Run one court like a business, without hiring a front desk.
One or two courts, a phone that never stops, and a spreadsheet that is always slightly wrong. Lobby gives a small club the same booking, payment, and reminder flow a large one has, for a flat fee that fits.

Illustrative schedule for a two-court club: bookings, holds, and a coach block on one timeline.
A week with Lobby
What changes, hour by hour.
07:30
First booking of the day
A regular books the 08:00 slot from her phone and pays by card. No message, no call, no reply needed.
12:10
A cancellation
A player cancels inside the window. The slot reopens and the next person on the waitlist gets a notification.
18:00
Peak hour
Every evening slot shows as taken or open in one place. Walk-ins are added by staff in two taps.
Sun
The week in numbers
Occupancy, revenue, and no-shows for the week arrive in one report. Payouts from Stripe match the bookings.

The objections
Fair questions, straight answers.
Is this too much software for one court?
The setup is a court, opening hours, and a price. Lobby pre-fills the rest and you accept the defaults in one click. Most single-court clubs are taking bookings the same day.
What does it cost with only one court?
A flat monthly fee for software and nothing per booking. Stripe charges its card processing fee on each payment, which you would pay with any provider.
Our regulars book by message. Will they switch?
Most do once the link is in the group chat, because paying and cancelling by phone is quicker than waiting for a reply. Staff can still add bookings by hand for anyone who does not.
By sport
Each sport keeps its own rules.
