In 1996, I started organizing outdoor activities in the Veluwe. It was a great start: being outdoors, giving people a fun day, coming up with new ideas—exactly why I wanted to become an entrepreneur. At first, I just handled the paperwork on the side. My father would always say, “Son, paperwork is just part of the job.” But honestly? I didn’t like it at all. Luckily, my sister took over a lot of those tasks: sending invoices, making schedules, drafting confirmations, and keeping everything neatly organized in Excel.
These days I have LeisureKing for that. Online reservations are processed and paid automatically, invoices are sent, and when an iDEAL payment is made, everything jumps to green immediately. No more hassle with bank statements or reminders. Emails also happen automatically: from confirmations and parking info to discount codes for your next visit and review requests. That saves time and contact moments.
The numbers are now clear at a glance. I can immediately see which activities are popular, what my turnover is and how much capacity I still have. Thanks to the link with our accounting program, everything is also processed neatly. This now saves us two full-timers per year.
On location works just as easily. In our climbing forests guests check themselves in, receive a tape with a time slot and agree to the terms and conditions. In the rental store, an employee sees what he needs to set up at the push of a button. In the past you had to wait and see if it would get busy, now you know for sure and can make adjustments in time.
Whether you want to cut costs or increase your profits, LeisureKing can help you do both.
LeisureKing makes running a business fun again.And after 29 years, I can wholeheartedly confirm that. When can we help you?
