Combo Sets in Your Club Catalog: Grow AOV with Bundled Packages in IZI

Section titled “Combo Sets in Your Club Catalog: Grow AOV with Bundled Packages in IZI”

A combo set is a catalog item that groups multiple products or services into one listing — for example, a gaming time tariff plus a bar drink. The admin closes the sale in a single action; the guest sees one unified package price. In IZI CRM, combos live in Catalog → Combo Sets and appear immediately at the front desk and in the IZI mobile app.

The job of a combo is not just to offer a discount — it is to raise your average order value (AOV): the average spend per visit. A guest who sees a ready “2 hours + energy drink” package tends to add the drink, whereas the same guest buying a tariff alone rarely circles back to the bar. A pre-built bundle removes the decision effort and creates a perception of value. That dynamic works at the front desk, in the app, and in group scenarios where a “bundle for two” feels like a natural choice.

All components sold through a combo are attributed to their own categories in club analytics: tariff revenue goes to gaming time, drink revenue goes to bar. This keeps your management reports accurate without any extra bookkeeping.

Higher AOV without discounting your core tariff

Section titled “Higher AOV without discounting your core tariff”

A combo is not a discount campaign — it is a volume tool. The guest who came to play for an hour sees a package that costs a bit more but includes a drink already. Many accept because the decision is already made for them.

How to estimate the effect for your club:

  1. Find your current AOV from the analytics section. If you do not have this number yet, the IZI analytics overview will give it to you.
  2. Estimate what share of guests buy only gaming time with nothing else — typically 60–70% of traffic.
  3. If even 15–20% of those guests start choosing a “tariff + item” combo, your AOV rises by several percentage points without acquiring new customers.

A combo discount of 8–12% off the sum of the components reads as a genuine saving to the guest while staying profitable. At a gaming time margin of 65–70% and a bar margin of 50–60%, a package at that discount level remains positive. Always calculate from your own prices — do not rely on absolute numbers that vary by market.

Instead of the admin selecting a tariff, then a drink, then confirming payment in separate steps, a combo is one catalog item, one transaction. During peak hours the difference is visible: a shorter queue at reception directly affects how guests perceive the club.

Built-in visibility for bar and peripherals

Section titled “Built-in visibility for bar and peripherals”

Guests know about gaming time but rarely spontaneously add bar items. A combo puts the bar inside the buying flow — the guest does not need to be sold separately on a drink because it is already in the package. This is especially valuable for first-time visitors who have not yet explored what the club offers.

Open Catalog → Combo Sets and create a new set. You pick items from existing catalog categories — tariffs, bar products, any other items — and set a package price. The final price can be lower than the sum of the components, equal to it, or even higher if the combo carries extra value (such as a priority seat or a reserved PC).

When a combo is sold, each component is deducted from the appropriate source: tariff time from the tariff pool, drinks from bar stock. Inventory is tracked exactly as it is for individual sales — no separate accounting needed for combos.

IZI gives you three visibility dimensions for each combo:

  • Front desk (admin view) — the admin sees the combo in the catalog list when processing a visit.
  • Client mobile app — guests browse active combos and can choose one independently.
  • Client group restriction — to show a combo only to a specific segment (VIP members, registered players, new guests), link the combo to a client group in the visibility settings.

Selling a combo does not create a separate “combo revenue” bucket. Each component flows into its own revenue category, which is the right approach for management accounting: you see how much the club earns on gaming time and how much on the bar without blending categories.

In Catalog → Statistics (or in the sales report) you can see how many times each combo was purchased as a package. Use this to assess which bundles are working and whether the composition or price needs adjusting.

The most widespread combo type. Take a popular tariff — one or two hours — and add one or two bar items: an energy drink, coffee, water. Set the package price with a small discount off the total.

Parametrically: if your base ARPU per visit is X and the bar item typically adds 15–20% to X, then a combo priced at X × 1.12–1.15 (instead of the full X + 20%) gives the guest a sense of saving and gives the club an AOV lift at the same footfall.

“2 PCs + 2 drinks” sold as one package. Guests arriving together do not have to think through each item; they pick the “bundle for two.” The admin processes one line item instead of four. This format also encourages groups to commit to a time block rather than playing indefinitely.

For clubs that run tournaments: competitive time tariff plus a snack or drink. Participants pick it up at registration — they know the package covers everything they need. Creating a dedicated combo per tournament format also simplifies post-event revenue accounting.

For new guests, you can offer a combo with a slightly more generous discount — tariff + bar item + a small gift such as a free-hour token. It pairs well with the top-up bonus program: the new guest gets the impression that the club takes care of customers from the very first interaction.

Restrict this combo’s visibility to the “new guest” client group so regular players cannot use first-visit pricing on repeat visits.

  1. Open Catalog → Combo Sets in your club CRM.
  2. Create a new set — give it a name that is meaningful to both guest and admin. “Evening Starter” or “Gamer Pack” communicates more than “Combo_2h+B”.
  3. Add components — select items from your existing catalog categories. Each item is added as a separate line.
  4. Set the package price — the system shows you the sum of the components; you set the final price. It can be equal, lower, or higher depending on the value proposition.
  5. Configure visibility — choose where the combo appears: front desk, client app, which client groups can see it.
  6. Save and run a test sale — have the admin process a test transaction and confirm that all components deduct correctly and the report looks right.
  7. Check results in 2–3 weeks — compare AOV before and after the combo launch. If the lift is below expectation, adjust the composition or price.

Too many combos at once. Twelve different combos in the catalog confuse both admins and guests. Start with two or three logical packages, measure sales, then expand.

Discount deeper than your margin. A 30–40% discount on a low-margin tariff can easily turn a combo unprofitable. Calculate the margin on each component before setting the package price.

Names that say nothing. “Combo 1”, “Package A”, “Standard Bundle” are internal labels, not selling names. A name should be self-explanatory without context: “2 Hours + Energy Drink” tells the guest exactly what they get.

Forgotten active combos. You create a combo for a promotion, the promotion ends, the combo stays active. Review your active combo list monthly and deactivate anything that is no longer relevant — otherwise admins keep selling outdated packages.

No follow-up on analytics. Launching a combo without checking whether it sells is wasted effort. Set a reminder to review sales statistics for each combo two weeks after launch.

Combos work in conjunction with other IZI catalog features:

  • Tariffs — the core component of most combos. If a tariff price changes, update the combo price accordingly.
  • Discounts and promotions — promo codes and discounts apply to combos just as they do to individual items, enabling “combo + extra 10% off” campaigns.
  • Client groups — segmentation lets you target combos at the right audience.
  • Top-up bonuses — loyalty points are awarded on combo purchases the same way as on regular top-ups, adding another reason for guests to choose a package.

Frequently asked questions

What is a combo set in IZI?

A combo set is a catalog item that bundles several products or services — for example, a gaming time tariff plus a drink plus a snack — into a single listing with one unified price. The admin sells it in one click; the guest gets a ready package that feels cheaper than buying each item separately.

Should a combo be priced below the sum of its parts?

Usually yes, but keep the gap reasonable. A discount of 8–12% off the combined price works well when your gaming time margin is 65–70%: the package stays profitable while the guest perceives real value. The primary goal is not the discount itself — it is raising average order value (AOV) so each visit generates more revenue without adding footfall.

Can I build a combo from products only, with no tariff?

Yes. A combo can include any catalog items: bar stock, snacks, peripherals — no gaming tariff required. This is useful for team snack bundles or tournament packages that include beverages.

How do combos appear in sales analytics?

Each component is split into its own category in reports: the tariff goes into gaming time revenue, the drink goes into bar revenue. In Catalog → Statistics you can also see how many times a specific combo was sold as a package and its total contribution to revenue.

Can I restrict a combo to certain times of day?

Time restrictions are set on the tariff inside the combo, not on the combo itself. If the included tariff is only valid before 18:00, the entire combo becomes unavailable in the evening automatically.

How do I set up a combo for VIP clients only?

Create a separate combo and restrict its visibility to a specific client group in the combo settings. The IZI client groups module lets you tie catalog items — including combos — to defined audience segments.

Do guests see combos in the IZI mobile app?

Yes. Active combo sets appear in the catalog section of the IZI client app as standalone listings showing the package price.

Do I need a separate combo for every promotion?

It depends on the promotion type. For stable, ongoing packages — such as a permanent '2 hours + coffee' deal — create the combo once and keep it active. For one-off events, promo codes or discounts from Catalog → Discounts are more practical than creating and disabling combos for each campaign.

What makes a combo name sell well?

Use names that convey the scenario or the benefit: 'Evening Starter', 'Duo Pack', 'Tournament Bundle'. Avoid technical labels like 'Tariff_3h+Drink_1'. Guests read the name in the app and at the front desk — it should paint a picture.
