Online Bookings

Every lodge and outfitter is different, and that makes online booking a challenge in this corner of the hospitality industry. Fortunately, LodgeRunner offers 13 different online booking systems that fit different circumstances. There are five systems for booking guided fishing trips, two for booking scheduled events like schools and clinics, five for booking rooms, and one for booking packages that include lodging and guiding. No special setup is required other than integrating LodgeRunner with a credit card processor.

Online Bookings for Rooms and Cabins

Do you have a complex pricing structure? Different rates for different seasons? Or different rates for different guest age ranges? Maybe you have separate rates for housekeeping vs American Plan or a two-night minimum or a single-occupancy upcharge. LodgeRunner can handle all of these scenarios and more! Check out these examples:

Online Bookings for Scheduled Events

In LodgeRunner, "scheduled events" are offerings like schools or clinics that have set dates. They are also used for lodges that have the same turnover dates each week so you can count how many spaces are left each week. LodgeRunner offers two different interfaces for taking online bookings for these types of trips. Notice the example also uses a Google Calendar integration to display the trips on a calendar which then links to the Online Booking System.

Online Bookings for Guided Trips

Guided fishing day trips are a lot easier to book online. LodgeRunner easily manages your guide schedules and can display guides that are available on different destinations on any given day. You can start by showing all the destinations and then selecting a guide, or do it the other way around. You can have a link from a destination feature page on your website to book trips for that destination, or add a link to each guide's bio to book a trip with that guide. LodgeRunner does not aggregate online booking and display your trips alongside anyone elses trips. You can set up your online booking system as an external link or as a "plug-in" that fits inside a page on your site.

Online Bookings for Packages

Packages that combine lodging and guided trips are the most challenging online booking scenario. Rooms or guides are easy on their own, but it's hard to find a system that keeps inventory and prevents double-bookings on both. In the example below, guests can book lodge stays or drive-ins. When selecting a lodge stay, guests select their rooms and then their guides for each day of the trip before checking out.

Not Ready for Online Booking?

A good first step toward accepting online bookings is to display some availability information on your website. LodgeRunner offers numerous "plug-ins" for displaying room, guide, or scheduled group availability. These time-saving features help steer potential guests in the right direction and help you convert on leads.
