Discover our Top Five Tips to Streamline your Bookings Below!
1. Use the Sports Booker System
Sports Booker is the all-in-one booking solution for a wide range of sectors including sport and leisure, holiday parks, education, wellbeing, business centres and many more. We provide you with all the tools you need, from membership management to integrated payments, so that you can successfully manage your business.
2. Establish Clear Booking Policies
We strongly advise to establish clear guidelines on the length of time for appointments, cancellations and rescheduling to help reduce the possibility of no-shows and long idle times. To discourage last-minute cancellations and no-shows, implement rules in dealing with these issues, eg; a non-refundable deposit or cancellation fee.
3. Offer Online Payment Options
Often clients who arrange a booking with you may wish to pay online beforehand, especially if this option is made available to them. To accommodate clients who prefer to pay for your services in advance, include multiple payment options using a debit card, credit card and other online payment solutions. With this feature, your business can track cash flows better, while your customers can complete their transaction with ease.
4. Make Sure to Train your Team
Just like any other platform, a booking app is only as good as its user. A great idea is to assign a specific employee responsible for the system, ideally all your staff members should be familiar with the program. Before training your employees, you should also have a clear understanding of how the system works and keep documentation of the processes involved.
5. Give Customers some Flexibility
We always recommend allowing for some level of flexibility. Customers, or even yourself, may need to cancel or reschedule appointments for other concerns. Your booking platform should allow customers to cancel or re-book appointments with ease, as well as move customers’ appointment times to avoid gaps. This way, you will not have to deal with unexpected disruptions in your schedule, enabling productivity and revenue maximisation.
