Critical Gaps and Issues

  1. Loyalty programme is dead weight — Set up but never used. Either activate or remove to avoid confusion.

  2. Square integration unverified — If PinTuna doesn’t sync with Square POS, spend data per member is unavailable, making the loyalty programme pointless even if activated.

  3. 62 inactive members — No expiration dates set, so “inactive” status is unclear. May be manual deactivations or bounced sign-ups.

  4. No email campaign history visible — Unclear whether PinTuna has ever been used to send emails to members.

  5. Full export needed — 572-member CSV should be exported and cross-referenced with shareholder registry (206 names) and TryBooking attendees.

Strategic Opportunity

PinTuna member database is the venue’s largest consented email list. With explicit email consent built into membership T&Cs, it’s a primary asset for shareholder/community engagement.
