Tables for the final and a door queue at kick-off. Free up to 35 bookings a month, A$49 excluding GST in a busier one.

The whole town shows up. Be ready for it.
A sports bar lives on a couple of dozen nights a year. A grand final, an Origin decider, a fight card at four in the morning. Every booth by the big screen is gone a week out, a group of twelve wants to sit together, the door is queuing at kick-off, and the same room runs quiet trivia on a Tuesday.
Gaplessly lays the whole venue out as a floor plan, booths, high tables, the beer garden and the function room, with availability drawn from the tables. Match day gets its own hours and your regular week stays as it is. Walk-ins go on a door queue, and the tables everyone wants can take a deposit or a saved card.
The whole venue on one floor plan
Booths by the big screen, high tables at the bar, the beer garden and the function room, arranged as areas like the real place. What is free, held or seated comes from the floor itself, and you can hold a room back from online booking for a private function. Separate levels come from Venue Growth up.
Explore this featureBirthdays and work functions in one thread
A birthday for twenty or a work function lands as an enquiry in the same inbox as your other booking messages. Reply from the dashboard, hold the tables while you talk, then confirm with the details they already gave you. Comes from Venue Growth up.
Explore this featureA door queue for kick-off
When the room is full at first bounce, add the walk-in party with a quoted wait and see who has waited longest. Seating them creates the booking from the queue entry. Guests can join from a QR code if you switch that on, and a table-ready text works when your plan has SMS access.
Explore this featureMatch-day hours for one date
A grand final, a public holiday or a late-night fight card gets its own hours for that one date, alongside your state’s public holidays already sitting in your booking rules. Your regular week stays as it is.
Explore this featureFrom the bar. To the big screen.
The same venue tools as every Gaplessly restaurant, in the order a sports bar reaches for them before kick-off.
TABLE COMBINING
Twelve for the final? They can book it online.
A group that needs two tables can book them together, straight from your normal booking page. Comes from Venue Growth up.
DOOR WAITLIST
Full house at kick-off? Queue at the door.
Add walk-ins at the door with a quoted wait, or let them join from a QR code. Seating them creates the booking. A table-ready text works when your plan has SMS access.
DEPOSITS & CARD ON FILE
Big-game tables, protected.
Connect Stripe to take a per-person deposit above a minimum party size, or save a card for your no-show policy. Deposits are included from Venue Growth up, or available as an add-on on smaller plans. You can take bookings without them.
GUEST SELF-SERVICE
Kick-off moved? So can they.
Guests reschedule, cancel or send you a message through their confirmation link. The update lands where you work.
SERVICE PERIODS
Pre-game and the late session, kept apart.
Set separate hours and turn times for each sitting. A service that runs past midnight stays together as one sitting.

Public holiday fixtures, already dated.
Public holidays are filled in for your state, including Anzac Day, ready to set longer hours or close the date.
AUTOMATIC REMINDERS
A nudge before the first whistle.
Confirmations and reminders go out automatically by email, so the group arrives with the details to hand.
ROOM SETUP
From empty room to game night.
Add up to fifty tables at once, then arrange the walls, doors and seating around your actual room.
GIFT CARDS
A little something for their next visit.
Issue a gift card at the desk, share its code and redeem an amount on a future visit. Keep the remaining balance in view. Gift cards come with Marketing, on Venue Pro or as an add-on on Venue Growth.

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 cover fee on any plan.
No. Guests book a table, booth or bar seat in your venue, which suits the food and drink side of an entertainment venue. Lanes, courts and games stay on whatever system runs them now.
Yes. Your state’s public holidays are already listed in your booking rules, with one click to close the date or set different hours for it. Any other one-off date, a grand final or a late-night fight card, gets its own hours the same way, without changing your regular week.
Yes, from Venue Growth up, if tables you have set to push together can seat them. The booking page joins up to four tables and books them as one reservation. Above the online limit you set, the same form sends you an enquiry.
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 organiser 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.
