How the PaddlePals Booking System Works

From first login to handling live bookings, PaddlePals is designed around how real racket clubs and sports facilities work every day.

1. Set Up Your Courts & Schedules

Add each court (padel, tennis, pickleball, multi‑sport), define opening hours and price bands for peak / off‑peak slots. Your live court schedule is generated automatically.

2. Handle Phone, Walk‑In & Online Bookings

Staff use the booking grid and fast New Booking form to capture phone and walk‑in reservations, while online bookings from your public pages drop into the same system.

3. Monitor Utilisation & Revenue in Real Time

Use the dashboard to see today’s bookings, court utilisation and revenue at a glance. Spot quiet patches, manage waiting lists and keep managers fully in control.

From Dashboard Overview to Individual Bookings

These are the exact booking tools your team will use every day – dashboards, stats, schedules and a booking form that’s fast enough to use while standing courtside.

Court Booking Features Built for Busy Facilities

Everything you’d expect from modern court booking software, plus the details that matter when you’re running a real club with members, teams and multiple sports.

Flexible Time Slot Control

Configure slot lengths, buffer times and booking windows for different courts and activities. Perfect for coaching blocks, social sessions and standard hourly bookings.

Member & Public Bookings

Allow members to log in and book directly, while still giving staff the tools to create bookings for guests, teams, events and block bookings from the same interface.

Cancellations & Changes

Update, move or cancel bookings with a couple of clicks. Keep a clear record of who changed what and when, so there’s no confusion at reception or on court.

Reminders & No‑Show Reduction

Optional email or message reminders help reduce no‑shows and late cancellations. Combine with PaddlePals CRM tools to keep courts busy and players informed.

Booking System – FAQ

How the PaddlePals Booking System fits into your day‑to‑day operations.

Does the booking system work with my existing courts and member CRM?

Yes. The Booking System is part of PaddlePals Manager, so it works alongside your court profiles, Stripe payments and member CRM. Courts, bookings and members all stay connected in one platform.

Can I run both online self‑service bookings and staff‑only bookings?

Yes. Many clubs allow members to book certain courts and times online while keeping other slots reserved for staff‑managed bookings, teams or coaching programmes. You decide which courts and sessions are visible for self‑service booking.

Does the booking system support multi‑sport facilities?

PaddlePals works for padel, tennis, pickleball, badminton, squash and five‑a‑side courts. You can manage different sports, surfaces and court types from the same booking grid, with clear labels and filters.

Can I export booking and revenue data for reports?

Yes. Booking and revenue data from the PaddlePals Booking System can be exported for analysis, accounting and board reports. Use it alongside the Revenue Manager to see exactly how your court utilisation translates into income.

Can staff add bookings manually as well as online bookings?

Absolutely. Staff can add bookings manually using the New Booking form – perfect for walk‑ins and phone bookings – while online bookings from your court profiles are also added automatically.

Will I be able to see pending vs confirmed bookings?

Yes. Pending bookings are clearly highlighted in the stats and the schedule grid with their own colour, so you can chase confirmations or free up space when needed.

How long does it take to learn the system?

Most staff are comfortable within a single shift. The layout is simple: overview, stats, filters, schedule and a clear New Booking button – exactly what people expect from a modern booking system.
