How a venue or hospitality project works at Autotelic

BARna, Autotelic's own venue, is both the clearest proof of a venue project and something you can book today: BARna Karaoke Room 1, BARna Karaoke Room 2, BARna AR Darts Lane A, BARna AR Darts Lane B, and BARna Multiball Room are all bookable rooms with real holds and a real pay page. The technology and infrastructure layer behind a venue includes commercial A/V systems, digital signage, security camera systems, access control and intercom, enterprise networking, and a fiber optic backbone — the same systems that run BARna itself.

Doors today: A scoped consult; rooms are bookable today.

A venue technology project starts with a scoped consult; BARna's own rooms, meanwhile, are bookable without waiting on that consult.

The venue's look and feel runs on Autotelic's own venue operating system — staff app, message broker, room agents, and a power-recovery orchestrator.

The venue's power-recovery orchestrator, one real morning run · captured 2026-09-05, reviewed by Robert

{
 "context": "After the 2026-08-18 venue-wide power loss left the headend and about 27 playout mini-PCs dark for 32 hours, the recovery was automated: every boot and every morning the orchestrator wakes the fleet, checks audio, powers the receivers, runs the fleet doctor, and texts the owner only when the picture is worse than the last report.",
 "steps": [
  {
   "step": 1,
   "label": "Trigger",
   "detail": "Daily run at 04:45 (also on every headend boot, two minutes after startup); 45-minute cap."
  },
  {
   "step": 2,
   "label": "Wake the fleet",
   "detail": "Magic packets from the headend to every playout and TV agent: 25 of 25 agents online within about 5 seconds on the 2026-09-05 run (on the first live run the night before, the headend's own wake packets brought back one basement screen that had been off)."
  },
  {
   "step": 3,
   "label": "Audio",
   "detail": "The house audio interface is resolved by friendly name, not by a hardware id that changes after a power event; status: decoding."
  },
  {
   "step": 4,
   "label": "Receivers",
   "detail": "DirecTV receivers powered: 8 of 8 on."
  },
  {
   "step": 5,
   "label": "Restore sources",
   "detail": "Skipped by design on daily runs; after a boot, only screens whose agent has heartbeated and whose state differs are re-commanded. Screens a human set to another source are never touched."
  },
  {
   "step": 6,
   "label": "Fleet doctor",
   "detail": "Health check across the room stack: failures went from 5 to 4 (one projector agent had not been running after its PC was powered on; started by hand later that morning)."
  },
  {
   "step": 7,
   "label": "Report and text",
   "detail": "Report retained for the staff app's Ready tab. Owner text skipped: the rule is worse-only for routine runs (a newly missing agent or a higher doctor failure count); boots and failed steps always text."
  }
 ],
 "doesNotDo": "Sonos regroup, DirecTV retune, TV input fixes, agent restarts, headend reboot, and any volume or mixer write are deliberately outside v1.",
 "openItems": "A rehearsed headend reboot in a quiet window; three basement screens off the network on the panel side; the projector agent's autostart."
}

Questions

Can I book a BARna room right now?

Yes — BARna’s rooms are live, bookable rooms with a real hold and a real pay page, not a placeholder.

Is BARna a client project or Autotelic’s own venue?

BARna is Autotelic’s own venue, which is why it can be shown here in detail that a client project couldn’t.

What happens if BARna loses power?

A power-recovery orchestrator checks the system daily, brings recovering hardware back up quickly, and only alerts the owner when something looks worse than the prior check.

Does every venue project include the full BARna-style system?

Scope varies by venue — BARna is the fullest example; smaller venue projects may use a subset of the same technology moons.
