Features

Everything an independent venue actually needs.

Bookings on your own domain, payments, parties, memberships, access control and customer CRM, all in one place. Built around golf simulators and driving ranges, equally happy with darts, pool, escape rooms, lesson slots, or anything else you rent by the hour.

No per-booking cuts. No setup fees. One flat monthly price.

The booking engine

Take bookings without lifting a finger

Your venue page does the work, day and night. Customers pick a slot, pay, and they're in. No calls, no spreadsheets, no double-bookings.

24/7 online bookings

Customers book and pay from your venue page, so there is no phone call, no email and no spreadsheet.

Any bookable resource, not just simulators

Golf simulators are our roots, but the booking engine is resource-agnostic, so darts oches, pool tables, putting greens, lesson slots and function rooms all work the same way.

Group bookings and parties

Sell kids parties, corporate away days and work socials as a package, booked across several bays in one go and charged once.

Lessons and coaching

Offer coached lessons alongside bay hire, with each coach’s hours respected and the right bay sorted automatically.

Multi-activity baskets

Let customers add several bays or activities to one basket and pay for the lot in a single checkout.

Checkout questions and add-ons

Ask customers anything at checkout and sell extras while you are at it, from food pre-orders and club hire to waivers.

Multi-player and group pricing

Three pricing modes plus volume discount tiers, so bigger groups get a better per-head rate automatically.

A booking page that looks like yours

Upload and crop your logo and cover photo in the dashboard, with no image editor and no designer needed.

Phone, walk-in and cash bookings

Take bookings at the desk or over the phone without forcing anyone through online payment.

A diary that fits on one screen

However many bays you run, they sit side by side with no sideways scrolling, and the day runs from your first opening time to your last closing time.

New

Take bookings on your own domain

Point your own web address at us and that is where your customers book. Your branding, your address bar. There is a small monthly fee for this one.

Beforebookmybays.com/book/your-venue

Afterbookings.yourdomain.co.uk

Your customers book on your web address, not ours.
We set it up and look after it. You add one line at whoever you bought your domain from, and we do the rest.
Your existing bookmybays.com link keeps working, so printed QR codes and old emails are unaffected.
A small monthly fee, on top of your subscription. Remove it whenever you like.

We set it all up for you. Usually live within minutes.

Venue map

Show your venue, not a dropdown

Lay out your bays, rooms, walkways and front-of-house exactly as they sit in the building. Customers tap the bay they want, with no second-guessing which one is by the bar or which one is the VIP suite.

Drag-and-drop layout editor in the dashboard
Bays, VIP rooms, walkways, reception and bar, whatever you have
Live availability and pricing shown per bay
Optional, and it falls back to a clean list on small screens

Sim access control

Automated simulator access control

The BookMyBays Agent locks and unlocks your simulators automatically, with no staff intervention.

A small Windows app pairs to a bay with a one-time code from your dashboard.
Opens your simulator software at the start of every booking and closes it at the end.
Live online, in-session and offline status visible from anywhere.
Remote restart, close and shutdown commands when you need to step in.
Works with any Windows-based simulator, including TrackMan, Foresight, GSPro and Uneekor.

Memberships & money

Turn regulars into recurring revenue

Subscriptions with a discounted first month, credit bundles, ticketed events, account credit, gift cards, dynamic pricing, promo campaigns and automatic bundle discounts. All running on Stripe, all visible on your booking page.

Memberships and subscriptions

Sell monthly plans, credit bundles and season passes, with Stripe handling the recurring billing.

Events and ticketing

Sell tickets to leagues, tournaments, socials and coaching classes, with one ticket covering the whole series.

Customer account credit

Put a balance on a customer’s account and it comes off their next booking automatically, with no code to hand out and nothing for them to type.

Know who still owes you money

Every booking says whether there is money left to collect, and one button records it when you take it.

Gift cards

Sell gift cards online, so the money comes in now and the session is played later.

Stripe payments built in

Card, Apple Pay and Google Pay, paid straight into your own Stripe account.

Time-of-day and dynamic pricing

Off-peak mornings, peak evenings and a weekend uplift, applied automatically at checkout.

Bundle discounts, so booking more saves more

When a customer books two or more sessions the saving applies itself at checkout, with no code to type.

Customers & data

Know your numbers, and your regulars

Every booking, every spend, every customer note, in one place. Drop into reports when you want the big picture.

Reporting and analytics

Know your numbers without exporting a single CSV, across six tabs that answer one question each.

Advanced analytics

The deeper reports: real bay utilisation, a week-by-hour heatmap, repeat custom, and everything you lost.

Customer profiles and CRM

Every booking, every spend, every note, in one place.

A dashboard that follows the clock

Today’s bookings keeps whoever is on a bay right now at the top, with what is coming next underneath.

Day to day

The bits that just run

Less interesting on a marketing page, but the stuff you will touch every week.

Team management

Invite staff as managers with full operational access and no access to your billing.

Opening hours and closures

Set your weekly schedule and block out bank holidays or private events.

Support, and an assistant that knows your venue

Real humans by email or live chat, plus a built-in assistant that can see how your venue is actually set up.

Booking software for more than golf

The same feature set runs driving ranges, escape rooms, darts venues, axe throwing lanes, pool halls and multi-activity venues. Each venue type has its own page with the detail that matters to it.
