reservation system for
your business

Want to know how satisfied your customers are? Just send them a request for a review once the event has ended. The reservation system can help with this and can automatically send, store, and process satisfaction surveys from customers.

Gathering feedback works by combining two features – a review form and custom messages. The review form defines the custom questions of various types that you want answers to, as well as a star rating. This form can then be linked to a custom message, which ensures it's sent to the customer according to defined rules and based on a specific event.

Let customers pay for their reservation or tickets online right away, before the service is provided – faster, more convenient, and with the certainty that the reservation will be paid, and therefore used.

The reenio system allows you to require prepayment as part of the booking process, so a customer's reservation only becomes valid once paid. You decide yourself whether online payment is mandatory, or whether you leave it up to the customer to pay on site. With mandatory payment, you can set a deadline by which a new reservation must be paid, otherwise it is automatically cancelled and the slot is released for another customer.

For online payments you can choose from several supported payment gateways. The reservation system then handles the technical connection and communication with the chosen gateway, but all business and formal matters are handled directly with the payment gateway provider – you keep the money you receive under your own control, in your own merchant account.

• GoPay

  An online payment gateway offering a wide range of payment methods, from card payments to fast bank transfers, Apple Pay, or Google Pay.

• Comgate

  Another Czech payment gateway that also operates in other European countries. Its payment methods vary and cover common needs.

• Stripe

  A global payment gateway that is becoming increasingly popular. It offers fast integration and approval, so you can start accepting payments within minutes.

• Bank transfer

  A special type of payment method where the reservation system itself can generate a QR code for payment and then automatically verify and match received payments.

After a successful payment, the system automatically marks the reservation as paid and generates and sends the customer a payment document. The reenio system offers a wide range of options and features for working with payments, including exports, refunds, and more. However, it should be noted that reenio itself is not an accounting system.

Offer customers a classic bank transfer payment option too, for cases where you don't need instant confirmation – ideal for reservations made well in advance.

Bank transfer payment in the reenio system is especially useful where the deadline for mandatory payment of a reservation is three days or more, or where payment isn't a condition for the reservation to be created at all. The advantage of this approach is that everything happens purely within the reservation system and the bank, without needing an online payment gateway set up. Another advantage is lower costs for processing payments. The downside, on the other hand, is that checking, synchronizing, and the speed of payments is more complex.

The system provides the customer with the payment details (account number, amount, variable symbol – also in the form of a popular payment QR code) needed to send the payment, and based on the variable symbol, the payment can then be traced and matched to a specific reservation or, in the case of gift coupons, a purchase. Matching can be done manually directly in the administration, or automatically – you just need to set up your supported bank to send notifications of incoming payments to a unique e-mail address. As soon as such a notification arrives from the bank, the system matches the payment based on the variable symbol and marks the reservation as paid itself.

Bank transfer is usually also available as one of the methods within the online payment gateway, though in that case enabling it is more of a complication, since it combines completely different payment methods into a single solution. As with other payment methods, the system automatically issues and sends the customer the relevant accounting document the moment the payment is matched.

Offer customers the option to save their ticket, reservation, or coupon directly to their phone, in an app they already know and use – Apple Wallet or Google Wallet.

The reenio system lets customers add the QR code for a reservation or ticket directly to their Apple or Google system wallet, so the customer doesn't need to look up a confirmation e-mail or print a document – the code is saved right on their phone, where they can easily find it when they arrive.

The same option can also be used with coupons – meaning QR codes for gift coupons, discount codes, and punch cards. For a coupon that's drawn down gradually, this solution has one huge advantage: the customer can see their current balance directly in their phone's wallet.

For the customer, this is primarily about convenience and a lower risk of losing or forgetting a ticket or coupon – for you, it means a somewhat smoother and faster check-in process for tickets and coupons.

The reservation system can automatically inform customers, as well as admins and employees, about what's happening around reservations – you can set up system notifications according to your needs and the way you operate.

System notifications are automatic e-mails and SMS messages that the system sends on behalf of your reservation page without any further action on your part. These include confirmation of a successful reservation, confirmation of cancellation, confirmation of payment, reservation approval, a PDF with reservation codes, a reminder of an upcoming event, and more.

For each event type in the settings, you determine which channel it should be sent through – e-mail, SMS, or both – and, if relevant, how far in advance. For example, a reminder about an upcoming event can be sent 24 hours and also 3 hours in advance. Sending, of course, assumes you have the corresponding customer contact details available.

• For customers

  All communication and information from the system to the customer, including a reminder so a reservation doesn't lapse unnecessarily.

• For administrators

  To provide a basic overview of what's happening in the system without needing to constantly check and log into the administration.

• For employees

  Ideal when a specific employee needs to be notified that a reservation for their services has been made and they need to plan for it.

Unlike custom messages, these are messages with a fixed, predefined content reflecting reservation information – their content or form cannot be freely edited, only when and to whom they are sent can be configured.

Offer customers the ability to book exactly where they expect to find your range of events – whether on your own dedicated web address, or embedded directly into your existing website. In both cases, in a form suitable for computers, tablets, and mobiles alike.

The reenio reservation page is the main place where customers choose and book your services. Its web address is up to you to set, and it can take the form of, for example, yourcompany.reenio.cz, or you can set it up directly as a website on your own domain. The page is responsive and adapts its display to different devices without losing content or functionality, and also supports multiple language versions if you're addressing customers from different countries.

Besides a standalone address, the reservation page can also be embedded directly into your existing website using a simple piece of code, so that visitors go through the whole booking process within your own web presence. You can embed either the whole offering, or just a specific event or service, and you can also hide unnecessary elements so the appearance blends in as well as possible with your website.

The content, look, and functionality of the reservation page can be customized to a certain extent – from choosing the basic layout, colour scheme, and content information, all the way to how the offering is displayed and the customer's journey and behaviour.

The reenio reservation system runs primarily on Microsoft Azure, one of the most widespread and thoroughly vetted cloud solutions in the world. Running in the cloud means you don't have to worry about your own servers, their maintenance, or backing up data – the infrastructure, availability, and security are handled by Microsoft, which invests heavily in the performance, security, and certification of the Azure platform over the long term. Some selected services also run on Amazon Web Services (AWS).

The Microsoft Azure platform was the first cloud solution in the Czech Republic to be vetted and listed in the eGovernment cloud computing catalogue, with the highest achievable security level, BÚ3. Running in such a vetted environment brings greater resilience against attacks or outages, modern data security, and continuous security updates already at the level of the platform itself.

Thanks to cloud operation, the reservation system is accessible from anywhere with an internet connection and can flexibly respond to growing demands – whether in terms of number of customers, reservations, or the volume of data.

Easily get data about reservations and customers out of the reenio system, and then work with it in Excel, using AI, or use it for importing into other systems, for example for e-mail marketing.

Overviews of reservations and customers can be easily exported to Excel at any time, including data from your own custom booking and registration forms.

Besides a simple data export, the reservation system can also be connected to other systems using the API or webhooks, letting you pass data programmatically and in real time, as well as work with it at the level of its data structure.

Connect the reservation system to other applications, smart devices, or automation processes according to your own needs, using the API (Application Programming Interface).

Being able to use the API interface brings a completely new perspective on how you can work with the data managed and provided by the reservation system. Using HTTP-based queries, you can retrieve specific data about reservations, customer overviews, accounting documents, code lists, and more.

Another important element in this regard is so-called Webhooks. These are notifications that can notify any external system, based on an event that has occurred, that a new reservation has been made, that a payment has been received, and so on. Combining Webhook notifications with subsequently retrieving data via the API can result in a comprehensive implementation of your own data-processing logic.

So if you need to build your own statistics dashboards, control lighting in a hall based on ongoing reservations, turn on sauna heating, or communicate with a smart lock, and so on, then using the API offered by the reservation system is essential. A typical use is also a direct connection to automation services such as Make or Home Assistant. What data and methods the API provides (mostly access to data) is described in detail in the documentation.

Offer customers a booking for several consecutive days at once – ideal for rentals and accommodation, which are usually counted in nights or days rather than hours.

This event type lets a customer book one or more consecutive days. In this case, the definition of the events follows on from each other (based on resources), and the system can automatically link such events together. This makes it easy to set, for example, a different price for different days – typically a higher price for weekend accommodation compared to weekdays. Combined with conditional pricing, pricing within this event type can therefore be very flexible.

It's particularly suited to accommodation and space rentals, but you'll also find it useful for all kinds of rental businesses – cars, campervans, e-bikes, or other equipment, where price and availability are calculated at the level of days or nights. By setting a minimum and maximum reservation length, you can easily offer a weekly or weekend rental.

Reach and communicate with your customers in their own language, whether they're booking from your home country or from abroad – the reservation page and the entire administration can run in multiple language versions at the same time. 4 supported languages are available for the administration, and 7 languages are available for localizing the reservation page.

Custom content that you enter into the system yourself (terms and conditions, resource descriptions, event names, homepage information, etc.) needs to be translated and provided by you. The system offers a clear way to manage information across multiple languages.

Offer your customers gift coupons for your services, and at the same time let them buy gift coupons online – the customer immediately receives their coupon by e-mail and can give it as a gift or use it right away.

Gift coupons are part of the broader discount coupon and punch card functionality, with a similar approach and possible uses for all these tools. You create a coupon with predefined parameters – a set validity period, discount amount, or value – and assign it to specific events it can be applied to (so you can have different coupons for different service offerings, or events that don't accept coupons at all). The customer then receives a coupon code, either directly from you or through an online purchase.

• One-off redeemable amount

  A classic coupon with a fixed monetary value, typically for one-off use as a gift.

• Percentage discount

  A discount coupon for a proportional amount, typically suitable for giving to new customers or as a punch card, etc.

• Gradually redeemable amount

  The coupon has a certain monetary value which is used up gradually – a form of virtual wallet.

• No discount

  A type of coupon that doesn't adjust the price at all, but can be used, for example, to restrict reservations to a limited group of customers.

For genuine gift coupons, the ability to create your own design (PDF) is important, reflecting not just your visual style and intended use, but also allowing space for a dedication and so on.
