Nobody wants a particular board, so there is nothing to track individually. What you need is a number that is right, by type, at the hour somebody is asking.

  • Counted, by type

    Singles, doubles and kayaks are counted separately, because a group of four is rarely four of the same thing and one total hides that.

  • Four booked is four gone

    The page drops by four the moment a group books, so the rack on screen empties at the same rate as the rack on the beach.

  • Close the hour, not the day

    When it blows through lunchtime, take that hour off and leave the rest of the afternoon bookable rather than shutting the whole day.

Built for your hut

Built for every kind of paddle hire

An Auckland harbour kayak

Hold the selected hull through paddle preparation, water time and rinse.

The Taupō paddleboard weekend

Keep the board unavailable across every booked day and return check.

Two friends choose different craft

Create separate bookings beneath one organiser, keeping each board, paddle and return time independent.

Inspection before the next hirer

The Taupō paddleboard weekend: hold the kayak or paddleboard after hand-back for cleaning and inspection before the next handover.

The first street address

An Auckland harbour kayak: public booking captures one street address; staff add later delivery or return details to notes.

The same weekday hire

Two friends choose different craft: repeat this job on one chosen weekday weekly or fortnightly, ending with the arrangement.

Single kayak or stand-up paddleboard

The Taupō paddleboard weekend: keep both alternatives on the quote, letting the organiser approve the suitable service lines online.

Bank transfer reaches the office

An Auckland harbour kayak: record the offline receipt and leave the remaining amount visible without creating a card transaction.

A return needs staff attention

Two friends choose different craft: keep the return note on the booking and extend unavailable time when inspection prevents the next turnaround.

A cancellation returns one kayak or paddleboard

The Taupō paddleboard weekend: if the booking cancels, release only that unit’s interval; neighbouring hires remain where they were.

Booked from the beach.

A phone, an hour and a card. Nothing about hiring four boards for the afternoon should take longer than carrying them to the water.

One hire from preparation to return.

The complete kayak or paddleboard hire occupies the selected kayak or paddleboard through the rinse and hull check, with first address and contact ready.

Pro

Agreement and receipts on one hire.

An Auckland harbour kayak: the accepted quote and manually recorded bank transfer keep one amount visible while settlement remains offline.

  • Approve the quote first

    An Auckland harbour kayak: keep the accepted option, span and service lines attached when the approved document becomes a booking.

  • Offline receipts reduce the balance

    The Taupō paddleboard weekend: apply bank transfer or cash to the booking and leave staff a clear amount still to collect.

  • Emails are switched on deliberately

    Two friends choose different craft: the operator chooses whether to enable a confirmation or reminder after details are settled.

A list of payments, each with the customer, reference, date, method and amount, with totals received and still outstanding.

One app for every booking

Everything you need to run your paddle hire business.

Online booking

Put single kayak or stand-up paddleboard on the public page with genuine availability; each hirer starts the request from one street address.

Scheduling

Hold the selected kayak or paddleboard from paddle and hull preparation until the rinse and hull check; conflicting time stays off the live diary.

Standing bookings

Set regular kayak or paddleboard hire on its single weekday, choose weekly or fortnightly, and end the series when the regular arrangement finishes.

Counted, not double sold

Four boards booked leaves four fewer on the page immediately, so a group arriving at two is never handed a rack that is already empty.

Estimates

Put single kayak, stand-up paddleboard and any delivery line on the quote; accepted work can become a booking without retyping it.

Email reminders

The operator can enable an email before the single kayak booking, carrying the booked time and selected item; reminders do not begin by default.

Customers

The customer record joins hirers, venues and local organisations to earlier bookings, internal notes and manually recorded payments.

Team

Match a late kayak or paddleboard return to a staff member whose hours cover preparation, handover and the expected return.

Payments

Post bank transfer manually against the correct hire, keeping the remainder clear for staff without presenting an online card payment.
