How do you handle bookings for your retreat centre?
Are you wholly, or partially online, or are you still paper driven, manually processing hundreds of small, repetitive tasks per week? If you could do with saving time and paper in the office, using a computerised booking system for retreat centres, tailored especially for your retreat centre, and your needs, please read on.
The problem with existing booking systems for retreat centres is, that our clients, who run retreat centres, said that the only software package they could find and adapt was for hotels and did only 80% of what they needed it to do, resulting in a frustrating 20% of the operational tasks still being handled manually. Therefore it wasn’t a complete solution for them.
Pity, that. The reason for this is that retreat centres operate differently to hotels, which is where most of the booking systems in common use by retreat centres have their roots. It is rare to find a booking system that covers ALL the tasks you need to do, for retreat centre bookings - but we have designed an actual booking system for retreat centres, especially to change all that!
The Solution - We have been working together with our retreat centre clients and our creative team started from scratch, designing a dedicated booking system purely for retreat centre use alone. It works to handle bookings for large retreat centres, small retreat centres, retreat centres that have lots of events or only a few. Ready to discuss retreat centre bookings - at no obligation? Do read on and click the link at the bottom, to get in touch and find out how well it works for them. We are happy to offer a personal online (and no-obligation) demonstration of the booking system for retreat centres, for just one hour, to explain how this package could work for you. If you are interested please contact us to book a time that suits you!
Designed and tailored for your EXACT needs, our demonstration booking system for retreat centres involves three key features:
- the front end booking system,
- the website
- the back end booking management system.
N.B. The back end of the booking system is not accessible to the public and can only be accessed via password protected GDPR friendly logins set at different levels for different members of staff.
The package includes courses that you can put on/add yourself, but it also caters for retreat centres that are, effectively, venue hire, where the organisation and the booking of events is done by third parties such as schools, Local Authorities and churches themselves. Obviously, you are in total control of all bookings and payments can be taken online and directed straight to your bank account.
Although it is not a hotel based system, the booking system also accommodates BnB Bookings, and event management as well as event hire. All the elements in the package can be adjusted to cover all of them - even if you do all three at the same time. The system will allow multiple bookings per day for different events per day, if you are a large retreat centre or it will manage the details for a small retreat centre just as well. There are plenty of possibilities to grow your retreat centre, and the booking system can grow with you, with upgrades handled by our team here in Eastbourne for you.
If you are interested to learn more, please call us to book an hour’s demo to talk through your requirements at a screen sharing Zoom meeting, so you can see all aspects of the system working, and ask any questions that occur to you.
If you would like to just see the front end on its own, to give you an idea of what your booking system for retreat centres could look like to visitors, please contact us and we will be happy to send you the link.
We have been making websites and booking systems for over 20 years for a wide variety of clients and our booking systems for retreat centres have been tried and tested out in the field, by our clients. Our team in Eastbourne are happy to take calls during office hours to answer any queries you might have, and deal with them during the life of your booking system. So you are never left frustrated by Chatbots if you have a question you need answering.
