About
Bookeo is an all-in-one birthday party booking software built for solo entertainers, party venues, and mobile party trucks. It allows clients to view real-time availability, self-schedule parties, and make secure payments 24/7 from any device—without the business owner needing to intervene. The platform integrates directly into existing websites via an embeddable widget, or businesses can use Bookeo's standalone branded booking page. Automatic confirmation emails, SMS and email reminders, and post-event follow-up messages reduce no-shows and encourage reviews on platforms like Facebook and Yelp. Bookeo handles both online and in-store payments, including tap-and-swipe POS integration, with all transactions reflected in real time on a centralized dashboard. Its fully integrated digital waiver system lets guests sign waivers online before the event, via on-site kiosk, or QR code scan—automatically linked to customer profiles and bookings. The system also includes client database management, staff notifications, analytics, marketing features, and calendar sync. With customizable themes, colors, and layouts, businesses can maintain brand consistency throughout the booking experience. A 30-day free trial (no credit card required) makes it easy to get started. Bookeo is ideal for small to mid-sized party businesses looking to automate operations and scale without adding administrative overhead.
