Cage bookings, americanos, and memberships in one grid.
Padel reservation software built around the cage, not the court: a grid tuned for four-player, fast-turnover play, with memberships, americanos, and point of sale sharing one member record instead of three disconnected tools.
Sound familiar?
- Cages booked through a WhatsApp group because the app doesn’t handle doubles-only scheduling well
- Americanos and round robins organized on a whiteboard, not tracked anywhere the club can report on
- Membership packages and drop-in punch cards that live in someone’s head, not a system
- No easy way to see which peak-hour cages are consistently full versus which off-peak slots are dead
One system, six modules, one ledger.
The grid, built for cages
Peak/off-peak pricing, maintenance holds, and per-cage session lengths — with a database-level constraint that makes double-booking a cage structurally impossible.
Punch cards and plans that track themselves
Drop-in packs, punch cards, and unlimited memberships live on one member record with a card on file, so balances decrement automatically instead of on trust.
Americanos and round robins with real signups
Sort sections by level, run the waitlist for real, and let it convert into a second round instead of a no-show whiteboard.
Rackets and balls on the member’s tab
Demo rackets, balls, and pro-shop stock charge to the same account as cage time — one number for the business, not a separate register.
Fill the americano without a group chat
Describe the send, get a draft in your club’s voice, segmented by level and play frequency — you approve before it ships over email or SMS.
Which cages are actually earning their rent
Every morning: utilization by cage and hour, members drifting away, and what to run next — with a dollar estimate on each move.
Questions worth asking
Does the booking grid handle doubles-only cages?+
Yes — cages, court types, and capacity are configurable per club, and the same double-booking-proof grid that runs court sports runs padel cages.
Can we run americanos and round robins through the platform?+
Yes, as a program type with level-based sections, real signups, and waitlists that convert instead of dead-ending.
Is this a padel-specific product?+
No — Courtlines is a booking and club OS built for racket sports generally. Padel gets the same grid, memberships, and AI advisor as pickleball and tennis, with vocabulary and program types configured for your club.
Can members reserve a cage themselves, or does staff have to book it for them?+
Members book their own cage time online or in the member app, against the same live grid the front desk sees — no phone call or WhatsApp message required to confirm a slot.
What stops two groups from booking the same cage at the same time?+
A database-level constraint, not just a UI check — the same one that runs court sports. Two overlapping bookings for one cage cannot both be written to the schedule, so a double-booked cage is structurally impossible rather than merely unlikely.
