Online Booking: The Latest Necessity For Karting Centers

The days of making phone calls or—heaven forbid—physically going somewhere to make a reservation, are over. Today everyone is online, including your customers. But simply having a website with your contact details won’t cut it anymore. To stay ahead of the curve, every karting center needs to have an online booking system.

Providing online booking streamlines the reservation process for your staff and your patrons. Visitors can automatically see where you have openings and book, rather than keeping your employees on the phone while they search reservation records.

How Does Online Booking Work?

Once the software has been installed, most online booking programs are integrated into your karting center’s existing website. From there, the reservation process is extremely straightforward and simple for your guests.

Guests click on the ‘booking’ button and enter the desired date and activity.
All available time slots for the day appear. Guests click on the slot and they are interested in and enter their contact details.
They can choose to either pay immediately or pay on arrival.
The online booking schedule is automatically updated with the new reservation and contact details. Staff are immediately notified and guests receive a confirmation email with a link back to their reservation.

Kartbaan Winterswijk: “I don’t want to work without it anymore!”

Over the last 23 years, SMS-Timing has witnessed longtime partner Kartbaan Winterswijk grow from a karting track into a popular multi-venue family entertainment center with over 15 activities. Like most FEC’s, staff workloads became overwhelming and tedious, particularly during peak times. That all changed a few years ago when Kartbaan Winterswijk transitioned to SMS-Timing's Online Booking system.

General Manager Antoinette Ter Steege comments: “We use the booking system of SMS-Timing software for all of our activities. In the blink of an eye, we can see what to expect each day and where we need our employees. We’re also capable of handling all aspects of payment within the system. With everything in one program, working is so much easier on a daily basis.”

She adds: “At first we didn’t like the idea of not having direct contact with the customers during the reservation process. But since we’ve started using online booking, I love it! This system takes a lot of stress out of missing phone calls. I don’t want to work without it anymore!”
