Group booking in two modes: package + headcount (e.g. 6x basic package), or named (everyone with their own package).
AI Booking's goal is to let you operate with less manual coordination, a clearer calendar, and automatic communication.

Appointment booking system for shooting ranges — group booking is the key feature
Shooting range guests typically come in groups: stag parties, corporate team-building, groups of friends. With AI Booking's group booking, one person can book a slot for the whole team — according to the available shooting lanes (capacity) — even letting everyone choose their own weapon/ammo package. The usual single-person booking is unaffected; it's an optional feature you can turn on.
What does this mean in practice?
Ideal for stag parties, corporate team-building events and groups of friends. Group booking can be enabled in the Booking settings, and you set the capacity per service.
Key Benefits
Capacity based on the number of shooting lanes/instructors — the guest only sees actually available slots (X spots free), with overbooking protection.

Industry challenges and solutions
Challenge
The group wants to come at once (stag party, company day), but it's hard to coordinate: who's coming, how many lanes are free, who pays what.
AI Booking Solution
With AI Booking's group booking, one organiser books the whole party in a single booking — according to the capacity of free shooting lanes, in package + headcount or by-name mode. Per-participant payment can be enabled, so everyone pays their own fee, and larger teams get an automatic group discount.
Challenge
High no-show rate — a cancelled stag party or company team takes a whole slot with it.
AI Booking Solution
Automatic email reminder 24 hours before the booking, plus an SMS reminder 2 hours before in the Basic and Pro plans. If you take an online deposit via Stripe, the team is also financially committed — so there are far fewer cancellations.
Challenge
Safety data and waivers — age, experience, a signed declaration from every participant, unmanageable on paper.
AI Booking Solution
Per-participant mandatory fields can be collected right at booking (age, experience, acceptance of the safety declaration). The data arrives together with the booking — no scrambling on the spot.
Challenge
Guests call while you're out on the range — and a booking slips away.
AI Booking Solution
The online booking page is available around the clock: the organiser books the time and the shooting lanes for the party on their phone in a few taps — no phone calls, straight into the calendar, with a confirmation email.

How does it fit into the industry workflow?
Group booking — two modes
In package + headcount mode, the organizer selects a package and specifies how many people it's for. In named mode, each participant is entered individually, and everyone can choose a DIFFERENT package (weapon/ammo). You decide which one — or both — to enable.
Capacity = available shooting lanes
Capacity can be set per service: it can follow the number of available staff/instructors, or be a fixed number (e.g. 8 shooting lanes). The booking interface displays the number of free spots at every time slot and protects against overbooking — two groups cannot book the same slot beyond capacity.
Payment and participant data
Per-participant payment (split-pay) can be enabled: everyone gets a separate card payment link. Mandatory fields per participant can also be requested (age, experience, acceptance of safety declaration). A group discount can also be given for larger teams above a certain size threshold.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can one person book for the entire group?
Yes. With group booking, one organizer books for multiple participants in a single reservation; in named mode, everyone can also choose their own package.
How does the system avoid overbooking?
Capacity is defined by the available shooting lanes/instructors (or a fixed number). The guest can only book as many spots as are actually free — every time slot shows the number of open spots.
Can everyone pay separately?
Yes, if you enable per-participant payment — then every member of the group pays their own fee via a separate card payment link.
What happens if a popular time slot is full?
The guest can join the waitlist and gets notified when a spot opens up.
