reservation system for
your business

Handle payments received in person on the spot too – mark a reservation as paid, generate an accounting document, and print it directly on a POS printer, or accept a card payment right away through a connected payment terminal.

The cash register feature lets you mark a reservation as paid directly in the administration, even when the payment took place outside the online payment gateway, for example in cash at reception. The system can then issue a corresponding accounting document for the payment received this way, respecting the configured document numbering, and so on.

For card payments, the system can also be connected to a payment terminal (SumUp, GP Tom, Comgate), which means a payment request can be sent to the terminal directly with a button in the reservation detail, and after a successful payment the system automatically marks the reservation as paid, creates the payment and document, and sends the customer a confirmation by e-mail, just like with payment via the online gateway.

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 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.

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.

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.

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.

Split the work in the administration across your whole team while staying in control of who can see, edit, and configure what – from full administrator access down to simply viewing reservations.

Any number of users, each under their own account, can have access to the reenio reservation system's administration. The system offers several user roles which, combined with specific permissions, clearly define what activities a given user is allowed to carry out.

• Administrator

  Full access to all data and settings.

• Employee

  A flexible role typically for users who manage reservations, events, and communicate with customers, and so on.

• Receptionist

  A role designed for quickly and efficiently working with existing reservations, creating them, and checking them in.

• Read-only

  A supplementary role intended purely for access to information, typically as a safe way to view data.

Thanks to user roles and permissions, working with reservations can be entrusted to other people without them needing access to the reservation page settings or other system parameters – an employee, for example, can process reservations but can't change the system's configuration or access the record of online payments. In specific cases, you can also set a restriction to a specific group of reservations based on a resource (e.g. only a particular branch or service).

Logging in can be secured with two-factor authentication, or password entry can be replaced with modern passkeys – verification by fingerprint, face recognition, or the device's own screen lock.

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.

Automate communication with customers exactly to your needs – from reminders, through satisfaction surveys, to marketing offers, in the form of e-mails or SMS messages. The possibilities of custom messages are, however, far broader. Custom messages can also be used to notify an external system or device, or to inform administrators or employees.

Custom messages allow you to set up sending of messages tied to a specific event in the reservation process and a corresponding moment in time. The event can be automatic (creation of a reservation, end of an event, etc.) or tied to a manual change of a reservation's status in the administration or mobile app.

• E-mail

  The basic type of custom message, where a text e-mail message with your own content is sent.

• SMS

  A popular message type which, although limited in size and format, offers greater delivery certainty.

• Webhook

  A technical solution for notifying an external system that some event has occurred. Typically used for various automations.

• Mobile app

  A quick way to send a notification directly into a specific reenio mobile app.

• Smartemailing

  If simple text content for an e-mail isn't enough, you can use templates and sending via the Smartemailing tool.

Unlike system notifications, which have a fixed structure and content, with custom messages you decide the content and purpose yourself – typically these are used for a thank-you or a request for feedback after an event ends, a reminder before an upcoming event, a marketing offer, booking instructions, birthday or name-day wishes (even with a gift coupon), or a reminder to a customer who hasn't booked for a while.

The content of custom messages can also contain so-called placeholder variables, which are replaced with the corresponding value when the message is actually sent, e.g. the customer's name or the reservation's start time. Custom messages are assigned to events via message groups, so there's no need to set up rules for every event separately, while still keeping flexibility for different situations and needs.

A special feature of certain message types and specific events is the ability to add dynamic elements to a custom message – a satisfaction survey or a generated coupon code. It's entirely up to you how you integrate these options into your marketing activities.

Offer customers a reservation for a fixed time slot with a limited capacity – ideal wherever more than one person needs to be able to attend an event, but not more than you're able to serve.

With the Full single event type, a customer always books the whole event as set, i.e. a fixed time slot from – to, with no option to choose a custom time. This is typically an event with a higher capacity, taking place at a fixed time – suitable for sports events and lessons, seminars, lectures, concerts, exhibition openings, one-off courses, workshops, or tours.

For this type you can also enable a so-called waiting list, where a customer can still express interest in booking even after all available capacity has been used up. This event type also supports creating recurring reservations and supports online events.

Deliver important information straight to a customer's phone, even in cases where an e-mail message isn't enough for various reasons – reservation confirmation, a reminder before an event, or instructions on how to use the service.

SMS messages are available in the system both as system notifications and as custom messages with any text you like. These can then be automatic, sent in connection with some event, or sent manually directly from a specific customer's detail page, or in bulk to multiple customers at once. SMS messages are limited by their length and what can be communicated, but even so play an important role in keeping customers informed.

An interesting option is using SMS messages for further functionality. This includes verifying a customer's phone number during registration or when creating a new reservation, or as a technical communication channel – for controlling a device using a predefined SMS text, e.g. turning on the sauna heater before the start of a reservation.

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.
