# bindro — Haunted attractions

> bindro sells timed nightly entry for haunted attractions: each night is broken into slots, each slot holds its own inventory, and a brave soul picks a night, picks a time and pays in one page that works on a phone in a car park. Peak nights, early-bird rungs and fast passes are separate tiers with their own prices, windows and stock, and the price is derived on the server every time — a stale page cannot buy a closed rung. The door scans a wristband or a code with no signal at all. Money reaches the haunt two days after the last night of the event it was sold under, never before.

## Facts
- Inventory model: seasonal nightly.
- Pricing models: flat, tiered, early bird, season pass, per person addon.
- Fees: 2.5% + $0.99 per paid entry; free nights cost nothing.
- Payouts: one payout per event, released 2 days after that event's LAST session has ended (low risk tier, 0% reserve). Never before delivery, and a night sold as a run of dates pays out once, after the final date.
- Check-in: wristband, works offline.
- Joining: free, alone, in minutes. No contract, no monthly fee and no card at signup. A payout destination is verified before the first payout, never before the first sale.
- Booking fee default: the brave soul pays it. A haunt can absorb it or split it per night; the fee itself does not change with the choice, only which side of the sale it comes from.
- Overselling is structurally impossible: inventory moves only under a row lock inside the transaction that confirms the order, with a database constraint behind that as a backstop rather than as the mechanism.
- The number this vertical is run on: Revenue per operating night. Also tracked: peak-night sell-out, fast-pass attach rate, throughput per hour. The console computes the north-star figure and prints the arithmetic under it, beside this haunt's own funnel with the drop-off at each stage, where the traffic came from, refund, transfer, turnout, no-show, add-on and repeat rates each shown with its numerator and denominator, gross, fees and refunds per night, live remaining capacity during the night, and CSV exports of orders and brave souls. A step the platform cannot observe says so rather than reporting a zero.
- Data export: orders and brave souls as CSV from the console at any time, behind a fresh one-time code. No export fee, no notice period, no lock-in.
- Required before checkout, enforced on the money path: Intensity, strobe and medical warning acknowledgement; Parent/guardian consent for brave souls under 18.

## Not supported for this vertical
- bindro does not manage your queue. A fast pass is a tier you publish at its own price with its own stock, and selling one is the whole of what the platform does about it — nothing orders the line, calls the next group or holds a place in a virtual queue. Who walks in when is your door team’s job, exactly as it was before.
- bindro does not stop a wristband being used twice. Haunts are configured for single entry, but nothing in the engine refuses a second scan: it is recorded and flagged as a conflict for you to read afterwards, whichever scan point makes it, and the screen says the band has already been used to get in. Turning people back at the exit is a rope-and-staff problem, not a software one, and two offline devices cannot agree in real time without signal.
- bindro does not check anybody’s ID and, for haunts, does not even ask the person scanning to say they checked one. The age rule that is enforced is the booker’s own date of birth, refused before payment; every other age claim on the order is a tick-box the booker made about their party. The photo ID at the gate is yours.
- No waiting list. When a slot is gone the page says "No souls left" and stops — nobody joins a list, nobody is emailed when an entry is refunded, and a refunded entry does not go back on sale by itself. If you want to resell it, raise that slot’s capacity by one.
- No transfers and no name changes. A brave soul who cannot come on Friday cannot hand their entry to a friend or move it to Saturday: this vertical resolves neither ticket transfer nor deferral, and there is no credit note to issue. The only lever is money out — a refund.
- No gift cards or vouchers. A haunt cannot sell "entry for two, use it any night" as stored value on bindro, because gift cards sit in this vertical’s optional list and are therefore refused by the engine. A season pass is the nearest real thing, and it is a ticket type, not a balance.
- No donation box and no charity receipts. Charity haunts raise money on the gate price itself: this vertical does not resolve the donation add-on, so there is no "add a donation" control at checkout, and nothing issues a tax receipt for a gift. The definition of this vertical includes charity haunts; the giving tools do not come with it.
- No group rate and no roster. "Number of brave souls" is a question whose answer is stored and shown to you — it does not price anything and it does not set how many entries you bought. Twelve entries cost twelve times one entry, and each one is its own credential to be handed to its own brave soul.
- No food and drink till. The merch till sells your masks and hoodies; an item marked food or drink is refused on both the catalogue and the sale, because this vertical declares merch only. Your concessions run on whatever you use today.
- Money taken at the till never enters the platform ledger and is never paid out to you — it is already yours. Merch sales and walk-up card sales at the door are recorded so your numbers are complete, and cash-recorded ticket sales are deliberately not implemented at all: crediting your balance for money bindro never held would pay you for it twice.
- bindro does not pay out mid-season. One event gets exactly one payout, scheduled only once its last session has ended and released two days later. A whole October published as a single event therefore pays once, after closing night — publish shorter events if you need the money sooner, and read the pricing guide before you decide, because a season pass only admits at sessions of the event it was sold under.
- bindro cannot enforce your refund policy. Every brave soul can refund themselves in full from the link in their confirmation email, right up to the moment their slot starts — there is no notice window to configure and no fee to withhold. After the slot has started the decision is yours alone, from the console.
