Creating Your First Club in IZI

Creating a club is the first practical step inside IZI after registering as an owner and setting up an organization. At this stage you define the club’s basic record: its name, location, billing currency, operating hours, and contact information. Once saved, you gain access to zones, devices, tariffs, and the register — all the modules that turn the club from a record in the system into a working venue.

What you’ll need

Before clicking “Create club,” have the following ready:

• A verified owner account (Owner role) and a created organization — without this, the “Create club” button is inactive.
• The club name — what administrators see in the side menu and players see on receipts. Usually the name displayed to players (what’s on the sign).
• The club’s contact phone number — appears in the player card and outbound notifications.
• The address with country and city — used in receipts, exports, and club selection in the IZI mobile app.
• A map pin — coordinates are required for the club to appear correctly in the mobile app and navigation.
• The currency for cash and card payments (acquiring means accepting bank card payments). Changing it after the first transactions requires a full re-evaluation of tariffs and player balances.
• Time zone and operating hours — determine when shifts auto-open and close, and when tariff schedules are active.
• Optional: a club cover image and interior photos (JPG/PNG/WEBP). These appear in the club card in the app and on landing pages when links are shared.

If some data isn’t available yet (e.g. the final name), use a working version — renaming the club in settings is possible at any time.

How to create a club

Creating a club is a single modal form — not a step-by-step wizard. You fill it out once and click Save. The form is divided into semantic sections you can navigate with Next and Back, but it’s one form, not separate screens.

1. Open the club creation form

In the side menu, switch to the organization level and go to the Clubs section. Click Create club above the club list (or ”+” if at least one club already exists). A modal will open with the title “Create club.”

If the button is greyed out or missing, your role lacks the “Create clubs” permission. Open the Roles & Access section in organization settings and add the permission, or log in as the owner.

2. Fill in the basic information

In the top section of the form:

• Club name — a short, readable name visible to administrators in the header and to players on receipts. Keep legal entity names for contracts.
• Phone — contact number in international format (e.g. +971501234567). Used in SMS notifications, the player-facing club card, and receipts.
• Description — a short text about the club for the mobile app card (can be filled in later).

3. Enter the address and map location

In the Location block:

• Country — selected manually from a list. Determines the default currency and phone format.
• City — city name as it should appear on receipts and the club card.
• Address — street, building, unit. Appears in exports and fiscal documents.
• Address hint — a short note like “entrance from courtyard,” “3rd floor of the mall,” “above the convenience store.” Shown to players in the app next to the address.
• Map location — required field. Drag the marker to the exact club location. Without coordinates the form cannot be saved, because the club won’t appear on the map in the mobile app.

4. Set the schedule, currency, and time zone

In the Club Operations block:

• Operating hours — a free-text field. Describe the schedule in words: “24/7,” “Mon–Thu 10:00–02:00, Fri–Sun 24/7,” “10:00–23:00 daily.” There is no structured day-by-day calendar at this step — that comes later in tariff schedules and shifts.
• Currency — selected from a list. Affects price display in tariffs and bar orders, balance credits and debits, revenue consolidation in organization analytics, and receipt format. The system does not allow changing currency after the first transactions and sessions.
• Time zone — selected by region (Europe, Asia, Americas, Africa, Oceania). It determines day boundaries in analytics, automatic shift opening and closing, and when tariff schedules are active.

5. Upload cover and interior photos (optional)

In the Media block:

• Cover — one image for the club card and landing page (JPG/PNG/WEBP). This is the first thing a player sees when a link is shared.
• Interior photos — multiple images of the hall, reception, zones. Shown in the club card gallery in the mobile app.

Media can be skipped here and added later via Club Settings.

6. Save the club

Click Save at the bottom of the form. A notification appears confirming creation, the modal closes, and the newly created club becomes active in the side menu. The Hall, Devices, Zones, Tariffs, Shift, Clients, Team, and Club Settings sections become available.

If Save doesn’t respond — check for unfilled required fields highlighted in red. Most common causes: empty name, no country selected, no time zone selected, no currency selected, no map pin placed.

What to do next

After creating the club, four more base steps are needed before the club can accept its first player:

1. Set up hall zones — VIP, Pro, Standard, or custom names. See Club zones and their purpose.
2. Connect devices — install the IZI client on each PC and link it to a zone. See Connecting your first PC.
3. Create tariffs — hourly, multipass, night, promo. See Creating your first tariff.
4. Add staff — administrators, bartenders, cashiers with the right roles. See Adding staff.

After this, the first shift opens from the Hall section and the club is ready to accept players.
