Club Ecosystem
10 stakeholder types
Clubs are the foundation of organized pétanque. Run almost entirely by volunteers, they need efficient tools to manage members, finances, facilities, communications, and events.

Platform Features

Motivation
Organizational excellence, supporting the club's mission.
Needs

Platform Features
Bar/Catering Staff
The bar is often the primary source of revenue and the social heart of the club.
Motivation
Supporting the club financially, social interaction.
Needs
- Shift planning with self-service swaps and time-clock so bar rotas stay covered without the manager rebuilding them every week
