The Zoomline™ service is available for anyone who is a Zoomline™ member. There is absolutely no cost for membership, and Zoomline™ does not discriminate from anyone accessing membership. Those that are Zoomline™ members, simply have a choice to pay a premium to by-pass the wait.
Just as a business owner sets a value on their menu items and/or their door cover charge, the merchant is capable of charging whatever value he feels is fair. If customers feel the price is too high, they certainly have the option to wait in line.
In the instance that you are already at capacity, those customers that have purchased Zoomline™, will be offered first access to the venue as people leave. There is no difference with how the restaurant owner, or club owner currently deals with this issue; the merchant will simply draw next entry from the Zoomline™, as opposed to the regular line.
The reason that people will leave is not because of Zoomline™, it will be because they have been waiting too long to begin with. In fact, adding Zoomline™ service will actually make more customers happy. With Zoomline™, customers now have the option to skip the line removing a very common complaint and point of frustration for many customers.
Many restaurant chains have done away with reservations due to the 20% to 40% no show rate. The revenue dollars lost to an empty, or reserved table, that fails to produce revenue, can result in tens of thousands of dollars per year, per restaurant. Zoomline™ is a better alternative, because you are able to avoid lost revenues from no show patrons, ensuring you have full tables on a first come first serve basis, while still offering a premium pass for those top spenders that would otherwise walk away if faced with a 35 minute wait. Zoomline™ will replace reservations, allowing anyone the option to walk up and be seated at the next available table, without the need for a reservation.
A full on-line training program, will be available on the merchant page of the Zoomline™.com website.
Without having to modify your business footprint, and without having to sink any additional costs into your business, you will be able to increase the transaction revenue per customer. Unlike Groupon or other similar coupon promotions, that require you to give away product or services, resulting in lowering your transaction revenue per customer, Zoomline™ is all upside, and simply caters to those who put a premium on their time. Zoomline™ also uses geo coding on the user's smart phone, to identify where they are and what merchants are offering Zoomline™ that are close by. The user can pick from a number of services, ie get grub, get groovin, etc. Your establishment will come up as a location that honors Zoomline™, which differentiates your club or restaurant from others by offering an additional value add. Also, your promotional materials will appear on their smart phone, when they pick your location. Zoomline™ will also be improving your Search engine optimization by creating more hits, therefore driving your positioning up on a google search. Zoomline's™ social media, and social business strategies will naturally promote your business potentially increasing your market share.

The QR code that is downloaded for each individual member is packed full of information. Zoomline™ will build a very large demographic database using the information provided by members when they sign up. In addition, as members use Zoomline™, the database will be updated to provide additional analytics on member usage patterns that can be used by merchants for targeting marketing tactics. For example, if our merchants are interested in knowing which Zoomline™ members within a 30 mile radius frequent Steak Houses twice a month, that information will be available to the merchant. The merchant will then have the ability to send coupons, or discounts to that specific Zoomline™ member's inbox, enticing them to frequent their location more.
The merchant has the ability to instantly change the Zoomline™ price point, in order to adjust the length of Zoomline™. The merchant is capable of viewing how many Zoomline™ passes have been purchased and how many have been redeemed. If he sees that 25 Zoomline™ passes were just purchased and only two have been redeemed so far, it is in the merchants' best interest to increase the price of Zoomline™, deterring the number of Zoomline™ customers. If however the Merchant has just adjusted the price from $20 per pass, to $50 per pass and the Zoomline™ purchases do not slow down, the merchant will not only benefit from the additional $30 per person, but they can increase it again until they find the dollar value that allows them to control the numbers in the Zoomline™. Over time, merchants can use analytical tools to determine what the optimal Zoomline™ price is at various times during the week, allowing the merchant to optimize revenue while ensuring the Zoomline™ keeps moving.
The merchant will be given marketing materials to be used by their staff to help promote Zoomline™ at the establishment. In addition, Zoomline™ will be marketed directly to customers to ensure they are aware of the Zoomline™ service.
Zoomline™ hardware consists only of a smart phone, with the merchant application on it. As long as anyone with either an Android or Iphone is present, the service will be operational.
Many current Zoomline™ merchants, have established an incentive program for their Doormen, providing them with a portion of whatever revenues come in from Zoomline™. This has helped the doorman with promoting the service, and also ensures that the merchant also shares in the exchange of dollars that currently they are missing out on when the doorman is being paid "under the table" with cash at the door for immediate entry.
As consumers experience a greater squeeze on their time, short waits seem longer than ever before. The changing demographics of the last ten years have made individuals' time more valuable now than it has been in decades. Americans today work longer, more varied hours than they have since World War II. Due to stagnating wages and a drastic unemployment shift, Americans have been forced to work overtime or hold second jobs in order to maintain their middle-class lifestyles. This has resulted in American's weekly leisure time declining from 26.2 hours to 16.6 hours. These economic pressures have shifted consumer values placing greater value on their free time.
Certain customers value their time very highly. If you can offer them a service that allows them to avoid wasting time standing in line, they will not only appreciate you for offering the service but they will be more than happy to pay a fee for access to this service.
