Priced and booked

The party has a price before the animals load

Your regular backyard parties carry a set price on your booking page, so a birthday books a real gap while the pens are still being cleaned. The big school fete comes through as a request instead, so you can size the animals and the setup first.

Scheduled and dispatched

A day the trailer can genuinely tow

Every booked party lands on your routed day, inside a service area sized for towing safely. On Free you drag the job into the gap yourself, and on Pro the day rebuilds itself and hands it to whichever handler is closest and free.

A day with 3 stops drawn on a map and listed in driving order, with the travel time between each, ordered to cut backtracking between jobs.

On the day

Work the run, from first pen to last

The day laid out in driving order, so you clear the Warrandyte, Eltham and Research bookings in the sequence that wastes the least time between yards. Mark each one accepted, on site and completed on the way, and the reminder sends itself.

Get paid

Fete quote to booked visit, signed online

Itemise the animals, the ponies and the handler, write the flat ground and shade into the same quote, and the moment the committee signs it becomes a booked visit. Take a deposit through Stripe before the trailer is hitched, or send a payment request for the balance after the sign-off.

Less admin, more bookings

Made for petting zoo & animal parties businesses

Draw the line a horse float can live with

A radius that suits a face painter breaks an operation towing ponies. Define your service area by a drawn map, a radius or postcodes that reflect what the animals and the vehicle can comfortably do, and the booking page turns away addresses beyond it automatically. Nobody has to be told no after they have already imagined the alpacas in their yard.

Agree the yard before you agree the date

Flat ground for pens, shade in summer, a gate wide enough for the trailer and a tap within reach are not details to discover on arrival. Write them into the quote so the client signs off on the space along with the price, and the online signature converts into a booking that already contains the ground rules.

A deposit before the trailer is hitched

Loading animals for a cancelled party is the most expensive nothing in this business. A percentage or fixed deposit collected through Stripe at booking means every trip out of the driveway is underwritten, and payment requests by email suit the schools and committees that pay after a sign-off. Card payments run on Pro at a flat 3%.

Fete season without the whiteboard

Spring stacks school fetes onto birthday weekends until a whiteboard gives up. The calendar holds every booking, date overrides block the agricultural show week you attend every year, and when a fete shifts your arrival time you drag the booking to its new slot on the day timeline and the rest of the day is still true.

Common questions.

Yes. Your branded page shows dates you can genuinely cover inside your service area, and takes the deposit at booking. Fetes and schools with all-day setups can send a request with preferred times instead.

Put your space, shade, water and access requirements in the quote the client signs online. Their signature accepts those conditions alongside the price, before the date is locked in.

Those stay with you, as they should. You hold your own public liability insurance and handle any council requirements for events, and Bookables looks after the booking side, dates, quotes, deposits and reminders.

Take a percentage or fixed deposit through Stripe at booking, or the full amount, and send payment requests by email for balances. Card payments are part of the Pro plan at a flat 3%.

Yes. Free with up to 200 bookings a month and no per-booking fees, which suits a weekend operation. Pro adds card payments at a flat 3% when deposits should happen online.
