Booking systems

Booking & operations systems

Your customers book and pay online, and the admin runs itself. Built for New Zealand activity businesses: coaching academies, kids' programmes, studios and venues.

When people have to email to enrol or phone for a court, bookings get lost after hours. We build the system that takes the booking, takes the payment, and hands you the roster.

Book and pay online

One page: pick a time or a programme, pay by card, done. Terms, casual sessions, private lessons, courts and spaces, each with its own rules, capacity and pricing.

Term and programme enrolment

Built for how New Zealand activity businesses run: term programmes, holiday programmes, classes and clinics. Parents enrol and pay upfront, you get the roster and the money, and make-up sessions, credits and refunds follow your rules.

Venue and court booking

Live availability your members can see and book. Block bookings for coaching and events. Payments, door access and lighting can connect straight in.

The admin, handled

We can run the inbox too. Enquiries are answered with drafts your team approves, payments are followed up, and rosters are kept full. It's a managed service priced against the hours it saves.

Whatever your customers book

Calendars, payments, rosters and reminders, shaped to your trade. If your customers book a time, a class, a court or a chair, this is for you.

Straight answers

Most Makings builds land between $5,000 and $15,000 depending on scope, plus a monthly care plan that keeps it running, backed up and improving. A single-chair salon booking page sits at the lower end; a multi-venue academy with term enrolment sits higher.

Yes. Card payment at the moment of booking is the point. Full payment, deposits, or a whole term upfront, with the money settling to your account through Stripe. Refunds, credits and cancellation windows follow rules you set.

For plenty of businesses an off-the-shelf booking app is the right call. Custom suits you when your rules do not fit a template, such as multi-venue timetables, term enrolment, member pricing or approval steps, or when you want your own brand on the page.

It depends on scope. We stage the work so the part that matters most, usually taking bookings and payments online, goes live first. You get a timeline with your quote.
