LaneBooker is the plug-and-play booking and ops platform built for small venues. Drop a widget on your site, take deposits with Stripe, run the whole shop from one staff portal. Setup in an afternoon, not a quarter.
Built by people who've worked the front desk. Every feature earns its keep.
One <script> tag. Drop it on any site — WordPress, Wix, Squarespace. Your booking flow, your branding, no dev work after setup.
Real-time lane availability at half-hour granularity. Staff and customers always see the same truth — no more double-bookings.
Charge $20/head dropping to $15 for groups of 4+, OR price by the lane — $35/hour with a bumper-lane upcharge for kids' parties. Brackets, day-of-week rules, peak hours — all configurable. No spreadsheet required.
Built-in Stripe integration. Require a deposit up front, cut no-shows in half, settle directly to your account. You control the rules.
Rock-n-Bowl, Glow Bowl, birthday packages — paint them onto your schedule with deep-link booking URLs you can share anywhere.
Revenue, utilization, average party size, theme-night lift. The numbers you need to decide what to run next weekend — not 40-column CSVs.
Sell weekly camps with capacity caps and tiered early-bird pricing. Per-kid registration, deep-link from any marketing image, automatic price flip on cutoff date.
This is the same widget your customers will use. Click through — nothing actually books.
Schedule, reports, customers, pricing — all one click away. No setup. No training videos.
Three steps between you and your first online booking.
Magic-link login, no password to forget. You'll have a staff portal in under two minutes.
Add your lanes, set your hours, lay down pricing brackets and theme nights. We import your existing config if you've got one.
Paste one line into your website. Your customers book themselves. You watch the schedule fill in real time.
Pick the tier that fits your lane count. Upgrade or cancel anytime.
