What the band is actually asked to do
Properties rarely buy a wristband. They buy the end of a queue at the pool gate, or a bar tab that does not need a room key, or a defensible record of which adult collected which child. The material and the construction follow from that, which is why this section exists separately from the range.
Most properties run three or four of these on one band. Where that is possible we say so; where two uses genuinely need different bands, the page says that too.
Use 01
Pool and zone access
The band that decides who is inside the fence. Usually the first reader a property installs, and the one that pays for itself fastest.
What to specifyUse 02
Cashless payment
A bar tab on a wrist. Raises spend per guest, and creates a dispute process you must design before the first drink.
What to specifyUse 03
All-inclusive identification
The band that tells a server what a guest is entitled to, from four metres away, without asking.
What to specifyUse 04
Room access
The use with the most stringent requirement in the range, because a lock either accepts the credential or it does not.
What to specifyUse 05
Spa and gym access
Heat, water and undressed guests. The one environment where the material specification is a safety question.
What to specifyUse 06
Kids' club check-in
Sign-in, sign-out, and the rule that only the adult who dropped a child off can collect them.
What to specifyUse 07
Locker control
Removes the key that guests lose, and replaces it with a battery you have to manage.
What to specifyUse 08
Beach club day passes
Sold at the gate, worn for six hours, thrown away. The economics only work if the band is genuinely cheap and genuinely non-transferable.
What to specifyUse 09
Meal plan and buffet
Half board, full board, dine-around and the à la carte restaurant that is included once per stay.
What to specifyUse 10
Water park sessions
Height rules, timed sessions and a band that spends its whole life submerged and abraded.
What to specifyUse 11
Conference and meetings
A resort hosting a corporate group runs a second, temporary property inside itself for four days.
What to specifyUse 12
Staff and contractor access
Back-of-house doors, plant rooms and stock stores — and a credential that must stop working the afternoon someone leaves.
What to specifyUse 13
VIP and tier recognition
Letting staff recognise a returning guest without the guest ever seeing the mechanism.
What to specifyUse 14
Marina and watersports
Equipment issue, qualification checks and a band that lives in salt water rather than visiting it.
What to specifyOne band, several jobs
What can share a band, and what cannot.
The question every property asks second, after price.
Access and spend share easily
Zone access, cashless spend, meal entitlement and locker control are all the same transaction to the band — an identifier presented to a reader. One credential covers all four.
Room access is decided by your lock
It can share the same band, but only if your lock platform accepts a credential enrolled by you. That is a question about the lock, not about the band, and it is answered before anything is made.
Guest and staff must not share
Different wear periods, different durability, different revocation rules and a different risk if one is lost. These are two programmes that happen to use the same technology.
Phone-readable is a separate decision
A band a guest can tap with their own phone carries public information. An access credential does not. A band can do both, but it has to be specified for both at the outset.
Before any of this is quoted
Compatibility is subject to confirmation of your lock system, credential technology and encoding requirements.
