YMCAs, JCCs, community centers and parks and recreation departments run program registration, memberships, facility bookings and child care across locations.

Common problems:
- **Registration day lines out the door:** Families line up and call when popular programs open, and the front desk can't keep up.
- **Members and non-members pay differently:** Member pricing, resident rates and household memberships need to apply automatically.
- **Several systems that don't talk:** Programs in one system, memberships in another, facility bookings in a third.

How BackPR handles it:
- **Self-service registration:** Families register online for classes, camps, swim lessons and child care, with member and resident pricing applied automatically.
- **Memberships and facilities:** Sell individual and household memberships with recurring billing, and let groups book rooms, courts and fields.
- **Every branch in one view:** Location-level staff access and an organization-wide dashboard for enrollment, revenue and balances.
