Drive-through light show

Glow Drive

A drive-through light show needed per-vehicle timed entry and a way to pace cars so the route never jammed.

  • Per-car Timed entry
  • -22% No-shows
  • $0 Per-ticket fees

The problem

A holiday drive-through sold per vehicle, not per person, and the route could only absorb so many cars at once. Reservations lived in a spreadsheet, the entry lane backed up onto the road, and no-shows left paid slots empty.

What we built

  • Per-vehicle timed entry with capacity pacing tuned to how fast the route clears.
  • Add-ons at checkout (premium FM soundtrack, hot cocoa pre-order).
  • The SMS & Reminders module to text drivers their slot and an arrival window the day-of.

The result

Cars arrived spread across the evening, the entry lane stopped spilling onto the road, and reminder texts pulled no-shows down. Revenue per night went up without adding a single car to the route’s peak.
