Challenge
Midvale was running on servers tucked under a desk in the office, with no reliable backup. As a member centric club, the risk did not fit the standard staff wanted.
Solution
Midvale moved its operation to Jonas Cloud, bringing club management, point of sale, and member data together on one secure platform that staff can access from anywhere.

Midvale Country Club has been a fixture in the Penfield community since 1929. It is an old club by American standards, but its philosophy has stayed simple: deliver exceptional service without being fussy. That balance, tradition on one side and genuine hospitality on the other, only works when the systems behind the scenes are dependable. For years, Midvale’s technology told a different story. Today, with Jonas Club Software as the foundation, the club’s operation runs as smoothly as the experience it delivers to members.

The Challenge: Outdated Infrastructure, Real Risk

Before Jonas, Midvale kept its servers under a desk in the office. They were not backed up, which meant the club’s membership records, financial data, and daily operations all rested on hardware that could fail without warning. For a club that prides itself on consistency, that gap between reputation and infrastructure was hard to ignore.

As one member of Midvale’s leadership team put it, describing the old setup and the eventual shift to the cloud, the club began looking for the best way forward and that search led them to Jonas Cloud.

When we began to look at what’s the best way to do this, it was going to Jonas Cloud.

The Solution: Four Departments, One Platform

Moving to Jonas Cloud gave Midvale a single system the team can rely on every day. Analytics, member records, and expense tracking all live in one place, accessible whenever staff need them. That same foundation supports Midvale’s point of sale operations, giving the food and beverage team real time visibility into what is selling and what needs a second look on the menu.

It’s one platform that we can go to any day. We can pull analytics very quickly, we can control the members, we can identify expenses, we can very quickly pull data to see where members are spending and where they’re not.

I can pull real-time statistics and just know what menu items need tweaked and what’s already dialed in and selling well and getting good feedback.

The club’s CRM and member management tools rounded out the picture, giving staff a unified view of every member’s information, from contact details to payment history, in one accessible record.

The Impact: A Team Empowered to Deliver

The result is an operation where information moves as easily as members do through the clubhouse. Staff can pull up a member’s profile, family details, subscription status, and payment history in seconds, freeing them to focus on the relationship instead of the paperwork behind it.

Having a unified platform to have information on our membership allows us to give excellent service, so when people leave here, they feel engaged, and they feel like this is another place that they can call home.

Tricia DaluisioTricia DaluisioSales & Events Manager

Jonas is very much the glue that holds the operation together, because it spans across all areas of the operation, and we’ve noticed since we’ve had Jonas here, that’s really empowered our team to be able to deliver on exceptional world-class service.

Simon DewarSimon DewarGeneral Manager & COO

Midvale’s team also points to the relationship with Jonas itself as part of the value. Fast, reliable support has made the transition easier and given staff confidence in the system they depend on every day.

Finding that responsiveness from Jonas has really been fantastic, and I think is something that sets them apart from other operators.

Conclusion

Midvale Country Club’s story shows that modernization is not about replacing what makes a club special. It is about giving a nearly century old institution the infrastructure to keep delivering on its promise, without the risk of a server under a desk holding it back.
