One of the questions we get asked the most by bowling alleys, pickleball venues, and other unique “eatertainment” venues is how they can manage their lanes, tables, courts, and other resources using Perfect Venue. While Perfect Venue is great for managing large group inquiries that require communication and proposals with the guest, it is not built to manage the lanes, courts, and other resources that are the heart of these eatertainment venues - that’s why we’re excited to announce our partnership with Rex which is designed specifically to manage those requests.
Introducing Rex
Reserve with Rex is a reservation software designed specifically for venues engaged in eatertainment and competitive socializing. Rex provides a tailored solution for a wide array of activities and events, including lanes, bays, courts, and more, ensuring venues can sell their unique offerings seamlessly online. It allows guests to pre-book and pay for spaces, offering dynamic pricing to encourage bookings during off-peak times, and facilitates the management of party packages and bundles, making it easier to sell birthday parties, corporate events, and group events without manual intervention. The software is also designed to upsell add-ons for food, drinks, extended gameplay, and merchandise, thus increasing the booking size and revenue for venues.

Beyond its reservation capabilities, Rex offers extensive features to make venue management more efficient and to enhance the guest experience. The platform includes a singular calendar for viewing all bookings across resources, customizable schedules including special events and holidays, and support for walk-ins with real-time syncing between online and on-premise bookings.
Rex's flexibility extends to allowing venues to set custom cancellation and modification rules to reduce no-shows, customize booking details such as cut-off times and activity duration, and even offer contact-only packages for larger groups. It integrates with Perfect Venue for event management, supports direct booking links for marketing campaigns, and offers custom branding to ensure the venue's branding is front and center. For the eatertainment industry, Rex is more than a booking tool; it's a comprehensive solution designed to increase revenue, streamline operations, and deliver a better guest experience.
