For operators who haven't opened yet

Open your golf simulator venue with a full calendar, not a hopeful one.

From the first site visit to your first 90 days of bookings, Revolt builds your venue with you, A to Z. Location, financials, layout, tech, pricing, marketing. One team, one plan, zero guesswork.

Direct relationships with TrackMan, Full Swing, Uneekor, Foresight, GolfZon, GolfJoy and PuttView.

Most venues don't fail after opening. They fail before it.

The mistakes that sink a sim venue get locked in months before the doors open. The wrong location. A lease signed before the numbers were run. Bays squeezed into a space that doesn't fit them. Tech bought on a sales pitch. Pricing copied from a venue two hours away. And a grand opening that starts marketing the week the paint dries.

By the time the owner realizes, the money is spent and the lease is signed.

The 5 most common pre-launch mistakes

  1. 1

    Picking the space first, checking the market second.

    No read on population, demographics or how many sims are already nearby.

  2. 2

    No real financial model.

    Guessing at revenue and missing the summer slump completely.

  3. 3

    Buying tech that doesn't match the customer.

    Overspending for a casual crowd, or underspending for serious golfers.

  4. 4

    Pricing with no strategy.

    No memberships, no leagues, no plan for recurring revenue.

  5. 5

    Marketing starts on opening day.

    Zero waitlist, zero buzz, empty bays for the first month.

We built Open a Venue so you skip every one of these.

9 stages. 3 phases. One team from site visit to sold-out bays.

Every venue we open goes through the same proven path. Nothing gets skipped, nothing gets guessed.

  1. Plan it

    Know it will work before you sign anything

  2. Build it

    Build the venue and the business behind it

  3. Launch it

    Open with demand already waiting

Plan it

01

Market & Site Selection

Outcome

Open in a location that can actually support a sim venue.

What we do

  • Research the area's demographics, income levels and population density
  • Map every simulator already operating nearby, so you know the real supply
  • Score each potential site with our location ranking system
  • Connect you with commercial real estate agents to find the space and negotiate the lease

You walk away with: a scored location report and a shortlist of spaces worth touring.

02

Financial Model

Outcome

Know your numbers, your break-even and your payback before you spend a dollar.

What we do

  • Startup budget: simulators, buildout, leasehold improvements, furniture, F&B setup, signage, permits and opening inventory
  • Revenue forecast: bays x open hours x utilization x price, split across hourly bookings, memberships, leagues, lessons, events and F&B
  • Seasonality: month-by-month projections that plan for the summer slump, not ignore it
  • Operating costs: rent, staff (or staffless), software, utilities, insurance and marketing
  • Break-even and payback: how many booked hours per week you need, and how many months until you're profitable
  • 3 scenarios: conservative, expected and best case

You walk away with: a 3-year, lender-ready financial model you can take to the bank, an investor or a landlord.

03

Facility & Bay Layout

Outcome

A space designed to fit the most bays and run smoothly every day.

What we do

  • Work out exactly how many bays your space can fit, with the right ceiling height, depth and width per bay
  • Build a full 3D model of your venue before construction starts
  • Plan the flow: entry, check-in, lounge, bar or F&B, washrooms and bays
  • Design around how you'll operate, whether that's a staffed venue or a 24/7 staffless model with keyless entry and cameras

You walk away with: a 3D floor plan and bay layout your contractor can build from.

05

Offer & Pricing Architecture

Outcome

A clear plan for what you sell and what you charge, built to create recurring revenue.

07

Pre-Launch Demand Test

This is for you if...

  • You're planning to open an indoor golf sim venue in the next 6 to 18 months
  • You have the capital or financing lined up, or are actively securing it
  • You want it done right the first time, not learned the hard way
  • You'd rather follow a proven plan than piece it together from YouTube
  • You're opening a staffed venue, a 24/7 staffless venue, or a hybrid

This isn't for you if...

  • You already have a venue open (see our Grow a Venue offer)
  • You're still just toying with the idea
  • You want the cheapest option, not the right one
  • You want to DIY every decision yourself
  • You're adding a single sim to a home or garage
