Everything the video says.
0:00Who this is for
If you run a bowling alley, a trampoline park, an escape room, laser tag or axe throwing, this is for you.
I'll show you how to book more parties, groups and sessions from the calls and web requests you already get.
Without hiring another person for the front desk, without buying more leads, and without learning a complicated new system. You just talk to it.
You'll simply be the first one to answer every request with a real price, day or night, and the one who follows through until the party is paid.
0:27Why I built it
How do I know this works?
My name is Kevin Penner. I've run service businesses all my life. Powerland Computers. Wilderness Edge. And a few that flopped, which taught me more than the ones that worked.
And for years, we lost bookings the same way you do. Requests sat over the weekend. By the time we called back, they'd already booked whoever answered first.
We were paying for ads, then losing those leads to slow callbacks. Not to better places. To faster ones.
0:55Where the work is really lost
Everybody tells you speed wins. Answer first and you get the booking. That's true, but it's only the first five minutes.
Think about where you really lose bookings. The party request that sits until Monday. The question about food nobody answered. The company night out that went cold. The family who came for one birthday and went somewhere else the next year.
The first reply gets you in the door. The venue that handles everything after it wins the booking. And the one that keeps showing up gets every birthday after that.
Everyone has access to the same AI. The difference is what it's connected to.
A chatbot knows your website and your rules.
Ours knows that too, plus your lanes and rooms, your session times, your invoices, and every call, text and email, in real time, twenty-four seven.
A chatbot guesses. Everybooking knows.
Let me show you three things that make that possible.
1:461. A funnel that sells and sorts
Number one. A chatbot says hi, asks what they need, asks how many are coming, then asks if they'd like a call back.
That parent still hasn't seen a single price. That's not selling. That's a receptionist with a script.
Everybooking's funnel sells what makes your place different, and sorts the leads right away. One tap: just us, a birthday party, a work team, or the whole place. Each one sees the right options and price.
And you choose how price shows up. The full price for open sessions and walk-ins. Some prices, with the rest held back for buyouts. Or let them build the whole party and see the total when they book.
Then you pick the next step. Most bookings just book and pay on the spot. Big groups can book a walk-round or a phone call. Nobody waits on a callback to hand you money.
Don't take my word for it. Below this video is a real instant quote funnel, built for a business like yours. Try it the way your customer would, and see how fast you get a price.
2:402. Priced in seconds
Number two. Right now some of you are thinking, that's fine for a simple business. Mine's different.
You've got peak and off-peak prices. Per player, per game or per lane hour. Party food by the head. Group minimums. Buyouts that close everything. And a Saturday that's full by ten in the morning.
Most owners believe only they can price that, on the phone, with the booking sheet open. So the party quote takes a day or two, and the parent books somewhere else.
Everybooking prices it in seconds, and gets it right, because it works off the same rate card, sessions, capacity and rules you do.
You sell four kinds of things, and it tracks all four. Rental kit by quantity. Sessions by the time slot, up to capacity. Whole days for buyouts. And your rules, the same on every quote.
It never sells a lane that's taken or a session that's already full, and it never loses a party because nobody checked the calendar.
And it doesn't stop at the first quote. They ask about the three-mission pack, it sends a second option. They say yes at eleven at night, and the deposit is in your account at five past.
So no, your venue isn't too complicated for this. Your venue is exactly what this was built for.
3:473. Your office, done by talking
Number three. The work after the lights go off: party invoices, moved bookings, school group quotes, the numbers your bookkeeper wants.
Now you just talk to it like you'd talk to your office manager, and it does the work. Move the Patel party to four o'clock and text the mom. Send Riverside School their invoice for forty-eight kids. Give me last month's bookings by activity.
Not advice. The actual work. Like an office manager who knows every booking, every price and every guest, and never goes home.
It even answers your phone when you can't. It takes the message and puts it on your dashboard as a new booking.
Turn on auto-reply, and it gets back to them with a price they can book and pay. You choose which bookings it handles on its own, like anything under one thousand dollars.
And you stay in charge. Turn on approval to see every quote first. The tricky ones, like a whole-venue buyout or an unhappy parent, come straight to you.
When it needs an answer only your team has, it asks the right person. Your duty manager replies from her phone between parties, and the customer gets a proper answer.
When the party's over, it keeps showing up. A thank-you. A follow-up on the group quote they didn't book. A reminder before next year's birthday. One party becomes a family that comes back every year.
5:04One job, start to finish
Let me show you one booking, start to finish, in a demo arena set up like yours. Ten fifteen on a Sunday night, a mom realizes her son's party is in two weeks and nothing is booked.
She taps birthday party, picks twelve kids at two o'clock on a Saturday, adds food and drinks, and hits get my price.
Six seconds later, she has a real price for every kid, and the two o'clock arena slot is held for her.
She asks if she can bring her own cake. Everybooking asks Jess, Jess says yes, there's a fridge in the party room, and the answer is back in a minute.
At ten forty, she books and pays the deposit. Twenty-five minutes from first tap to a booked, paid party on your calendar. You were home with your feet up.
The day before, she gets a reminder with the start time and what to bring. On the day, three more kids turn up. Jess adds three players from her phone, and the mom approves the change right there.
The final invoice goes out with the deposit taken off, and she pays before the cake is cut. Form to paid, and nobody at your front desk touched it.
6:04Where it came from
Now, where did all this come from? I own Wilderness Edge, a retreat and conference center. Not a fun park, but every bit as messy to quote.
I used to be on call from early morning until late at night, so I could be the first one to answer every inquiry with a real quote. Today, I have my mornings and evenings back. The first answer goes out without me. Our instant quote funnels and our AI answer nearly every first inquiry, twenty-four seven.
But that was only the first hard part. Once a lead is warm, they have questions. Changes. Details my staff have to check. That used to take me anywhere from twenty minutes to three hours, building spreadsheets, updating the quote, and chasing my team for answers.
Now the twenty-minute ones take one to two minutes. The three-hour ones are done in under ten.
Because I just talk to it. It knows every detail of every deal, and it has over a thousand different tools inside the system to get every detail of every booking right.
I built Everybooking to fix my own problem first. My venue or yours, the problem is the same. The first real price wins the booking, and the fastest follow-through keeps it.
7:08Your math
Now let's do your math, not mine. For example, say your average party or group booking is four hundred and eighty dollars.
If Everybooking turns just two more requests a week into bookings, in this example that's over four thousand dollars a month, before the birthdays that come back.
Compare that to hiring someone to answer every call and form: about fifty thousand dollars a year with wages and benefits, and they still go home before the late session.
There are really two ways to grow a recreation business. Buy more leads that still sit until Monday. Or win more of the leads you already get, by being the first to answer with a real price.
7:41How we work with you
Here's how it works. We build it with you, in two stages.
Your instant quote funnel is answering requests within days. Within thirty days, your foundation is running. Then we connect the rest of your venue, every piece agreed in writing. Outside services you choose, like texting, calling or your AI assistant, are billed separately.
And try it completely risk-free.
If you don't feel the difference in your first thirty 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.
