Commission free booking software Ireland

Commission free booking software for Irish leisure venues.

Commission free booking software in Ireland, built around how your venue actually trades. Custom software that integrates directly with your website and gives you control over bookings, payments, availability, customer information and daily administration, with 0% booking commission charged by MBM.

The problem with commission-based platforms

Commission is a cost that grows as you succeed.

The busier your venue becomes, the more a percentage-based platform takes. For many leisure businesses this is thousands of euro each year leaving the business for a system they do not own.

  • Commission charged on every online booking
  • Rigid systems that do not reflect how your venue actually trades
  • Limited control over customer data
  • Poor customer experience on mobile devices
  • Manual administration that eats into staff time
  • Difficulty managing more than one location
  • Usually a clunky, slow or poor user experience

Across Ireland

Commission free booking software for venues across Ireland.

We work with soft play centres, adventure parks, trampoline parks, pet farms, kids camps and family entertainment venues in Dublin, Cork, Galway, Limerick, Kildare and across the rest of Ireland. Whether you take a few hundred party bookings a year or several thousand online sessions, commission free booking software means the growth you work for stays in your business rather than being taken as a percentage of every booking.

Every system is configured to your venue: session capacities, party packages, arrival and changeover times, deposits, gift vouchers, memberships and multi-location availability. Your customer data stays yours, and your team gets the reporting and day-to-day controls they actually need.

Commission free refers to booking commission charged by MBM Ireland. Standard payment-processing charges from the selected payment provider may still apply.

The market

Online booking is now the default, and commission scales with it.

Irish families increasingly book leisure activities and events online. The difference is what each booking costs you once a percentage-based platform takes its share.
