reservation system for
your business

Tailor the reservation system to your business – whether you run a sports facility, a beauty salon, a rental business, or organize educational courses, the system can flexibly respond to the various needs and ideas linked to your particular type of business. Of course, it's still a universal cloud system rather than a custom-built solution, so some very specific ideas about how it should work or look might not actually be achievable.

The system offers a wide range of settings that make it easier to tailor booking to your specific customers and business. The foundation of this flexibility is the different event types (Full single event, Intervals, Full sequence, Any time, Multi-day, Coupon, Seat reservation), from which you can choose the most suitable one – from one-off workshops, through hourly rentals of sports facilities, to multi-day stays or selling event tickets.

Building on this foundation is a whole range of further settings that let you fine-tune the process further: custom booking forms for collecting specific data, various types of prices and discounts, online payments and payment by credit, reservation approval, waiting lists, collision protection between resources, or automated communication using system and custom messages. Thanks to user roles, you can also involve your whole team with correctly set permissions, and connect the reservation system to other systems as needed via the API or webhooks.

So the system grows together with your business – from a simple setup with minimal configuration, all the way to a comprehensive solution using most of the available features at once.

Offer loyal customers a more convenient way to pay for repeat visits – a punch card for a set number of visits or value, or top-up customer credit.

The reenio system offers several ways to let customers pay for reservations based on a previously prepaid value, instead of individual direct payments.

Punch cards work as a special type of coupon with a set number of visits or a gradually drawn-down amount (credit-based punch card). Applying the punch card code adjusts the reservation price accordingly, either by subtracting a defined amount or applying a discount of up to 100%. These codes don't have to be tied to a specific registered customer account, so they can be used easily and flexibly. They can also be restricted to specific events, so you clearly define which offered activities a punch card can be used for and which not.

Customer credit, on the other hand, works as a virtual wallet linked to a registered and logged-in customer account. A customer can top up their credit themselves online via a payment gateway (potentially with a bonus), or you can top it up manually in the administration, for example when paying in cash at reception. A credit wallet can in principle also have an expiration set.

Both solutions can be used effectively together with online payments, where the whole process of purchasing punch cards or credit can be fully automated. There are many possibilities, and it always depends on your specific settings and how you think through how and under what rules these customer-loyalty tools will work for your particular type of business.

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.

Want to know how satisfied your customers are? Just send them a request for a review once the event has ended. The reservation system can help with this and can automatically send, store, and process satisfaction surveys from customers.

Gathering feedback works by combining two features – a review form and custom messages. The review form defines the custom questions of various types that you want answers to, as well as a star rating. This form can then be linked to a custom message, which ensures it's sent to the customer according to defined rules and based on a 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.

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.

Unlike other event types, the Coupon event type doesn't force the customer to choose a specific date and time to use the reserved services. The reservation only tells them the period during which they can use the service. That's exactly why this event type isn't suitable for services limited by capacity or a specific time – it doesn't let you set an overall capacity, because it isn't known in advance exactly when the customer will use their reservation.

This event type, or rather these reservations, are suitable anywhere you want to sell your services (typically in the form of tickets) while it doesn't much matter exactly when customers arrive, or what the limiting capacity is. Typical uses therefore include various exhibitions, zoos, historical sites, or various forms of access passes.

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.

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.

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.

Calendar synchronization lets you connect the reenio system with an external calendar. This is typically a connection with Google Calendar, and is set up simply by logging in with your Google account and granting access.

Reservations created in the reenio system will appear in your calendar, but the reverse doesn't happen – reservations aren't created from events in your Google Calendar (the booking process is complex enough that a calendar event alone isn't sufficient). In the other direction, i.e. from Google Calendar into the reenio system, synchronization is therefore only limited – events can be synchronized as time blocks, so that no new reservation can be created for that particular date and time.

Try the reenio system with no risk and no time limit for free, and only move to a paid plan when you need more, based on the scope and needs of your business.

The FREE plan can be used permanently and completely free of charge – ideal for trying out the system, or for a smaller operation with a low number of reservations. This plan doesn't have some features available and has a limit on the number of reservations per month.

For full use of the system, there are paid packages available on a monthly subscription basis (BUSINESS and PREMIUM), which differ in the range of features available (e.g. advanced integrations, gift coupons) as well as in the maximum number of reservations or resources.

• FREE

  A basic mode suitable for trying out, testing, or running a small-scale operation with a low number of reservations.

• BUSINESS

  The most commonly chosen plan, suitable for regular operation and managing reservations.

• PREMIUM

  Offers all features and the highest limits, best supporting your business and its growth.

The reenio reservation system works as a typical SaaS cloud solution – it doesn't require any installation or upfront investment; you just need to register and can start using the system right away, with the subscription price depending on the chosen plan and the scale of your operation.

Across all plans, credits are also used, which serve to pay for services that are charged based on volume (e.g. sending SMS messages, file storage, or online payments) – as part of the subscription, everyone receives a certain amount of credits as part of the price.
