We keep everything running in season and handle every upgrade once it's over.

We know your software because we use it every day.
We support Jonas Club Software, Northstar, ClubEssentials, and Cobalt. Not as line items on a capabilities sheet. We're logged into these systems daily, troubleshooting issues, configuring modules, and working directly with the vendors.
We have direct relationships with Jonas and Northstar. When something breaks, we call someone who knows us by name. That matters when your GM needs an answer before the dining room opens.
We're at a club pretty much every day of the week. We understand the workflows, the reporting your board expects, and the way these systems tie into everything from member billing to F&B.
Thanksgiving to Mother's Day. We know the rhythm.
Season means one thing: keep everything running. No major changes, no system swaps, no experiments. Your members are back, your staff is at full capacity, and technology needs to disappear into the background.
When seasonal staff arrives, we bring machines out of storage, get them back online, and add people to systems, email, and authentication. When season ends, we reverse it. Machines go back into closets. Accounts get deprovisioned.
Off-season is when the real work happens. Infrastructure upgrades, server replacements, new systems, network overhauls. Everything your club needs for next season gets done while the pressure is off.
You audit your financials every year. When was your last IT audit?
Most private clubs have internal staff handling day-to-day technology. That staff typically reports to someone in finance. Usually the CFO or Controller.
Here's the problem: CFOs are good at money. They're not IT people. They don't have the technical background to evaluate whether their IT staff is really doing the job. Systems can look fine on the surface while security gaps, missed updates, and deferred maintenance pile up underneath.
We've seen it. Clubs where nothing had been updated in years. Pen test reports sitting in a drawer with zero recommendations implemented. The person responsible knew more about technology than anyone else in the building, and that's exactly how the problems stayed hidden.
An independent IT audit works the same way as a financial audit. Bring in an outside expert to verify that the people managing your systems are actually doing what they say they're doing.
This isn't a vertical we picked off a list.
Wes put himself through college working at a country club. That was 36 years ago. The club industry has been part of Think's story since before Think existed.
We're members of HFTP. Wes and Adam regularly speak at HFTP national conferences and regional chapter events across Florida, training club professionals on cybersecurity and AI. This isn't conference attendance for the badge. We're in five HFTP chapters. The people who run your club know us because we've been in the same rooms for years.
We serve more than 20 private clubs across Florida, including some of the most recognized in the country. Not all of them let us use their names. The few who do, including The Club at Admiral's Cove and Lost Tree Club, have been with us long enough to know we'll still be here next season.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions.
Q·01 What club software do you support?
Jonas Club Software, Northstar, ClubEssentials, and Cobalt. We work in these systems daily and have direct relationships with the vendors. If your club runs something else, we'll tell you honestly whether we can support it.
Q·02 How do you handle seasonal staffing changes?
When season starts, we bring stored machines back online, add seasonal staff to systems and authentication, and verify everything works before your first event. When season ends, we reverse the process: decommission accounts, secure machines, and store equipment.
Q·03 Do you work with our internal IT staff?
Yes. Many of our club clients have internal IT teams. We fill gaps they can't cover: security, backup, vendor management, and strategic planning. Your IT staff gets console access to the same tools we use.
Q·04 What does an IT audit involve?
We review your entire technology environment: infrastructure, security posture, backup systems, vendor contracts, and budget. You get a written report with findings rated by severity and a prioritized plan. Think of it like a financial audit, but for your technology.
Q·05 Are you members of HFTP?
Yes. We're active members of five HFTP chapters across Florida. Wes and Adam regularly speak and train at chapter events and national conferences on cybersecurity and AI for the hospitality industry.
