Hospitality operators are increasingly looking for ways to generate reliable revenue, strengthen guest loyalty, and deliver memorable experiences. One of the most effective strategies is the use of memberships and subscriptions. During our recent webinar, Unlocking Recurring Revenue with GoTab Memberships and Subscriptions, the GoTab team shared practical insights, case studies, and a live demonstration of how operators can launch and scale these programs.

GoTab has always embraced innovation, a fact recently underscored when a Singaporean internship candidate called us “a pioneer in the use of QR codes in the US.” That same spirit of forward thinking is now shaping pickleball venues across the country. With nearly 20 million players and tens of thousands of new courts, the sport is booming—but the real growth lies in how operators are transforming clubs into full social destinations with food, beverage, and events. This week’s newsletter explores the partnerships, tools, and strategies fueling the next generation of pickleball clubs.
Pickleball is booming, but the game itself is only part of the revenue equation. The real growth engine for pickleball venues lies in how they combine play with hospitality. From casual leagues to corporate outings and social mixers, food and beverage sales, event packages, and efficient operations often determine whether a night of pickleball is fun AND profitable.
Pickleball has exploded in popularity, and courts are filling up across the country. But operators are realizing something critical: courts alone don’t pay the bills. What separates the thriving venues from the rest is how they blend sport with hospitality. Food and beverage (F&B) offerings are emerging as the true engine of growth, delivering steady revenue streams that extend beyond court rentals and ensure long-term viability.
