This is the venue type we were built for. Customers book and pay online, the sim opens itself when the session starts, and nobody has to be behind the desk to make it happen.
BookMyBays started in golf simulator venues, and it shows. Everything from the slot lengths to the access control to the way memberships restrict off-peak hours was designed around how a sim studio actually trades, rather than bolted onto a generic scheduler.
The BookMyBays Agent runs on the sim PC and opens your simulator software when a booking starts, then closes it at the end. TrackMan, Foresight, GSPro, Uneekor, anything Windows-based. Late-night and unstaffed hours become sellable.
Time-of-day pricing charges a peak rate on weekday evenings and tempts people in before lunch. Off-peak membership plans hold members to an allowed hours window, so a cheap plan cannot eat your Friday night.
Monthly plans, credit bundles and season passes run on Stripe, with a discounted first month if you want to tempt new members in. Members buy, pause and resume themselves.
Take bookings on your own web address instead. Point a subdomain of your own domain at us and that is where customers book, under your branding.

A bay booking on its own gives you a name and an hour. It does not tell you whether two county players are coming in or somebody who has never held a driver. Four questions on the way through checkout and you know which, and you have hired out a set of clubs while you were at it.
What staff need before the customer walks in.
Put a price on an answer and it becomes an add-on.
Segmentation you can actually market to later.
What they came to book
One bay, one hour, four players
What checkout offered them
Ask as a dropdown, a multi-select, a tick-box or a free-text box. Put a price on an answer and it becomes a paid add-on with its own quantity stepper, so the total sorts itself out at checkout. Every answer is saved on the booking, so whoever is on shift already knows what the group needs.
£30 a month covers your first two bays, then each one after that costs less than the last. No setup fee and no commission on bookings — see the full pricing details.

Yes, if the simulator runs on Windows. The BookMyBays Agent opens and closes whatever simulator software is on the PC rather than talking to the launch monitor directly, so it works the same way across TrackMan Performance Studio, Foresight FSX, GSPro, Uneekor and the rest.
Yes. They pick a bay and a time, pay, and get a confirmation email with a magic link they can use to view or change the booking later. No password and no sign-up form, which is a meaningful difference to how many people finish a booking on a phone.
Yes. Set an allowed hours window on a plan, for example 9 until 16, and members are held to it. You can set just a start, just an end, or a window that runs through midnight for late-night plans.
No. Bookings carry a 0% platform fee and the money goes straight to your own Stripe account. Membership payments and event ticket sales carry 1%, because we run the recurring billing and the ticketing on top of Stripe.
Yes. Add venue-wide questions asked on every booking, or questions on a specific bay. Handicap, number of players, club hire, food to the bay, whatever you want to know. Put a price on an answer and it becomes a paid add-on with its own quantity stepper, and every answer is saved on the booking for whoever is on shift.
Same booking engine, set up for how each of these actually trades.
