ActivityRoster vs Club & membership systems
Great for members and money — staff rostering is an afterthought.
Where Club & membership systems is a good fit
- Membership records, subscriptions and renewals
- Public course booking and payments
- Communications to members
Where ActivityRoster wins for RYA centres
- These systems focus on members and bookings; instructor rostering, qualifications and safety cover are thin or absent.
- ActivityRoster is the staff-side counterpart — who's qualified, who's available, who's on which session, and whether it's safe.
- It complements a booking system rather than replacing it: you run the rota, they take the money.
