Booking softwarefor 5-a-side football

The real problem of running a 5-a-side venue manually

If you run one or more 5-a-side fields, you know this: WhatsApp explodes Friday at 7pm with messages asking for a slot, you spend time confirming each one, on Saturdays some groups no-show and the field stays empty, and at month-end you don't really know what you billed.

• No-shows leaving the field empty Saturday night.
• Double bookings from human error when two people message at the same time.
• Time lost on WhatsApp confirming slots one by one.
• Zero data on which field is busiest or who your loyal customers are.

How ChatIAR solves it

ChatIAR is an online booking system built for sports venues. Each location gets its own public booking link where customers book without login, picking field, time, duration and payment method.

• Your public booking link (e.g. app.chatiar.io/reservas/your-venue) you share on Instagram, WhatsApp and Google.
• Customer picks field + time + duration (half-hour increments) and locks in the booking.
• You request a deposit by sending the payment link — booking stays pending until you confirm receipt.
• Automatic WhatsApp reminders 24h and 4h before with field, time, address and map.
• Automatic post-match thank-you message to build loyalty.
• Real-time locking: if two customers try to book the same slot, only the first confirms.
• Configurable cross-blocking (big field that occupies two small ones, etc.).

Features that save you time every day

• Weekly recurring bookings: configure "Tuesday 9pm — group X" and the system repeats them automatically until the validity date.
• Waitlist: if a slot fills, the next customer joins the queue and you notify them when it opens.
• Customer credit on cancellations or changes — the system records it and applies it to next booking.
• Per-venue dashboard with real metrics: revenue, occupancy, recurring customers, no-show ratio.
• Multi-venue under one account: navigate between locations without switching logins. Each venue pays for its plan.

If you also have a bar/canteen

The Bookings + Bar plan adds the full canteen module:

• In-booking pre-orders: customer picks combos you pre-built and pays them or leaves them pending for pickup.
• Unique QR per table for self-ordering — customers scan, see catalog with photos, order and call waiter.
• Automatic stock that decrements on every charge, with full movement audit trail.
• AFIP electronic billing per venue (Factura A, B, C) if you need fiscal receipts.
• Table accounts with partial or full charging and bar expense tracking.
