The starting point

A small club with two courts can't pay staff from early morning to late at night. At the same time, players expect to book online any time and play on short notice.

The solution

Every booking triggers a chain: payment via Stripe, door code via the Nuki API, lights via Shelly. Cancellations are refunded automatically by tier. The operator sees everything in the admin.

More than bookings

Since launch, open matches, credits, vouchers, discount codes, memberships, courses, Americano tournaments and private lessons have been added. All in the same platform.
