PRO DRIFT · RIDE-ALONG EXPERIENCES

APEX DRIFT WORKS

A complete, fictional drift team running on Gatelyst. Follow one rider from the QR code on the fence to the merchandise handed over at the tent — then see the other half: the crew running it, the control room, what happens when a car breaks or the internet dies, and the night being closed with the money reconciled.

Thirty-nine scenes in thirteen chapters, about fourteen minutes. Every customer, order, ride and number is simulated. No payment is taken, no message is sent, and no provider is contacted.

What the walkthrough covers

Thirteen chapters. The first three are the evening a customer has; the rest are the evening the team has.

01Discovery & purchase

QR on the fence · branded storefront · driver and car · driver-specific merch · phone checkout · the operator’s walk-up till

02Release & safety clearance

Participant release frozen at signature · media rights as a separate grant · minor and guardian gates · not cleared is a refusal

03Readiness & rehearsal

Twenty-six readiness checks · blocking versus advisory · rehearse the whole evening with no money and no messages

04Crew operations

Roster and roles · shifts as a gate · shared-device handoff · event-scoped location and learned zones

05Queue & check-in

Waiting, called, not present, returned, checked in · scanning twice never creates two rides · audited corrections

06Control room & comms

Thirteen derived alerts · crew messages with acknowledgement · failed customer messages recovered another way

07Pause, incidents & recovery

Weather and safety pauses · a car marked failed and its queue reassigned · incidents raised, acknowledged, resolved

08Offline & fallback

What keeps working without internet, what cannot · paper pack with pre-allocated references · reconciled afterwards

09The experience

Arming the car · simulated telemetry · the venue screen · the ride-complete takeover

10Media, merch & fulfilment

Background processing · a second copy of every photograph · pick, notify, hand over · two people cannot buy the last shirt

11Membership & relationship

Collector pass and benefits · post-ride commerce · the customer record that survives the event

12Payments & event money

Connect your Square or Stripe, or managed payments through Stripe Connect · retries, refunds, disputes, cash and comps

13Closeout, analytics & platform

Twenty-six reconciled figures · cash variance · commissions · what the owner sees · one tenant among many

Stated plainly. Connecting your own Square or Stripe is available today. Gatelyst Managed Payments — a Stripe connected account we open with you — is software ready and has not yet been connected to live Stripe, and the demo labels it that way rather than implying otherwise. Gatelyst is never the merchant of record for your sales.
