The challenge

Registration season is a spreadsheet, a cash box and a waitlist on a sticky note.

Programs fill in minutes, payments come in as cash, checks and a separate portal, and the facility calendar lives in one person's head.

Rosters get rebuilt from paper forms and email at the start of every season.

Program fees are collected one way and facility rentals another, so reconciling takes a second pass.

Two groups ask for the same pavilion on the same Saturday and nobody sees the overlap until the day.

A rained-out program means calling every registrant by hand.

A day in the role

Registration day, hour by hour.

8:00
Registration opens

Residents sign up in the app. Paid programs charge through the same billing engine as every other fee.

8:20
The program fills

Capacity is enforced when the registration is counted. Everyone after that joins the waitlist.

11:00
A pavilion request

Staff see the request and any approved booking that overlaps it before they approve.

1:00
Open the roster

It is the live list of who is registered. There is nothing to export.

5:00
Rain-out notice

One send tells every affected resident, in their language.

The Bloomz difference

Registration that pays in the same app.

A resident who registers for a paid program is charged through the same billing engine that handles permits and facility fees, on their own account. Recreation revenue reaches the same ledger as everything else, and free programs skip billing entirely.

Questions we hear

What parks and recreation teams ask first.

What happens when a program is full?

Residents who register after capacity is reached join a waitlist instead of being turned away, and are promoted as spots open.

Can residents pay online?

Yes, in the app, by card or ACH, with the invoice and receipt kept there. Card and ACH processing fees are passed through.

Does it handle recurring facility bookings?

Not yet. Today a booking is a single request that staff approve or decline.
