Unmanned tennis court software lets players book courts, pay and check in without a staff member on site. With 1club, members book online or at a kiosk, pay when they book, and identify themselves with a QR code, access card or PIN. Each booking creates an access grant, so a connected door system opens for them.
Unmanned Tennis Court Software
Members book, pay, check in and get through the door on their own, even when no one is on site.
Courts members can book and pay for on their own
Members pick a court and a time from your website, portal or app, and pay as they book.
Courts and times are set up in the tennis court booking system.
- 01
Pay before play. Set payment at booking and a booking is confirmed only once it is paid, so there is nothing to chase later.
- 02
Your rules, every time. Set the shortest and longest session, the booking step, how far ahead players can book and the minimum notice, by court type.
- 03
Guests can book too. Drop-in players book without a password. A one-time code is only needed when the email already belongs to a member.
Check-in without the front desk
A tablet at the entrance lets players check in, book a court or buy a plan without staff.
- 01
Check in on the kiosk. Players identify themselves with a QR code, access card, PIN or by searching their name, and arrival is recorded against their booking.
- 02
Book at the entrance. Players pick a court and a time slot on the kiosk, then scan a QR code to finish the booking on their phone.
- 03
Check-in rules you set. Mark bookings as no-shows when nobody checks in, or check players in automatically when the booking starts.
Entry that follows your rules
Choose how players identify themselves at the door, and connect door access so only the right people get in, with or without staff on site.
- 01
Three ways in. A QR code from the member app, a physical access card or a PIN. Turn on the ones you want, club by club.
- 02
Players enroll themselves. Members add their own access card, so staff do not hand out credentials.
- 03
Door access, connected. Each court booking creates an access grant for its slot, and door access integrations such as WebLock and Salto KS use it to open the door.
Cancellations, no-shows and closures, handled by rules
Cancellations, waitlists and closures follow the rules you set, not phone calls.
- 01
Cancellation terms you choose. Offer free cancellation, refunds by notice period, or no refund, so late changes are handled the same way every time.
- 02
Waitlists that refill courts. When a player drops out, the next person on the waitlist gets a set time to claim the slot.
- 03
Close a court in a tap. Block a court for resurfacing or repairs, or set it to maintenance, and it leaves the schedule.
