President
Billing, officer slate, transfer the gavel, notes, council, packet, and Command. Closes the night.
FARU Groups Pro · $24.99/mo
Command — run the night without a spreadsheet
Groups Pro is the officer layer on top of FARU Groups. Members still see a simple hub: I have seats, I need a ride, I’m here (from 2 hours before arrive), then Check-out plans. Officers open Command and see who is still out, whether Driver on Duty is covered, and which leftover seats to fill before the leave window.
Billed to the club. Members ride free. FARU does not auto-email the university.
The board officers actually use
Club → Groups → Command. Glance tiles open the hub or the matching SOS ride — they are not unlabeled blobs. Members never see this screen.
Officer roles
Event chair
Hubs, templates, joint nights, pin, waitlist, arrive/leave waves, rain plan, 24h / 2h reminders.
Ride chair
Seats vs needs, leftover-seat fill, area pings, Driver on Duty target, duty-night signups.
Advisor
Read-only Command, weekly digest, season snapshots. Cannot assign duty or close the night.
Live night
Still-out is a named list
Still-out is not “everyone who opened the hub.” It is members who checked in as Need a ride home and do not yet have a completed hub ride or an They’re in mark. Walk / drive / offer seats are roster-only.
- Message that person in-app
- They’re in — they got a seat
- No-show — drop them from the live count
- Glance still-out opens this hub, not a dead tile
Coverage
Driver on Duty — a night slot, not Profile DD
Officers set how many Drivers on Duty the hub needs. Members sign a duty night. Coverage short stays visible until the target is met. Offering seats in check-out plans posts a ride — it does not write someone into this slot.
- Duty week + signups on the club calendar
- Optional attach of a Profile sober-ride network
- Profile Designated Drivers stay on Safety — ID, schedule, request flow
Leave window
Waves, waitlist, leftover seats
Pin the hub. Split leave into wave 1 and wave 2. Waitlist people who missed a car. One tap fills leftover seats and pings the people still on the list. 24h and 2h reminders go out before arrive; a leave-window ping fires when it is time to go.
Weather / venue
Rain plan, then night close
Move pickup to the covered loop, keep the leave waves, ping tagged members. When the night is over: expire leftover needs, snapshot the roster, draft the advisor digest. Night close never silently emails the school.
Chapter records — after the leave window
Hub history holds 18 months, or until an officer deletes a hub (logged). Night-ops buttons dither 12 hours after the hub date. Headcount, books, packets, and after-action stay usable. Club records only — FARU does not file them with the university.
Financial accounting
Budget, receipts, compare history
Officers set a hub budget, scan a receipt on-device, review OCR, and log the purchase. The overview shows remaining / over budget, category spend, and fund split. Compare history lines this hub up against other hubs still on file — search by name, venue, amount, or category — then export the same charts to PDF.
Advisor and campus — tap, never silent
Groups Pro can produce the paper a chapter already owes an advisor or Student Affairs. FARU does not file it and does not auto-send it.
Advisor digest
In-app, read-only: hubs, seats, needs, driver-on-duty hours, whether still-out closed. The advisor does not get an inbox dump from FARU. Officers send the digest when they mean to.
Campus packet
Export roster, sober monitors, and windows. Not filed with the school. If a campus license stores a Student Affairs inbox, an officer can tap Send. Nothing goes out on a timer.
Multi-club
Council Command
A council or umbrella org rolls member-club nights onto one board: which hubs are live, which club is coverage-short, how many are still out. Each club still owns its seats and duty. Glance opens that hub.
Handoff
Officer transition
Term history, season snapshots, transfer the gavel. New officers inherit Command — not a lost folder in last year’s DMs. Advisor stays read-only across the handoff.
Officer use cases
Ride chair at 10:20
Four still-out, one Driver on Duty of two needed. Fill leftover seats, ping wave 2, assign the open duty slot.
Event chair before kickoff
24h reminder already went. Rain moves pickup to the covered loop. Members see the new spot on the hub.
President on Sunday
Night close snapshot + digest draft. Export the campus packet for the weekly advisor meeting. No silent campus email.
Advisor, read-only
Opens the digest: three hubs, fourteen seats, still-out closed. Cannot edit duty. Can see the season pack at transition.
Council week
Outing is short. Dance is covered. Council glance opens Outing’s hub so the ride chair can finish still-out.
December gavel
Transfer president, keep event chair, leave ride chair open. New slate gets Command and the fall snapshots.
Groups Pro FAQ
Who can open Command?
Host, president, event chair, and ride chair. Advisor is read-only. Members get the tonight card only.
What counts as still-out?
Checked in with check-out plan “need a ride,” minus a completed hub ride or They’re in. I’m here, walk, drive alone, and offer seats are not still-out.
Can offering seats make someone Driver on Duty?
No. That check-out plan opens I have seats on the hub. Duty is an officer assignment or a signed duty night.
Does FARU email Student Affairs when we close?
No. Close drafts the advisor digest. Packet is export-only. Send is an explicit officer tap only if a campus license stored the inbox.
Do we still need FARU Groups?
Pro includes Groups: hubs, QR, series, club-only listings. Start from Club → Groups. See the full Groups use-case page.
