Why an online reservation system?

With an online reservation system, your business is always accessible. Customers book whenever it suits them and can immediately see whether availability remains. No endless phone calls or double-checking of availability. That saves you time, frustration, and errors — time you can invest in your guests and everything that truly matters to your business. On top of that, the system automatically sends confirmations and reminders, so no-shows and lost revenue become a thing of the past.

Reservation system costs

i-Reserve starts from € 49,- per month. From Bronze to Diamond: all packageswork with fixed licence fees. You pay one clear amount per month, not per booking. This keeps your costs and planning firmly under control.

A practical example: what does a reservation system really get you?

The licence costs are clear, but how much do you actually save by using a reservation system? i-Reserve is suitable for many industries. Since wages and the number of bookings vary by sector, we use an average example here.

Assumptions:

• A colleague on minimum wage costs a net €15.91 per hour, or €20,- gross including employer contributions.
• For simplicity, we calculate with €20,- per hour — because your time as a business owner is worth even more.

Scenario:
You run a business with 10 products (for example boats, meeting rooms, or activities) that can be reserved. Without a reservation system, bookings are handled by phone or through multiple emails, and everything is noted in a diary or spreadsheet. This takes approximately 15 minutes per booking.

100 bookings per month:
100 x 0.25 hours = 25 hours
25 hours x €20,- = €500,- per month

A Silver licence with the online registrations module costs €79,- per month (excl. VAT). With 100 bookings, you therefore save €421,- per month.

20 bookings per month:
20 x 0.25 hours = 5 hours
5 hours x €20,- = €100,-
Even with a small number of bookings, you already win back both time and money.

Seasonal business? No problem.
Even if you only operate in summer or winter, the system pays for itself.
Half a year without a reservation system: 6 x €500,- = €3,000,-
Half a year with a reservation system: 6 x €79,- = €474,-
Saving: €2,526,-

In short: a small monthly fee delivers a great deal of time, clarity, and significant savings — calculated on the basis of minimum wage.

More time, less stress, and real savings

The example above already showed you how much time and money a reservation system can save. With i-Reserve, it goes even further. Customers can see for themselves when availability exists, book directly, and optionally pay in advance. No phone calls, no endless emails, no double-checking.

Colleagues can access the full schedule from anywhere — at home, in the office, or on the go via mobile or tablet. Do your times or rates change during peak season? No problem — the system updates everything automatically. Do you hire out products multiple times a day? i-Reserve keeps track and shows exactly what is available. Struggling with no-shows? A deposit taken through the system prevents lost revenue.

You can also connect i-Reserve to your accounting software, calendar, payment providers, and Office tools. Everything in one place, clear and efficient. More time, less stress, and full control over your bookings: that is the real benefit of online reservations.
