Self-service options aren’t just a nice-to-have, they’re something consumers expect. In fact, 88% of online shoppers prefer using self-service options. So, now is the time to incorporate self-service functionality into your venue to take pressure off your staff and elevate your guest experience.
Read on to discover ways to streamline your operations through ROLLER’s self-service features.The value of time at attraction venues
Time is a precious commodity at attraction venues. Every moment guests spend waiting in line is a missed opportunity for fun. So, for venue operators, efficiently managing time means happier guests, which can result in an improved bottom line through positive word-of-mouth referrals and repeat visits.
Another factor that makes time crucial for attraction venues is labor costs. Any task that absorbs staff time can be seen as costly. So, it's crucial to streamline operations in any way you can. Fewer hurdles in day-to-day operations means staff can focus on the truly important things, like ensuring your guests are having a great time.

ROLLER's self-service solutions
Online bookings
Long queues and fun days out don’t gel together. Given the option, many guests prefer to book their tickets ahead of time.
ROLLER helps venues achieve this by offering a seamless online checkout process with integrated payments, allowing guests to select a product or experience and pay using their preferred method in just a few clicks.
By incorporating smooth online bookings into your operations, you can reduce the volume of phone calls and emails you have to respond to while increasing ticket sales through online conversion. Talk about a win-win.
We’re making money while we sleep. We get an extra $600-$700 per day from online bookings.

Another benefit of mobile ordering is that your guests will love it. Visitors won’t have to spend time lining up to order and will be free to browse your menu at their leisure.

Online accounts
Plans change all the time, so make it easy for your guests to alter their bookings with online accounts.

Each of the above points will reduce the time you and your staff spend on the phone or reading and replying to emails. On top of saving you time, online accounts also reduce customer pain points by giving them more control.
ROLLER’s new online accounts feature is phenomenal. Our guests have the flexibility to edit their bookings when it suits them, rather than having to get in touch with our call center. Not only is it increasing customer satisfaction, but it’s saving us time and money on labor. We’ve already had almost 1,500 guests create online accounts in just a few months.
