What is BounceU?

Each BounceU facility is an indoor, climate-controlled stadium filled with giant inflatable play structures, accompanied by additional play equipment and video arcade games. In addition to hosting birthday parties and other special occasions, BounceU stadiums also offer "open bounce" sessions to provide franchise owners with an additional revenue stream.

This business model works. Here's how -

1. Birthday parties are big business. Parents earn more money, but have less free time to plan parties. At BounceU, we coordinate, set up, supervise, facilitate and clean up. In short, we handle everything so that the parents can relax and enjoy the event.

2. Instant marketability. Each BounceU party is a live commercial and a chance for you to gain more customers! Children and parents see firsthand how fun and easy these parties are.

3. Our inflatables are dependable. All equipment meets the highest safety standards. It is truly a controlled environment.

4. We create happy memories. With BounceU's highly trained "party pros" overseeing every event, parents can experience that coveted feeling of having created a happy memory with their child.

5. Unbeatable value! Once parents add up the costs to host the event at home and compare it to what it would cost to have the event at BounceU, they quickly see the unbeatable value and service that BounceU provides.

On about 6 weeks prior to Grand Opening, candidate(s) will come to Gilbert, Arizona for Management Training. If a General Manager has been hired we ask that they bring their GM. Management Training will last for 4 days and we will cover BounceU corporate culture in detail, utilization of the Virtual Manager software system, QuickBooks, as this is the accounting system used by BounceU business owners, our proprietary hiring process, sales techniques, mock events and roll play. The final day is immersion training, where they will be in the facility working behind the front desk, engaging guests in the bounce stadiums and party rooms, they will wear a head set and they may even get the opportunity to blow up a few balloons. The idea behind this segment of their training is that they will have had the opportunity to work in the facility and again remove some of the unknown associated with opening and operating a BounceU facility.

 

Two weeks prior to opening they will have the BounceU training team in their facility to assist them in training their staff. There will be 2 full days, Saturday and Sunday, where they and the BounceU trainers will train their staff on our process. We will also assist them on fine tuning the facility, working through their punch list for their contractor and even laying out the filing system at the front desk and in their office. They can change it, but the idea is that they will be ready to open their business and embrace their customer knowing that all is well and ready to go.
