reservation system for
your business

Let customers pay for their reservation or tickets online right away, before the service is provided – faster, more convenient, and with the certainty that the reservation will be paid, and therefore used.

The reenio system allows you to require prepayment as part of the booking process, so a customer's reservation only becomes valid once paid. You decide yourself whether online payment is mandatory, or whether you leave it up to the customer to pay on site. With mandatory payment, you can set a deadline by which a new reservation must be paid, otherwise it is automatically cancelled and the slot is released for another customer.

For online payments you can choose from several supported payment gateways. The reservation system then handles the technical connection and communication with the chosen gateway, but all business and formal matters are handled directly with the payment gateway provider – you keep the money you receive under your own control, in your own merchant account.

• GoPay

  An online payment gateway offering a wide range of payment methods, from card payments to fast bank transfers, Apple Pay, or Google Pay.

• Comgate

  Another Czech payment gateway that also operates in other European countries. Its payment methods vary and cover common needs.

• Stripe

  A global payment gateway that is becoming increasingly popular. It offers fast integration and approval, so you can start accepting payments within minutes.

• Bank transfer

  A special type of payment method where the reservation system itself can generate a QR code for payment and then automatically verify and match received payments.

After a successful payment, the system automatically marks the reservation as paid and generates and sends the customer a payment document. The reenio system offers a wide range of options and features for working with payments, including exports, refunds, and more. However, it should be noted that reenio itself is not an accounting system.

Offer customers the option to save their ticket, reservation, or coupon directly to their phone, in an app they already know and use – Apple Wallet or Google Wallet.

The reenio system lets customers add the QR code for a reservation or ticket directly to their Apple or Google system wallet, so the customer doesn't need to look up a confirmation e-mail or print a document – the code is saved right on their phone, where they can easily find it when they arrive.

The same option can also be used with coupons – meaning QR codes for gift coupons, discount codes, and punch cards. For a coupon that's drawn down gradually, this solution has one huge advantage: the customer can see their current balance directly in their phone's wallet.

For the customer, this is primarily about convenience and a lower risk of losing or forgetting a ticket or coupon – for you, it means a somewhat smoother and faster check-in process for tickets and coupons.

A reservation in the reenio system doesn't have to mean just a booked slot in a calendar – it can also mean a ticket. It's just a different way of looking at what you're offering customers, what they're buying, and how the whole process then unfolds.

Every reservation carries everything you'd expect from a ticket – a unique code, a QR code for quick check-in, and information about the time and exactly what it can be used for. From this perspective, selling tickets is a fundamental way of using the reservation system. A ticket is often understood as a document that, for example, matches the visual identity of an event and also contains additional information. All of this can also be provided in the reenio system, where you can create your own design for the reservation confirmation = the look and content of the ticket.

The customer receives their ticket by e-mail right after payment, can save it to their Apple or Google Wallet, and you simply scan it with the mobile app at the entrance. If you want to sell tickets for events, it's really nothing more than a reservation with online payment and a custom confirmation design.

Don't lose customers just because an event is already fully booked – let them sign up for a waiting list and automatically notify them as soon as a place opens up for them because an earlier customer cancels their reservation.

The waiting list feature lets customers express interest in a reservation even when an event no longer has free capacity. A reservation doesn't get created for them at that point yet – the system simply records their interest, including their details. As soon as the corresponding capacity becomes available (e.g. another customer cancels their reservation), the system automatically picks a waiting-list candidate from the queue based on order and capacity and creates a standard reservation for them with everything that entails – sending a confirmation, a possible payment request, cancellation rules, and so on. If a candidate on the waiting list doesn't get a spot, the system no longer notifies them any further.

This feature is only available for the Full single event type and must first be enabled and configured for the specific event.

Offer customers a booking for several consecutive days at once – ideal for rentals and accommodation, which are usually counted in nights or days rather than hours.

This event type lets a customer book one or more consecutive days. In this case, the definition of the events follows on from each other (based on resources), and the system can automatically link such events together. This makes it easy to set, for example, a different price for different days – typically a higher price for weekend accommodation compared to weekdays. Combined with conditional pricing, pricing within this event type can therefore be very flexible.

It's particularly suited to accommodation and space rentals, but you'll also find it useful for all kinds of rental businesses – cars, campervans, e-bikes, or other equipment, where price and availability are calculated at the level of days or nights. By setting a minimum and maximum reservation length, you can easily offer a weekly or weekend rental.

Deliver important information straight to a customer's phone, even in cases where an e-mail message isn't enough for various reasons – reservation confirmation, a reminder before an event, or instructions on how to use the service.

SMS messages are available in the system both as system notifications and as custom messages with any text you like. These can then be automatic, sent in connection with some event, or sent manually directly from a specific customer's detail page, or in bulk to multiple customers at once. SMS messages are limited by their length and what can be communicated, but even so play an important role in keeping customers informed.

An interesting option is using SMS messages for further functionality. This includes verifying a customer's phone number during registration or when creating a new reservation, or as a technical communication channel – for controlling a device using a predefined SMS text, e.g. turning on the sauna heater before the start of a reservation.

Set prices for customers exactly to match your offering – different customer categories, discounts for longer bookings or bookings made well in advance, discount coupons, and any combination of all of these.

The price of a reservation in the reenio system doesn't have to be just a single fixed number – the system provides tools to price your offering intelligently and precisely, in line with how your business works. You can set different pricing categories, for example admission for an individual or a family, which are then automatically factored into the reservation based on the customer's choice.

On top of that, you can tailor the price to the specific circumstances of the reservation – for example, giving a discount to customers who book well in advance, or setting a different rate for a longer stay or rental. Thanks to a custom booking form, you can then easily offer add-on services or a discount for a selected group of customers.

For marketing campaigns and controlled access to selected events, discount coupons are useful, with their own settings for validity and number of uses – whether it's a one-off promotion, a loyalty discount, or a closed group for whom you only open up an event when the corresponding code is used.

The power of this pricing approach lies in the fact that all these tools can be combined and used together as needed. The final price always reflects exactly how you want to offer your services and what the customer themselves chooses.

Reach and communicate with your customers in their own language, whether they're booking from your home country or from abroad – the reservation page and the entire administration can run in multiple language versions at the same time. 4 supported languages are available for the administration, and 7 languages are available for localizing the reservation page.

Custom content that you enter into the system yourself (terms and conditions, resource descriptions, event names, homepage information, etc.) needs to be translated and provided by you. The system offers a clear way to manage information across multiple languages.

Connect the reservation system to other applications, smart devices, or automation processes according to your own needs, using the API (Application Programming Interface).

Being able to use the API interface brings a completely new perspective on how you can work with the data managed and provided by the reservation system. Using HTTP-based queries, you can retrieve specific data about reservations, customer overviews, accounting documents, code lists, and more.

Another important element in this regard is so-called Webhooks. These are notifications that can notify any external system, based on an event that has occurred, that a new reservation has been made, that a payment has been received, and so on. Combining Webhook notifications with subsequently retrieving data via the API can result in a comprehensive implementation of your own data-processing logic.

So if you need to build your own statistics dashboards, control lighting in a hall based on ongoing reservations, turn on sauna heating, or communicate with a smart lock, and so on, then using the API offered by the reservation system is essential. A typical use is also a direct connection to automation services such as Make or Home Assistant. What data and methods the API provides (mostly access to data) is described in detail in the documentation.

Handle payments received in person on the spot too – mark a reservation as paid, generate an accounting document, and print it directly on a POS printer, or accept a card payment right away through a connected payment terminal.

The cash register feature lets you mark a reservation as paid directly in the administration, even when the payment took place outside the online payment gateway, for example in cash at reception. The system can then issue a corresponding accounting document for the payment received this way, respecting the configured document numbering, and so on.

For card payments, the system can also be connected to a payment terminal (SumUp, GP Tom, Comgate), which means a payment request can be sent to the terminal directly with a button in the reservation detail, and after a successful payment the system automatically marks the reservation as paid, creates the payment and document, and sends the customer a confirmation by e-mail, just like with payment via the online gateway.

Don't let customers create reservations online without your say – decide for yourself which reservation to approve. This is useful anywhere a booking request needs to be reviewed first, before you actually assign the customer an event.

The reservation approval feature changes the standard process so that a reservation created by a customer isn't approved right away, but first waits for your approval in the administration. After creating a reservation, the customer is informed that their reservation is awaiting approval, and receives final confirmation (and, if applicable, a prompt for online payment) only once you approve, or alternatively reject, the reservation.

This is useful anywhere you want full control over how events are filled – for example for individual consultations, where you first need to check whether a time slot is suitable, for services that require related preparations to be arranged, or anywhere you want to prevent random or unsuitable reservations.

Offer customers the ability to book exactly where they expect to find your range of events – whether on your own dedicated web address, or embedded directly into your existing website. In both cases, in a form suitable for computers, tablets, and mobiles alike.

The reenio reservation page is the main place where customers choose and book your services. Its web address is up to you to set, and it can take the form of, for example, yourcompany.reenio.cz, or you can set it up directly as a website on your own domain. The page is responsive and adapts its display to different devices without losing content or functionality, and also supports multiple language versions if you're addressing customers from different countries.

Besides a standalone address, the reservation page can also be embedded directly into your existing website using a simple piece of code, so that visitors go through the whole booking process within your own web presence. You can embed either the whole offering, or just a specific event or service, and you can also hide unnecessary elements so the appearance blends in as well as possible with your website.

The content, look, and functionality of the reservation page can be customized to a certain extent – from choosing the basic layout, colour scheme, and content information, all the way to how the offering is displayed and the customer's journey and behaviour.
