LIVE FLOOR PLAN
Booths, bar and dance floor, at a glance.
Booths, high tables and bar seats on the same floor plan as your standard tables, in areas for the courtyard or the back room. What is free, held or seated is drawn from the floor itself.
Nightclub booking software: Fully booked. Zero commission.
Booths, big groups and a door queue. Free up to 35 bookings a month, A$49 excluding GST in a busier one.
No commission. No fee per guest.
Gaplessly is nightclub booking software for clubs, cocktail bars and late-night venues in Australia. Guests book a booth or table on your own booking page, and your door staff run the walk-in queue from the same dashboard. Venue Starter is free up to 35 bookings a month, then A$49 excluding GST in a busier month. There is no commission and no fee per guest on any plan, and you can cancel any time.

Booths at ten. A queue by eleven.
A bar fills late, and half the night never booked at all. The other half wants a booth for twelve and somewhere to put a birthday cake, and the table you promised at the door still has to be found mid-service.
Gaplessly starts from the floor plan: booths, high tables, bar seats and areas laid out like the real room, with availability drawn from the tables themselves. A service that opens at 9pm and closes at 3am stays one night. Walk-ins go on a door queue with their wait on show, and a group too big to book online sends you an enquiry you can answer from the dashboard.
Booth bookings and bar seats
Booth, bar and high-table shapes sit on the same floor plan as your standard tables, in areas for the courtyard or the back room. What is free, held or seated comes from the floor itself, and you can hold a room back from online booking for the night. Separate levels come from Venue Growth up.

Above your online party limit, the booking form sends you an enquiry that lands in the same inbox as your other booking messages. Reply from the dashboard, hold the booths while you talk, then confirm without retyping a detail. Comes from Venue Growth up.
Explore this featureA door queue that shows the wait
Add a walk-in party with a quoted wait and send them to the bar. The time turns red once they have waited longer than you said, and seating them creates the booking. Switch on the online line and guests can join from a QR code. A table-ready text works when your plan has SMS access.

FAQ
Questions worth asking first.
Venue Starter is free up to 35 bookings a month, then A$49 excluding GST in a busier month. Plans are flat, with higher booking allowances on Venue Growth and Venue Pro, and there is no commission and no fee per guest on any plan.
One. Give a service a closing time earlier than its opening time and it runs into the next morning, belonging to the night it opened. A booking for 11.30pm and one for 1am sit in the same service rather than on two dates.
Yes. Add the party with a phone number and a quoted wait, and seating them creates the reservation from the queue entry, so nothing is retyped. Guests can also join from a QR code if you switch that on. A table-ready text works when your plan has SMS access.
You set an online limit, anywhere up to 30 guests. Above it, the booking form sends you an enquiry. You hold the tables, reply and confirm the booking from that thread, without asking the group to repeat their details. Online limits and enquiries come from Venue Growth up.
Yes, through your own Stripe account: a fixed deposit, optionally per person above a minimum party size, or a saved card behind your no-show policy. This comes from Venue Growth up, or as an add-on on Venue Starter, and your booking page works without either.
Yes, from Venue Growth up. When no single free table seats the group, the booking page joins up to four tables you have set to push together and books them as one reservation.
They can do either, from the private link in their confirmation email, up to the cutoff you set. They can also send you a message from that link, which lands in your inbox attached to the booking.
