6 Quick Wins to Maximize Your Club’s Holiday Success

The holidays are here, making it the perfect time to ensure your club’s operations and communications shine. These quick tips will help you maximize your MembersFirst software and deliver a smooth, successful season your members will enjoy.

1. Dining Coordination

Dining Blockout

Strategically create a blockout for dining room reservations and ensure smooth operations.

When you create or adjust an event in your Club Calendar of Events module, you'll see an option: “Create Dining Blockout.” After setting your event's timing and facility, hit the button, and a popup will let you review and confirm the details of the blockout. One more click, and you're all set — making your event management smoother and your venues ready for the occasion.
