Bowling packages let you bundle a bowling session with food, drinks, or other extras into a single product. They’re a great way to create group deals, family offers, and promotions while increasing spend per guest.
Encouraging guests to purchase bowling package products can drive higher average order value.
How bowling packages work
A bowling package combines:
- One bowling session product (eg 60 mins bowling, 2 games of bowling).
- One or more additional items, such as food, drinks, merchandise or other extras.
Guests purchase everything together as one product, making it easier to sell a complete experience rather than separate items.
You have the option to set up packages where food, beverage or stock items can be added either as fixed inclusions or as option sets that guests choose from during purchase at checkout or at POS.

- Set up any other optional package inclusions (eg. socks, other merchandise).
- Decide on what bowling session and combination of products to include in your packages.
- Decide whether to create fixed packages (single inclusions) or provide option for guests to choose from a list of items (eg. pizza or burger).
