Padel doesn't book like tennis. Slots are usually 90 minutes, matches are four players who often want to split the bill, evenings sell out while mid-mornings sit empty, and the academy wants the same courts your members do. This is a booking system built around those facts rather than around a generic hourly slot.
Almost none of it is taking the booking. It's the four things that happen around it.
Padel demand concentrates hard into weekday evenings and weekend mornings. A club with the same rate all day is leaving margin on the peak hours and running empty courts through the middle of the day. Rate bands per court, per hour, plus member-only off-peak pricing, are the levers — and utilisation reporting by hour is how you find out which hours are actually the problem.
The organiser fronts the court and then chases three friends for their share on WhatsApp. Open matches let each player pay their own place at checkout, which removes the chasing and — because each player now has an account with you — turns three anonymous guests into three contactable customers.
Coaching blocks, junior squads and americanos all want prime courts at prime times. When they live in a separate diary you find out about the clash on the night. Coaching, academy blocks, events and public bookings share one calendar here, with rosters and coach assignment attached.
A no-show at 19:00 on a Tuesday is the most expensive hour you own. Deposits or full prepayment at booking, a cancellation window that fits your club, and automatic reminders are the standard defences — and the cancellation window only works if the released court goes back on sale automatically.
Four courts, two rate bands, a member tier and an academy is a twenty-minute setup, not a project.
Each court gets its slot length, minimum duration, booking window and buffer. Indoor, outdoor and singles courts can differ.
Peak and off-peak bands by hour and day, a member rate, and any promotional window you want to run.
Connect your own Stripe, Checkout.com or Paymob account. Deposits or full prepayment, your choice per booking type.
Add coaches, academy squads and americanos onto the same grid, with rosters and per-player payment.
Real Sports OS reads your own booking data and tells you where the money is going missing. Segmentation is on every plan and Starter includes two brand-presence audit reports; ranked opportunities and the campaign builder are on Pro.
Utilisation by hour and court, so the off-peak conversation starts from your actual grid rather than a hunch about "weekday mornings".
Regulars, lapsed, first-timers, off-peak-only. Segments are built from booking behaviour, so a player who has stopped coming surfaces before they've gone for good.
A ranked opportunity comes with a drafted message and an audience already defined. Nothing sends without a human approving it.
Yes. Slot length, minimum duration and the increments a player can book are set per court, so a club can run 90 minutes at peak and allow 60-minute bookings off-peak on the same court without leaving unbookable gaps.
The booking holds the court and the places on it separately, so an organiser can open the remaining slots and each player pays their own share at checkout. If the match does not fill by your cut-off, the organiser decides whether to cover the difference or release the court.
Yes. Member rates are a pricing rule, not a discount code, so a member sees their own price on the booking page and does not need to be told about it. Rates can vary by hour and by court, which is how most clubs make off-peak worth playing.
Yes — these are run as events that hold multiple courts for a block, with a participant list and per-player payment. They appear on the same calendar as normal court hire, so staff can see at a glance what is blocked and what is still sellable.
They land in your calendar through marketplace and partner integrations and are tagged with their channel, so your utilisation and revenue reports can separate marketplace bookings from bookings made on your own site.
