Pros

“It is the one that consistently comes out on top, but it seems it's moving more and more to %fee option which is what we were avoiding with competitors. ”

Krista P.

CFO

“Once it's working it is a pretty stable product, and works well on the user side. Once it's set it's mostly set it and forget it.”

Krista P.

CFO

“Some limited capabilities with reports.”

Kenna K.

Guest Relations and Digital Media Systems Lead

Pros

“This software is an absolute game changer for bike rentals giving you control over your numbers booked as you go, it keeps data on the cloud so it is current which means I can access from anywhere and get my answers. ”

Lisa L.

Booking Assist

“We launched our new bike rental service during high season and we experienced ZERO issues, delays or frustrations right out of the gate.”

William P.

Founder

“I want to thank [sensitive content hidden] and everyone on your team that help us during the setup and issues on the way. ”

Carlos R.

Cons

“I can't risk the key element of my booking system failing so had to pull the plug on Checkfront and return to my previous provider.”

Mark H.

Director

“Customer support wasn't great (aside from having to wait til the end of the day (GMT) before they we're available) with workarounds for bugs being the order of the day.”

Mark H.

Director

“For instance, if you used Square instead of Stripe, customer were not able to book directly from the Google search results page.”

Derek J.

Owner

Cons

“Feature sets didn't match up extremely well with our business initiatives.”

Nic F.

“I wish there were more flexibility for complicated reservations, like if a person switches bikes partway through a rental I actually have to create two separate reservations for each set of dates, and that gets tricky if the person is part of a family with other bikes in the reservation.”

Caitlin K.

Reservations Manager

“Reservations view isnt really compatible with a laptop screen.”

Oliver E.

Director
