Bowling metadata coverage

External readiness: comparison-ready with gates Evidence state: August 9-10, 2026 production baseline; September 9, 2026 Lucky Strike census

Dataset surface

Public booking metadata from four bowling reservation families supports venue, product, start-time, duration, posted-price, and provider-native availability research. The production fleet has 461 platform targets: 49 AlleyTrak venues, 328 QubicaAMF centers, and 84 non-closed REX venue identifiers. Separately, the current Bowlero/Cheetah research registry has 169 candidate center identifiers: 167 current public-directory records branded Lucky Strike plus the two earlier Bowlero/Bowlmor candidates. None are production targets.

These are platform identifiers, not proven-unique bowling businesses. The providers have not been entity-resolved against each other, and nine active REX identifiers under the 810testsite tenant require test/demo classification. The official Lucky Strike location finder returned 363 mixed-brand center records; only the 167 records whose provider-returned brand is exactly Lucky Strike are included in the Lucky Strike count.

Provider surface	Native entity and breadth	Production continuity evidence	Defensible signal
AlleyTrak	49 venues configured	49/49 had success on every day of Aug 2-8 UTC	Lane configuration, booking hours, blocks, reservation rows, duration, conditional price; within-platform reserved-lane-time only after denominator/status QA
QubicaAMF	328 centers across 289 company IDs	327/328 had success on every day of Aug 2-8 UTC	Provider-native remaining inventory by offer/start, zero-remaining pressure, schedule, alternatives, conditional price
REX	84 non-closed venue identifiers across 13 tenants; 92 discovered including 8 closed	84/84 had success on every day of Aug 2-8 UTC	Returned-start survival, schedule breadth, duration/package/rate attributes
Bowlero/Cheetah	169 research candidates: 167 current Lucky Strike centers plus 2 earlier Bowlero/Bowlmor candidates	0 production targets; all 167 Lucky Strike centers returned non-empty live schedule grids in the Sep 9 bounded proof	Slot/duration presence and promotion metadata; research only

A successful parent collection is collection continuity, not proof that every optional request or requested service day contained schedule rows.

Commercial uses

Competitive schedule breadth and posted-price panels for comparable products.
Venue and market screens using start-time survival or zero-remaining pressure.
Technology-footprint and operator-market mapping.
Commercial-diligence work that needs provider-native evidence and traceable raw observations.

Best-fit buyers are multi-unit bowling/eatertainment operators, franchisors, private-equity and commercial-diligence teams, booking technology vendors, and location-based entertainment advisors.

Analytical boundary

The canonical comparison is one venue × product cohort × local service start × duration × request party size × observation lead-time bucket. Qubica Remaining has no proven physical-capacity denominator. REX returned starts are not free-lane counts. Bowlero maxCapacity is not a proven lane or remaining-capacity measure. No attendance, revenue, physical occupancy, or universal utilization claim is supported.
