your revenue does not add up and you know of no single member what they are really worth. Below is what changes when you tie the two together.
In short
- Loose sales and membership fees in one system means one revenue figure instead of two.
- Ringing up a sale against a member's name makes revenue per member visible.
- At REQUR a card transaction costs €0.07 and the till is part of the €39.99 plan.
- If you also sell through a vending machine, it can take contactless payments the same way.
One revenue figure instead of two
With a separate till you have two sources at the end of the month: the membership fees from your member system and the desk sales from your till. Those have to be brought together by hand, and in practice that happens late or halfway.
With the till in the same system there is one revenue overview holding memberships, class passes and loose sales together. Your bookkeeping gets one stream delivered rather than two.
Ringing up against a name
The biggest gain sits in something small: tying a sale to the member who makes it. Then you see not only that three hundred euros of wraps went over the counter this month, but also who is buying.
That changes your conversation with a member. Somebody buying tape and bottles every month is demonstrably engaged; somebody who suddenly stops and also shows up less is a cancellation in the making.
Selling memberships at the desk too
At a boxing gym a new member often walks in after training with a friend. At that moment you want to sign them up, not hand them a form to fill in at home.
With a till that also sells memberships you close it at the desk: pick a membership, set up the mandate, pay straight away and install the app before they are out of the door. That saves you half the sign-ups that otherwise die in the car park.
What it costs
At REQUR the till is part of the €39.99 a month plan, so there is no separate POS module to buy. A card transaction at the desk costs €0.07, and you buy the terminals outright.
If you also sell through a machine in the room, it can take contactless payments the same way, so that revenue lands in the same overview.

Class passes that expire, memberships that roll on and trial classes that go nowhere: three things that break your administration.
Notice periods and automatic renewal of memberships
After the first year, a tacitly renewed membership can as a rule be cancelled monthly. Here is what that means for your membership types.
Switching systems: what happens to your direct debit mandates?
The question that holds up every switch: do my members have to authorise me again? Usually no, provided the right things travel with you.
