Welcome to bookings that run themselves.

Customers pick a slot, pay, and they’re in — at eleven at night or on a Sunday morning, without ringing you. The booking page is branded to your venue and takes about thirty seconds on a phone.

• ✓Live availability across every bay
• ✓Confirmation and reminder emails sent for you
• ✓Magic-link management, so no customer account is needed
• ✓Sims, range bays, darts, pool, putting greens or lessons

Point a subdomain of your own domain at us and that becomes your booking page: your branding, your web address. You add one DNS record at your registrar, we issue the security certificate, and it is usually live within minutes.

• ✓One DNS record to add, we handle the certificate
• ✓Old bookmybays.com links keep working, so QR codes are fine
• ✓Search engines told your domain is the canonical one
• ✓Swap it or remove it whenever you like

See how custom domains work.

Sketch your floor in the dashboard — bays, VIP rooms, walkways, reception, the bar — and your booking page shows the same map back to customers. They see the room they’re walking into instead of guessing from a dropdown.

• ✓Drag-and-drop layout editor
• ✓Live availability and pricing on each bay
• ✓Curved rows, multiple levels and outdoor zones

A small Windows app sits on the sim PC and holds a lock screen over it, clearing at booking start and coming back when the session ends. It never touches TrackMan, Foresight, GSPro or Uneekor, so whatever software you run is fine.

• ✓Pair a bay once, then it runs itself
• ✓Live status: online, in session, or offline
• ✓Remote restart, close and shutdown
• ✓Works with any Windows-based simulator

See exactly how the sim access control works.

Build monthly subscriptions, credit bundles or season passes in the dashboard and they appear on your booking page. Stripe runs the recurring billing, and members buy, pause and resume their own plans without ringing you.

• ✓Discounted first month, applied automatically
• ✓Day-of-week and time-of-day restrictions per plan
• ✓Live credit tracking with rollover caps
• ✓Membership payments carry a 1% platform fee

Run ticketed events from your own booking page. Add the dates an event runs on and one ticket covers the whole series, so an eight-week league is a single purchase rather than eight bookings to chase.

• ✓Capacity, per-customer limits and a sales window
• ✓Members-only events, and cheaper member pricing
• ✓Reserve the bays so nobody books over the top
• ✓Live attendee list with one-tap check-in

Add your coaches with their own working hours and time off, and lesson times only appear when a coach is genuinely free. Customers pick a coach or leave it to whoever is available, and the bay is sorted behind the scenes.

• ✓A coach can’t be double-booked
• ✓Add the coach’s fee to the price, or keep it internal
• ✓Coach named on the booking and emailed when it’s confirmed

Set a party up once — a Kids Party, a Corporate Away Day — and it gets its own tab on your booking page with a photo and a what’s-included list. Customers give you a date and a headcount, and we work out how many bays that needs and seat them together.

• ✓Charged once, so revenue isn’t multiplied by bay count
• ✓Sizes that won’t fit are greyed out before checkout
• ✓Add fixed extras, like a function room or the bar

Customers buy a gift card on your booking page in a couple of taps, choose a design, add a message, and it lands by email ready to spend. Money in now, played later — a decent earner come Christmas.

• ✓Your own amounts, with optional bonus credit
• ✓Guest checkout, no account needed to buy one
• ✓Emailed to the buyer, or straight to the recipient
• ✓Balance comes off automatically at checkout

Booking money goes straight into your own Stripe account and we never touch it. Charge in your venue’s own currency, whether that’s pounds, euros or dollars.

• ✓Stripe Connect setup takes about ten minutes
• ✓Refunds and partial refunds from the dashboard
• ✓Your cancellation policy applied for you
• ✓A 1% fee on memberships and event tickets, nothing else

Every venue starts with customers paying exactly the price on the grid, and the cost of taking the payment coming out of it. Turn on a checkout fee instead and a small booking fee is added at checkout, worked out from the amount being paid.

• ✓Off unless you turn it on
• ✓On its own line from the first price customers see
• ✓Set the smallest and largest booking it applies to
• ✓Free bookings stay free
• ✓Reported separately, so your takings stay comparable

Take a deposit online and the rest on arrival, and the booking carries an Outstanding badge with the amount everywhere it appears. Took the money at the desk? Hit Mark paid and the balance clears.

• ✓Records cash, your card machine, or a cleared invoice
• ✓Who settled it and when goes on the record
• ✓An Owed view lists everything still outstanding

Add or remove a balance on a customer’s Credit tab and it comes off their next booking automatically, with nothing for them to type and nothing for you to look up. Ideal for a rained-off session, when credit beats handing cash back.

• ✓Applies itself at checkout when they’re signed in
• ✓Every movement logged, with a note saying why
• ✓A Credit column on the customers list
• ✓Balances import when you move from another system

Charge less on a quiet Tuesday morning and more at seven on a Friday, without touching a thing. The rules apply themselves at checkout, so customers see the right price and there’s nothing to negotiate at the desk.

• ✓Per-day-of-week and per-time-of-day rates
• ✓Weekend and bank holiday uplifts
• ✓Per-slot-type price overrides

Your codes live with your venue rather than in a pool shared with every other business, so the names are yours and they work the moment you create them. Another venue using SUMMER25 is not your problem.

• ✓Percent-off or fixed-amount discounts
• ✓Expiry dates and usage limits, editable later
• ✓Archive a code and the name frees up again
• ✓Restrict a code to named customers
• ✓Group codes into campaigns, so pushes stay apart

However many bays you run, they sit side by side with no scrolling sideways, and the day runs from your earliest opening to your latest closing rather than midnight to midnight. Need the out-of-hours view? Hit Full day.

• ✓Colour-coded by status, with a key under the date
• ✓Shut hours shaded off
• ✓A note icon on anything with a note
• ✓Block several bays at once for maintenance

Price by the head, by the bay, or a base rate with extra players on top. Bigger groups can drop into a better rate on their own, so a four-ball isn’t four times a solo hour unless you want it to be.

• ✓Per-player, flat, or additional-player modes
• ✓Volume discount tiers for larger groups
• ✓Membership plans that cover extra players

One page per customer: what they’ve booked, what they’ve spent, and anything the team needs to know before they walk through the door.

• ✓Full booking and spend history
• ✓Private staff notes, never shown to the customer
• ✓Golf handicap and skill level fields
• ✓Search, filter, and merge duplicates

Pick any date range, or narrow it to particular hours and days, and see revenue, bookings and average booking value against the period before. Export it if you need to.

• ✓What sells: session types, lengths, sizes and extras
• ✓Where bookings come from, and what each source is worth
• ✓Events, memberships and gift cards kept separate
• ✓True bay utilisation against your real opening hours
• ✓A week-by-hour heatmap of when you’re busy
• ✓Repeat custom, no-shows and cancellations

The last three are part of the optional advanced analytics add-on, free for your whole trial. The booking funnel tracks every step of your checkout, so you can see which one is losing you money — including the people who landed on a day you were fully booked. Why customers abandon bookings.

Paste your tag ID into settings and every confirmed booking reports back to your ad account as a conversion, with the amount taken attached. No developer, no code, no tag manager to learn.

• ✓Google Ads, Meta, TikTok, Microsoft Ads and GA4
• ✓Only confirmed bookings count, so a declined card never does
• ✓The booking value goes with it, so you can see your return

Invite staff as managers and they get bookings, bays and customers. They don’t get your billing or your venue settings. Two roles, that’s the lot.

• ✓Invite by email, revoke instantly
• ✓Managers: bookings, bays, customers
• ✓Owners only: billing and settings

Set your weekly hours and block out bank holidays or a private event, and the booking page follows on its own. Nobody books a day you’re shut.

• ✓Weekly opening hours, and per-bay overrides
• ✓One-off closures and private hire
• ✓Bookings already in the diary are never silently dropped

The booking engine doesn’t care what the resource is. Venues run it for dart boards, pool tables, putting greens, escape rooms, function rooms and lesson slots, each with its own slot lengths, prices and hours.

• ✓Anything you rent by the hour
• ✓Own slot lengths, prices and hours per resource type
• ✓Sim access control only kicks in where it’s needed
