Bowling alley booking software that keeps lanes rolling

Families and groups book a lane, add bowlers and shoes, and pay in a few taps. Your team sees the whole house from a phone, and your lanes stay busy from opening to close.

What holds bowling back

  • Parties tie up the phone

    Birthdays and team nights mean calls, callbacks and payments chased by email.

  • Quiet lanes midweek

    Friday is packed while Tuesday afternoon has lanes nobody is using.

  • Prices guests can't see

    When the cost only shows up at the counter, some groups never book at all.

How HiO helps

What changes with HiO

  1. 01

    Parties booked while you sleep

    Lanes, shoes and food packages in one checkout, paid up front.

  2. 02

    Midweek lanes that earn

    Smart pricing turns quiet lanes into deals bowlers snap up from your booking page.

  3. 03

    Prices guests understand

    Pick the number of bowlers and the price follows before anyone pays.

Checkout on a phone: the bay and time, the price with tax, and a Pay button.

Smart pricing

Fill your quiet hours automatically.

Quiet weekday lanes turn into family bookings, with deals shown first and every group placed so the house stays full.

  • Hot times

    Your quietest hours, spotted and priced to sell on their own.

  • Hot deals

    The first thing customers see: great times at a better price.

  • Gap fill

    Short gaps sell too, and players extend into them in one tap.

  • Best-fit bays

    Every booking lands where it leaves the fewest awkward gaps.

A day's calendar: quiet afternoon times light up as hot deals and appear in a Hot deals list, a customer taps an offer to extend into the gap after their booking, and a new booking lands on the bay where it fits best.

FAQ

Questions we hear

Can guests book a party with food online?

Yes. Party packages and food are add-ons at checkout.

How do leagues fit in?

Block the lanes for league night every week, so walk-ins only see lanes that are really free.

Can we charge per bowler?

Yes. Charge per hour or per bowler, with different rates for weekends and weeknights.

Can staff take a booking at the counter?

Yes, from a phone or tablet at the desk, by card, cash or payment link.

Can HiO help fill quiet hours?

Yes. HiO finds the lanes and hours that usually sit quiet and offers them as hot times at a better price, right at the top of your booking page in Hot deals. Short gaps between games are offered at a discount, bowlers can extend into one with a single tap before their time is up, and every group is placed on the lane that leaves the fewest awkward gaps.
