industry expertise at your fingertips

The services provided by House of Play go above and beyond the customer, supplier relationship, and as part of our service we want to give you all the tools needed to run a successful leisure venue and maximise profitability. Through our operational show sites we have developed a fully tailored operations manual which will assist you in ensuring you run an efficient business. We will provide you with the operations manual currently in-place at our venues so you can then tailor this to reflect your intended operating practices.

The operations manual provides detailed instructions on how to perform every duty expected of such a facility so that you and your team can present an efficient service ethic to your customers from day one, and you have ongoing access to our sites and Management team on demand so that you always have a industry expert on hand to answer any of your questions or provide support.

Our team will help you to obtain the relevant Change of Use from your local authority for FREE, with a 99% success rate in 6 years.

PERSONNEL

You will need job descriptions and employment contracts for your venue. We have templates available for the most common roles within a standard soft play, indoor playground and trampoline park environment that you can tailor to suit your requirements.

You will have access to the sample rota’s at our showsites and will be given template documents to tailor this to the requirements of your own facility. This will enable you to track staff hours, costs, and payroll to ensure that your staff overhead is controlled and stays within budget as this is one of the major KPI’s (Key Performance Indicators) and should be the subject of very regular scrutiny. The staff rota is crucial and our knowledge and expertise will assist you to get the correct balance between full time and part time staff.

All of this support and documentation is available FREE of charge.
