Strip Club Software

Most clubs in this business run on four separate ledgers, and at least two of them are on paper.

The house ledger — who worked, who paid their house fee, who is short. The room ledger — VIP time, who was in it, what it billed. The stage ledger — rotation, who got the good slots, who got Tuesday at one in the morning. The bar ledger — the only one that usually has a system behind it.

They do not reconcile, because nothing joins them. That is the actual problem, and it is not a POS problem.

tasteck is a booking and analytics system for night venues, built by people who ran them for sixteen years and grew from ¥200 million to ¥1.2 billion a year. Every other product in this category was built by a software company.

What a club needs that a restaurant system cannot do

A restaurant system assumes staff are on payroll and guests are anonymous. Neither is true here.

Entertainers are usually independent, paying in rather than being paid out
Room time is sold by the minute and settled per person, not per table
Regulars are the business, and they follow individuals, not the room
Cash moves in three directions on the same night

The third line is the one that decides whether a club grows. A guest who comes back for a particular entertainer is worth several times a walk-in, and when that entertainer leaves, so does the guest — unless you knew the relationship existed before it walked out.

The four ledgers, joined

House fees. Who worked, what the fee was that night, paid or owed. Fee schedules differ by shift, by day, by tenure. When it lives on a clipboard, the arguments are about memory rather than about the number.

Stage rotation. Who is on, in what order, in which slot. Fairness in rotation is one of the most common reasons entertainers leave for the club down the road, and it is entirely a record-keeping problem. A rotation nobody can review is a rotation everyone suspects.

VIP rooms. Time in, time out, who, what it billed. tasteck holds rooms as first-class objects with assignment and duration, so utilisation by room and by hour is a query rather than an estimate.

Settlement. Broken out by line — room time, extensions, drinks, options, transport, discounts and events — per person, with a payment statement. The end-of-night conversation starts from a number both sides can see.

Guest records that survive the night

This is the part most clubs do not have, and it is where the money is.

A guest record that persists across visits lets you answer: who has not been in for six weeks, who came for whom, and which source actually sent the people who came back. Without it, every night starts from zero and marketing spend is a guess.

Guests are classified — first-time, early-repeat, steady, surge, top-tier — each split into active or lapsed. A decline in your top tier shows up here weeks before it reaches the takings, because top-tier guests do not stop coming all at once; they stretch the gap.

Retention, measured properly

Headcount retention lies in this business. A club with forty entertainers on the roster where three carry a third of the floor does not have a forty-person retention problem.

Retention = shifts this month worked by people also here last month
          ÷ total shifts this month

Weight by shifts, not by heads. The number usually moves fifteen to thirty points, and the version that moves is the one that matches what the floor feels.

And because availability is submitted through the system in 30-minute blocks, the submission itself is the record. Someone quietly narrowing their availability is visible two to four weeks before they give notice — which is the only window in which anything can be done about it.

What it does not do

It is not a POS and does not replace one. It does not process card payments or handle cash drawers. It does not manage tip-out splits between DJ, house mom and security — those rules differ too much between clubs to encode honestly.

It also does not decide your fee schedule or your rotation policy. It records what you decided and shows you what it produced.

The output no one else produces

tasteck outputs the maximum you can spend on each marketing channel next month, as an amount in your currency.

Not a chart. An amount. The lifetime value of the guests each source actually delivered, times your target margin, minus a reinvestment reserve — per channel, per month.

In this business the figure has a second use. Because guests attach to individuals, the same calculation shows what a departing entertainer takes with her — which turns a retention argument from a feeling into a figure.

Measured against every vendor listed on Japan's principal nightlife-industry directory, nothing else in the category outputs it.

Ask it from ChatGPT

tasteck connects to ChatGPT over MCP. Ask your numbers as a question and the answer comes back in the chat — VIP room utilisation last Saturday, who is behind on house fees, which regulars have gone quiet.

The same interface is callable from anywhere rather than being tied to one assistant.

Multi-language is built in — the operating surface itself, with your language set during onboarding.

Pricing

Up to 2 clubs    from $34 / month
10 clubs         from $100 / month
25 clubs         from $200 / month

Billing is per club, not per entertainer. A roster that doubles for the season costs the same. Thirty days free on every plan, cancel any time.

Questions we get

Our entertainers are independent contractors. Does that break anything? No. Settlement is per person with a statement, which is what an independent contractor needs at the end of the night. The system records what was earned and what was owed; it does not classify anyone's employment status for you.

We keep guest information deliberately thin. Then keep it thin. The classification above works on visit history and spend alone — no personal detail is required for returning share, lapse detection or channel attribution. What you choose to store beyond that is your call and your jurisdiction's.

Everything is cash. Is this useful? The guest record and the settlement breakdown do not care how the money moved. What changes is that the night's numbers exist somewhere other than one person's memory.

How long does setup take? Clubs, rooms, fee structure, roster. Most of it is one sitting. What takes longer is deciding what you want to measure, and that is worth doing before rather than after.
