Request a Quote8 Things a Custom Booking System Solves
Real-time Booking Calendar
Customers see live availability for rooms, seats, or time slots and book directly — no phone calls, no double bookings.
Deposit & Full Payment
Collect deposits or full payment at booking time via card, bank transfer, or Toss Payments. Refund rules run automatically by your cancellation policy.
No-show Prevention
Deposits, automatic reminders before the visit, and cancellation deadlines cut no-shows without you chasing customers.
Zero Platform Commission
Bookings through your own site are commission-free. Keep platform channels for discovery and move repeat customers to direct booking.
Owner Admin Dashboard
One screen for today's bookings, calendar management, blocking dates, pricing by season, and customer history.
KakaoTalk / SMS Notifications
Automatic booking confirmations, reminders, and cancellation notices via KakaoTalk AlimTalk or SMS.
Members, Coupons & Reviews
Repeat-customer accounts, coupon and point systems, and review collection to grow direct bookings.
Revenue & Occupancy Stats
Daily/monthly revenue, occupancy rates, channel comparison, and no-show statistics — aggregated automatically.
What's Possible & What's Not
Transparency first — here is what is technically feasible and where we design alternatives.
| Scenario | Status | Details |
|---|---|---|
| Real-time availability & double-booking prevention | Possible | Fully supported — transactional inventory locking |
| Deposit / full / on-site payment mix | Possible | Card, transfer, Toss Payments; refund rules automated |
| KakaoTalk AlimTalk & SMS notifications | Possible | Official channels via registered templates |
| Customer app (iOS / Android) | Possible | Possible — web-first launch then app is the usual path |
| Owner app for managing bookings on the phone | Possible | Possible — often the highest-ROI second phase |
| Sync with OTA platforms (channel manager) | Limited | Depends on each platform's official API availability |
| Door lock / kiosk / self check-in hardware | Limited | Possible when the device exposes an API — reviewed per model |
| Migrating existing platform reviews to your site | Not possible | Platform reviews cannot be transferred; we design fresh review collection |
6 Factors That Affect Your Quote
What Gets Booked
A single room type, multiple rooms with different pricing, seats, equipment, or time slots — inventory complexity drives the calendar and data model.
Payment Flow
Deposit vs full payment, cancellation/refund policy automation, and on-site balance handling each add payment and settlement logic.
Notification Channels
KakaoTalk AlimTalk template registration, SMS fallback, and email — each channel adds setup and delivery-tracking work.
Web Only vs App
A responsive web booking page ships fastest. Native customer or owner apps add store submission, push notifications, and update cycles.
External Integrations
OTA channel sync, door locks, kiosks, PMS, or accounting exports — each integration is scoped by whether an official API exists.
Admin Feature Depth
From a simple booking list to seasonal pricing, staff accounts, statistics dashboards, and coupon management — admin scope scales the build.
Security & Operations
A booking system holds revenue-critical data. We operate it like one.
Booking Data Backup
Reservation and payment data live on a managed database with automatic backups enabled by default. Backup and recovery terms are written into the contract.
Server Operation Included (Optional)
No developer on your team? Choose the Freesi server option and we handle deployment, monitoring, and incident response — billed monthly at cost or as an annual prepay.
NDA & Least-Privilege Access
A legally binding NDA before kickoff, and we request only the minimum permissions needed to build and operate.
Full Ownership Transfer
Source code, cloud and domain accounts, and app store accounts are opened in your name. Switching vendors later requires no handover of ownership.
Personal Data Compliance
Customer names and contacts are handled under Korean PIPA with encryption and access controls designed in from the start.
