Keep Your Website And Calendar. Answer First.
You do not replace your stack. Everybooking is the Instant Group Quote Platform: it reads your website, learns your packages and rules, and becomes the layer that quotes.
- 01
An inquiry comes in
Through the quote button on your website, by email, by text or on the phone. Day or night, it lands in one inbox.
- 02
It gets a real quote first
Priced from your live packages, inventory and rules. The quote button answers in 4 seconds on average. Email, text and phone replies are drafted in minutes, and you approve the ones you want to see.
- 03
The deposit lands
Your customer signs and pays the deposit online. On a group booking, each guest then books their own room and pays their own share. Payment reminders go out on a schedule.

Hours use Wilderness Edge's own rate: the agent finishes 20% of inquiries end to end, and the rest take up to 2 minutes of a person's time. The extra booking is a what-if, not a promise. Individual results vary.
30-Day Money-Back Guarantee.
If you don’t feel the difference in your first 30 days, for any reason at all, we’ll give you a full refund of everything you paid Everybooking. No forms, no friction, no questions asked.
Outside services you choose to connect (texting and calling, your own AI assistant, payment processing fees, accounting and automation tools) are billed by those companies, are not part of your setup or monthly fee, and are not refunded by us. Extra credits you bought and have already used, and a priority build fee, aren’t refunded either.

This Is Built For Businesses That:
- Send quotes with 10 or more line items: rooms, meals, rentals, staff
- Take hours, not minutes, to get a quote out the door
- Have one or two people building every quote between tours, calls and events
- Sell bookings worth $5,000 or more
- Would rather win the inquiries they already get than pay for more of them
