A booking page that's yours

Your logo, your colours, your web address. Customers pick a bay, pay by card or use their hours. No marketplace listing you next to the venue down the street.

Built for indoor golf, not borrowed from a salon app

Bays that switch themselves on

Bay power turns on 5 minutes before a booking and off just before it ends. It works with any simulator, because we switch the power, not the software.

Doors that open with a link

Customers get a door link by text and email 10 minutes before their time. Stay open late, or run without staff on site.

Fewer no-shows

Customers pay by card when they book, get a reminder before they come, and pay a no-show fee if they don't. A waitlist fills the slots that open up.

Sell hours, not just bookings

Coupons, memberships and gift cards bring money in before the bay is booked, and keep regulars coming back.

Questions owners ask

Which simulators does bay power work with?

Any of them. A smart plug or relay (Shelly) switches the power to the bay, so it doesn't matter which simulator or software you run.

Do I need new hardware?

Not for booking and payments. For automatic bay power you need a Shelly smart plug or relay per bay, and door links work with OpenPath (Avigilon Alta) access control.

How do I get paid?

Through your own Stripe account, straight to your bank. Stripe charges its own card processing fee on each payment.

Can I use my own web address?

Yes. Every venue gets yourname.golfriend.ca, and you can connect your own address, like book.yourvenue.ca.

Can my staff use it?

Yes. Invite your team and each person signs in with their own account.

Is anything public while I set up?

No. Your booking page stays hidden until you open it.
