StrikeWatch Event Intelligence tells you when live matches are at risk of lightning delay — before it happens. Know how long the delay will last. Plan your staff, your stock, and your licensing. From $29/month.
Last night's 30-minute weather delay cost venues more than the match itself.
A lightning delay can push a match past your licensing hours. UK extended hours for the World Cup go to 1am or 2am — a long delay could blow past that. You need advance warning to plan, not a surprise at midnight.
Bar staff rostered until 00:45, kitchen closed at midnight — then a lightning delay adds an hour. Without warning, you're scrambling. With StrikeWatch, you know before the match even starts.
Customers leave when they don't know what's happening. "There's a 30-minute lightning clearance, play resumes around midnight" keeps them at the bar. Uncertainty empties the room.
If your business is affected by when a live match starts, stops, or runs long — this is for you.
