Streamline your booking process with Bookteq | video tutorial

 

The pandemic has meant sports venues up and down the country are looking for ways to streamline their booking process. COVID-19 has affected the daily operations of sports venues, leaving many short-staffed due to the furlough scheme.

Bookteq (by Playfinder) the all in one management solution has helped its clients free up more time through its slick online calendar and automated invoicing. Venue managers who operate manually can spend hours each day editing and uploading new bookings slots, not if you use Bookteq!

Uploading new bookings on the Bookteq software is seamless whether it’s a single booking, multi-booking or event. The process has never been more straightforward. The software allows the venue manager to alter a reoccurring block booking, so they don’t need to repeat the process for every week of the booking. Once the booking has been confirmed you will immediately see the bookings appear on your calendar, presented using our cascading feature.
