How Does This Happen?

Automated Billing = Zero Unpaid Hours

Automated Billing

Renters pay for the time they book. You never have to ask twice.

1
Payment Method on File
Renters add a card once, before they ever set foot in your kitchen.
💳 Credit Card 🏦 ACH
2
Calendar Access
Renters see open slots and book themselves. No back-and-forth needed.
3
Auto Payment
Every hour booked = every hour paid. Automatically.

The Result

No more chasing. No more unbilled hours. Upfront monthly billing plans lock in guaranteed income before the month even starts.

Reward Your Best Renters and Your Bottom Line

Create tiered pricing for your renters, to encourage higher utilization. The more renters book, the better their rate becomes.

Tiered Pricing

The Result

Self-Serve Scheduling Fills More Hours
