Your facility’s success depends entirely on your venue’s operations, and the only way to compete in today’s market is to use a solution that takes operational work off your plate so you can focus on growing revenue. For indoor golf facilities, that means choosing the right golf simulator booking software and setting up smart rules that protect revenue, reduce admin work, and improve customer experience.
These frequently asked questions are pulled directly from real conversations with our indoor golf clients. If you are managing bookings or evaluating a new system, this FAQ outlines exactly how AllBooked supports hands-off operations, drives revenue, and keeps your facility running efficiently.
Q: Can I set peak and off peak pricing per bay?
A: Absolutely. With AllBooked, you can set rates based on time of day, day of week, individual bays, booking duration, and more. This is ideal if certain bays are more popular or offer premium technology and you want to create an exclusive, high-end experience.
A dynamic pricing model like this helps you maximize revenue during busy hours while encouraging play during slower periods. It is one of the most effective ways to increase indoor golf bookings and maintain steady revenue without raising prices across the board. See how one of our indoor golf clients used this approach to drive measurable results.

Q: Can memberships or premier members book further in advance?
A: Yes. With AllBooked, you can assign different booking rules to different customer groups, tailoring the platform to your business strategy. You control pricing, access, visibility, booking windows, session durations, and more for each group, making it easy to give members earlier access + added benefits compared to walk-in players.
Once these rules are in place, AllBooked enforces them automatically. Members only see and access what you assign, keeping your team hands off over the long term.

Q: Can I require deposits or enforce cancellation windows?
A: Yes. With AllBooked, you can require deposits and enforce cancellation windows as part of the booking process. You’re in full control of how far in advance a booking can be canceled and when customers are charged, whether payment is collected at booking or forfeited if the cancellation occurs after the lock-in period.
Once these rules are set, AllBooked enforces them automatically. Customers see the policy upfront, and your team does not need to manage exceptions or follow up manually, keeping revenue protected and operations running smoothly.
Q: Can I run a 24/7 unmanned facility with smart locks?
A: Yes, and this is one of the most valuable features we deliver. AllBooked automates the entire booking and access flow, making it possible to run a 24/7 unmanned indoor golf facility with smart locks. Doors can unlock automatically at the start of a session or remain unlocked for the duration of the booking, while secure access links can also be distributed that are valid only during the reserved time.
This kind of automation—literally—opens the door to more revenue by allowing venues to operate round-the-clock, while fully removing the need for on site staff.

Q: Can I control how long sessions can be booked?
A: Yes, 100%. With AllBooked, you can set minimum and maximum session lengths to control how long bookings can be made. This helps prevent short sessions that create unusable gaps and longer bookings that block prime availability.
Once these rules are in place, AllBooked enforces them automatically, keeping your schedule optimized and bays in play throughout the day.

Q: Can I automate confirmations and reminders?
A: Absolutely. AllBooked automatically sends booking confirmations and reminders that include everything customers need to know before their session, from timing and location details to access instructions and facility rules.
This leaves no question unanswered, cuts down on booking back and forth, and ensures every customer arrives prepared. For unmanned facilities, this kind of automation is essential to delivering a smooth, staff free experience.

Q: Are bookings automatically released if someone cancels?
A: Yes. When an indoor golf booking is canceled, that time slot is automatically released and made available for others to book.
This happens instantly, so open time goes right back into your schedule without any manual work from your team. This keeps bays full, minimizes lost revenue from cancellations, and ensures availability always reflects real time demand.

Once a member logs in or is recognized by the system, the correct pricing is applied without staff involvement or manual overrides. This keeps the checkout experience smooth, while ensuring pricing is applied exactly as intended across every booking.
