When the horn blows for lightning, the course stops. Groups head for shelter or sit in their carts, and nobody knows how long it will last. Orders on a fixed schedule keep coming due, so food gets made for golfers who are nowhere near the turn. With Foreturn IQ, prep follows where each group actually is.
Run a Pilot at Your Course| Fixed pickup times | Pre-order with Foreturn IQ | |
|---|---|---|
| When play stops | Tickets keep counting down to the original pickup time. | A group that isn't getting closer doesn't move up the queue. |
| When play resumes | The kitchen guesses who is coming and when. | Prep windows tighten again as groups start moving toward you. |
| Food made early | Sits under a heat lamp or gets thrown out. | Less is made early, because prep waits for the group. |
| Groups that call it a day | Food made for golfers who went home. | Cancel the order from the queue and the golfer gets a full refund to their card. |
Prep tied to where golfers are, not to a time set before the weather turned.
The prep window tightens only as a golfer gets closer, so a group sitting out a lightning hold on the back nine isn't pushed to Prepare Now by the clock.
As groups start moving again, their tickets move up in the order they're actually approaching, so the kitchen isn't hit with every delayed order at once.
Burgers and fries made for a group stuck in shelter usually get thrown out. Firing to real arrival means less is made before anyone can eat it.
If a group calls it a day, cancel the order from the queue and they get a full refund to their card, service fee included.
For every golfer sharing location, the queue adjusts on its own.
They order before the round or from the cart and allow location, so their ticket follows where they are.
While groups sit out the delay, they aren't getting closer, so their prep windows don't tighten.
As each group heads toward pickup, its ticket moves up and the kitchen fires it as they approach.
Their orders run on the estimated arrival time, like any scheduled order, so they still come due on the clock during a delay. Keep an eye on those tickets, or cancel and refund them from the queue if the group heads in.
Turn items off in the admin panel and golfers stop seeing them right away. Orders already paid for can be cancelled from the queue with a full refund to the golfer's card, service fee included.
Nothing. Golfers pay a service fee of 5% of their order plus $0.50 at checkout, and your course keeps 100% of its menu prices, plus tax and tips, paid to your own Stripe account.
We set up a pilot around a few tee times so you can see how the queue tracks real arrivals before committing to anything.
