Club software for cricket pavilions, golf clubs and traditional members clubs
From a village cricket club in Sussex to a Pall Mall members club, the workflows are different but the principle is the same: members deserve software that knows them by name. Octave handles VAT, multi-currency, GDPR and SEPA out of the box — built for the European reality, not retrofitted for it.
Every kind of British and European club
Whether your bar runs on Friday-night pints after rugby training or whisky in the smoking room of a Mayfair members club, Octave fits the workflow your committee already has.
Cricket & Rugby Clubs
Pavilion bars, after-match teas, season subs, junior fees and tour funds — all the things a generic pub POS has no idea about.
Golf & Country Clubs
Tee bookings, pro shop, clubhouse dining and house accounts on one member ledger — from Surrey to the Scottish Highlands to the Algarve.
Traditional Members Clubs
Discreet POS for the dining room and the bar. Tiered membership, monthly billing, guest sign-in — the operations behind a refined member experience.
Working Men’s & Social Clubs
CIU clubs, snooker clubs, sports & social clubs — volunteer-friendly POS that handles weekly draws, raffles and the Saturday night meat tray.
VAT, GDPR, multi-currency and a different licensing regime in every country
European clubs operate inside constraints that retail POS vendors prefer to pretend don’t exist. Octave handles them as first-class concerns.
VAT and member pricing
Reduced rates on food, standard rates on alcohol, member discounts that have to apply correctly — without staff doing mental arithmetic at the till.
GDPR & member data
Right to access, right to erasure, lawful basis for processing — member data has to be managed properly or the ICO will eventually ask why.
SEPA direct debit for subs
Annual subs collected by SEPA mandate across the eurozone. Failed payments chased without the treasurer having to ring around.
Multi-currency operations
A reciprocal member from a Spanish club walks in. They want to charge it home. Your books need to handle GBP, EUR and the FX cleanly.
Different licensing per country
UK premises licence, French CHR rules, German Schankrecht — the POS has to log the right things in the right format for each jurisdiction.
Multi-language interface
Bar staff are international and so are members. The till and the member portal need to speak more than one language without forcing a separate database.
Built for European compliance, not bolted on afterward
VAT, GDPR, SEPA, multi-currency and multi-language are part of the platform — not modules you pay extra for and configure yourself.
VAT engine, not a tax field
Reduced and standard rates per category. Different rates per country. Member-priced lines tax-handled correctly. Reconciliation exports for the bookkeeper.
GDPR-ready by default
Member access requests, erasure workflows, consent records, audit log — everything an ICO audit would ask for, available in two clicks.
SEPA & UK Direct Debit
Sub renewals collected automatically across the EU and UK. Failed mandates retried, members notified, no more end-of-year reconciliation crisis.
Multi-currency house accounts
A member spends in GBP at home and EUR on a reciprocal visit — both land on the right account, in the right currency, on the right line.
Multi-language UI
English, French, German, Spanish, Italian, Dutch — staff and members each see the platform in their preferred language without separate logins.
Reciprocal club guests
Visiting members from reciprocal clubs sign in cleanly — their charges route home, FX handled, no awkward conversations at the bar.
