With Crew Dibs
A group emails a form, then waits for you to reply.
They pick a free time on your calendar and it's booked in two minutes.
You chase a deposit, then chase it again.
The deposit is paid before the booking reaches you.
One person fronts the money and chases 14 mates.
Everyone pays their own share by link. Not your problem, not theirs.
Tuesday to Thursday sit empty.
Your quiet times show first when groups search.

How it works.

1
Tell us how you run

A 10-minute call: your rinks, tables or boats, opening hours, prices, deposit, and your weather and BYO rules. We set it up for you.

2
We list you and shoot your place

Your page goes live with your real prices and free times. During launch our photographer comes for an hour, free, and you keep the photos.

3
Groups book, you get paid

Bookings arrive already paid. Each week you get a payout and a list of who's coming, how many, and when.

Your listing

This is how you show up.

Your photo, your price, what's included and your free times, right where groups are deciding. They book and pay on the spot, and the booking lands with you already paid.

  • ✓Your real prices, per person or per rink/boat
  • ✓Live free times, so no back-and-forth emails
  • ✓Your weather, BYO and change rules, word for word

Questions venues ask.

Do I have to change how I take bookings now?+

No. Keep your phone, email and walk-ins. You choose how many rinks, tables or boats we can sell and on which days, and you can block any date. Most venues start by giving us their quiet times.

Who sets the price?+

You do. We show your price exactly as you set it, per person or per rink/boat, with your own deposit. During launch nobody pays anything on top.

What does it cost?+

Nothing until at least 31 March 2027: no listing fee, no booking fee, no monthly fee. After that, a small cut only on bookings that come through Crew Dibs. No lock-in.

What if it rains or someone cancels?+

Your rules apply. You write your weather and change policy once, and we show it word for word before anyone pays. Moving a booking to another free time takes the organiser two taps.

Do I need new software or a tablet at the front desk?+

No. Bookings come to your email with a reference. If you want, we can block the same times in the system you already use.

What about the photo shoot?+

During launch it's free: about an hour on site, 15–25 edited photos and a short vertical video. You approve everything before it goes up, and you can use them on your own website and socials.
