bookahit

For councils and multi-venue operators

One booking system across all your venues

Tennis courts on council land mean keys and light tokens to hand out, and after-hours calls about lights left on. bookahit gives every booking its own gate code, switches the lights for it, takes the hire fee by card into your account and records every opening. One system, one point of contact, every venue.

The package for councils and multi-venue operators

The same bookahit as every club has, with four things that come from running several venues.
  • Less per court across venues

    10% off every venue's court fee for 2 to 4 venues, and 15% from 5. It's applied to every venue in your organisation, with nothing to apply for.

  • Connecting the second venue onwards

    Connecting your first venue's security system is $6,300 + GST, spread over 36 months with care. From your second venue on, the connection fee is quoted lower: the set-up, the team and the travel are shared.

  • One agreement, one contact

    One set of terms for all your venues and one person to call. Each venue keeps its own booking page, its own admins and its own invoice, so every site's costs are clear in your accounts.

  • Your team, every venue

    The same club account on every venue's team: the day at a glance, gate codes, lights, closures and the activity log for each site, from one sign-in.

Prices for your procurement file

Every price without GST and with it. No fees per booking or per player, no minimum number of courts, and no court fee for a venue's first 30 days live.
LineWithout GSTWith GSTWhen
Court fee, bookings only, per court$19$20.90A month
Court fee with the security system connected, per court$49$53.90A month
Connection and care (the $6,300 connection fee spread over36 months, plus care)$258$283.80A month for 36 months
Care alone, after that$83$91.30A month
The security system itself (controller, keypads, locks, relays, cameras)Quoted after a site inspectionOnce

For example, one venue of 4 courts with its security system connected costs $16,148 + GST ($17,762.80) over three years: 35 months of court fees after the first 30 days free, and 36months of connection and care, before the security system itself. From 5 venues, with 15% off the court fee, it's $15,119 + GST a venue, before the lower connection quote for your second venue onwards. For scale: in New South Wales, section 55 of the Local Government Act 1993 requires a tender only from $250,000 including GST over the life of the contract; below that, your own procurement policy applies. Victorian councils set their own thresholds in their procurement policies.

Questions councils ask

Do we have to replace our gates and keypads?
No. bookahit works with a range of security systems. Our integrators inspect what's at each venue and quote for what's needed, from connecting what you have to replacing padlocks with keypads and locks.
Can residents book without an app?
Yes. They book on the venue's page, pay by card, and get their gate code in the confirmation email and in My bookings. The app is there for those who want it.
Can one venue start with bookings only?
Yes. A venue can start at $19 + GST per court a month for bookings, and move to $49 + GST with connection and care when its security system is connected.
What about grant funding?
Councils apply for state sports infrastructure and lighting funds in their own name. We supply the quote and the specifications your application needs.
Who owns the hardware and the data?
You do. The security system is yours, under the warranty in your quote. You can download your venues' members and bookings from Club admin at any time as spreadsheet (CSV) files.
