Bay Booking & Tee Sheet Built for Simulators

Customers book online, deposits kill no-shows, and the tee sheet finally understands what a bay is.

Birdie's booking system is a bay-by-bay tee sheet made for golf simulator facilities: customers book online, deposits and card-on-file cut no-shows, buffers and block-outs keep the floor sane, and recurring bookings hold their slot automatically. It replaces the generic scheduler that was never meant to run bays.

  • Your scheduler thinks a bay is a haircut.

    Generic booking tools have no idea what a simulator bay is — no bay logic, no buffers, no back-to-back overruns. You end up policing the calendar by hand.

  • No-shows eat your Friday nights.

    Without deposits or a card on file, prime slots die with a 6:40pm text that says "can’t make it." The bay sits dark and the revenue is gone.

  • You are the booking system.

    League nights, lessons, walk-ins, reschedules — when everything routes through your phone, the tee sheet lives in your head and follows you home.

A tee sheet that thinks in bays

Bay columns, hour rows, and rules a simulator actually needs: cleaning buffers between sessions, block-outs for maintenance or leagues, and per-bay hours. The whole floor on one screen.

  • Bay-by-bay grid with per-bay availability
  • Buffers between sessions, set once
  • Block a bay for leagues, lessons, or repairs

How deposits and card-on-file end no-shows

Take a deposit at booking or hold a card on file, on your policy. Late cancels and ghosts stop being free, and prime-time slots get treated like the inventory they are.

  • Deposits at booking, sized your way
  • Card on file for no-show charges
  • Refunds and reschedules without a spreadsheet

Recurring bookings that hold their slot

Weekly league night, the Tuesday regular, the standing lesson — recurring bookings generate on a rolling 90-day window so the slot is always protected without cluttering the calendar a year out.

  • Weekly and custom repeat patterns
  • Rolling 90-day generation
  • One edit updates the whole series

Online booking your customers actually finish

Your branded booking page shows real availability, takes payment, and confirms by text. No calls, no back-and-forth, no third-party branding between you and your customer.

  • Real-time availability, no double-booking
  • SMS confirmations and reminders
  • Runs inside your white-label customer portal

Common Questions

1 Can customers book without calling us?

Yes — that is the point. Your branded booking page shows live availability by bay, takes payment or a deposit, and sends an SMS confirmation. The phone becomes the exception, not the front door.

2 Can we require deposits?

Yes, on your policy: full prepay, a fixed deposit, or a card on file that only gets charged on a no-show. You choose per rate or time block.

3 Can I block a bay for a league or repairs?

Yes. Block-outs take a bay (or the whole floor) offline for any window — league nights, lessons, a projector swap — and online booking respects it instantly.

4 How far out can customers book?

You set the booking window. Most facilities open 2–4 weeks for the public while members book further out; recurring bookings protect their slots on a rolling 90-day horizon.
