reservation system for
your business

Don't let customers create reservations online without your say – decide for yourself which reservation to approve. This is useful anywhere a booking request needs to be reviewed first, before you actually assign the customer an event.

The reservation approval feature changes the standard process so that a reservation created by a customer isn't approved right away, but first waits for your approval in the administration. After creating a reservation, the customer is informed that their reservation is awaiting approval, and receives final confirmation (and, if applicable, a prompt for online payment) only once you approve, or alternatively reject, the reservation.

This is useful anywhere you want full control over how events are filled – for example for individual consultations, where you first need to check whether a time slot is suitable, for services that require related preparations to be arranged, or anywhere you want to prevent random or unsuitable reservations.

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.

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.

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.

You can connect reservations in the reenio system directly with supported smart locks and thus automatically control customer access.

Supported locks include Igloohome (offline operation is also possible thanks to algoPIN technology), Nuki, and the Unifi Access system from Ubiquiti. Each has its own specifics and is an ideal solution for different types of operation and scenarios.

• Igloohome

  Not just online operation via an internet gateway, but also a standard offline mode using the algoPIN algorithm.

• Nuki

  A well-known and proven smart lock brand with an online cloud solution.

• Unifi Access

  A professional solution for demanding operations, enabling full access control and integration with, for example, a camera system.

The whole process can work according to your specific settings, but typically, for example 1 hour before a paid reservation begins, a unique PIN code valid only for that customer and for the duration of their reservation is automatically generated and sent to them. With Igloohome there is an option where the lock doesn't need to be connected to the internet and the customer still receives a unique PIN code. However, an online connection offers greater flexibility and control over access.

To use this integration, you need to have the REENIO Connect feature active in the administration and the ability to use Custom messages, through which the automation itself takes place. The unique PIN code is then sent to the customer via e-mail or SMS.

Connect your reservation page with Google Analytics or the Facebook Pixel and track how successful your campaigns are, gaining important data. At the same time, you can use the system to communicate with customers in an automated and efficient way, retaining them, motivating them, or gathering feedback.

You can add tracking code for Google Analytics, the Facebook Pixel, or similar tools to your reservation page, and track visitor behaviour as well as conversions from advertising campaigns.

The reenio reservation system also offers a whole range of tools for staying in touch with customers at different stages of the customer lifecycle. For example, using custom messages, you can automatically send a satisfaction survey shortly after an event ends and gather feedback without having to reach out to customers manually. In the same way, a customer who hasn't made a booking for a while can be encouraged to return with a reminder or offer, or you can wish them a happy birthday or name day and add a gift coupon straight away. Thanks to tags, customers can also be automatically sorted according to which service they used, and you can work with them further in a targeted way as part of your own marketing activities.

Don't lose customers just because an event is already fully booked – let them sign up for a waiting list and automatically notify them as soon as a place opens up for them because an earlier customer cancels their reservation.

The waiting list feature lets customers express interest in a reservation even when an event no longer has free capacity. A reservation doesn't get created for them at that point yet – the system simply records their interest, including their details. As soon as the corresponding capacity becomes available (e.g. another customer cancels their reservation), the system automatically picks a waiting-list candidate from the queue based on order and capacity and creates a standard reservation for them with everything that entails – sending a confirmation, a possible payment request, cancellation rules, and so on. If a candidate on the waiting list doesn't get a spot, the system no longer notifies them any further.

This feature is only available for the Full single event type and must first be enabled and configured for the specific event.

The reenio mobile app (Android and iOS) is mainly used for quick and easy on-the-spot online check-in of individual reservations and tickets. It also includes an overview calendar of reservations and a customer list, so a reservation can be found even without knowing the specific code.

The app is therefore intended for administrators or other users (e.g. temp staff, front-of-house staff, receptionists) who need fast, hands-on access to data and information. This also means that a user doesn't need access to the full system administration to log into the app – a special authorization QR code can be used to log in instead.

A reservation code is primarily scanned as a QR code using the mobile device's camera, but it can also be entered manually or looked up. For larger numbers of visitors, it's a good idea to get a mobile device with a hardware laser code scanner – scanning is significantly faster and more reliable. Combined with automatic check-in mode, where, if everything about the reservation/ticket is in order, the code is automatically marked as checked in a moment after scanning, this becomes a very fast helper.

The app can also check in individual places within a single reservation (e.g. specific seats), and besides reservations it can also handle redeeming coupons or punch cards by scanning their code.

Running events that are only accessible online? Sell entry to webinars, online courses, or other events that take place purely online, while keeping control over who actually gets access to that content.

An add-on for the Full single event or Coupon event type lets you effectively create a reservation or sell a ticket for an event that doesn't take place physically but rather as an online broadcast or communication – typically a webinar, online workshop, concert, theatre performance, meeting, or online class.

Supported platforms include Youtube, Zoom, or Vimeo, which can be integrated through the reservation page into a secure player. This content protection works so that a customer accesses the online event via their reservation code. The reservation code can be used for the whole duration of the event, and an extension can optionally be set. Importantly, the online content is only accessible with the corresponding restriction and through integration into the reservation page, not on the online platform itself.

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 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.
