Kids' week · day three

The day on one board
Every session, who is booked and which instructor has it. If the wind is wrong, you note it on the board and the reason stays on record.
Who it's for · Watersports centres
A form and a parent's signature for every child, before they get wet
Dinghy courses, paddleboard tasters and a week of kids' sailing sell side by side on your own website, in one diary. Every person on the water gets their own form, a parent signs for every child, and Keely chases the ones still missing so nobody rings round.
- £150 a month + 1.5% of bookings paid online
- Nothing on cash or bank-transfer payments
- Billed monthly. Prices exclude VAT

Your week
One Wednesday in August, from the office's side
The diary, the forms and the emails are Keely's job. The wind is still yours.
Register
09:15
Every child checked in
Each child needs a form and a parent's signature; the register shows who is still waiting. Medical notes are shown only to the office and that session's instructor.
On a phone, on the beach
11:40
Four places, one payment
A family books the 15:30 paddleboard on your website from the beach. Two adults, two children, four forms.
Gusting 28 knots
14:05
The wind gets up
You cancel the 15:30 and everyone booked gets an email. Each family picks another session from their phone, or takes the refund or credit you offer, and Keely records it against the booking.
A parent signs for every child before the day, so nobody holds a clipboard at the hut.
What Keely does for a centre
Done before the first session of the day
All of this is in Keely from your first day.
Bookings and courses in detail
- Courses and sessions in one diary
Five-day courses, two-hour tasters and kids' weeks side by side, with places left shown on your website.
- A form for every person on the water
One booking for a family still means a form each. A parent or guardian signs for each child, and Keely chases anyone who hasn't.
- Instructor tickets and boat checks
Qualifications with expiry dates and reminders. Each dinghy and rescue boat has its own list of checks with due dates.
- Packages and gift vouchers
Vouchers people can buy in December and spend in June, and packages of sessions sold as one.
- Your own website
Your pages, your dates and your checkout, in your colours. You change them yourself and see them before they go live.
- Moving a booking to a new date, by the office or the customer
The office moves a booking in one step, or the customer picks a new date themselves. Keely emails everyone and keeps the record.

A worked example
A centre taking £250,000 a year, with £150,000 of it paid online.
| Line | A year |
|---|---|
| Keely: £1,800 + 1.5% of £150,000, before VAT | £4,050 |
| A system at 1.75% of every booking (of £250,000) | £4,375 |
| A system at 3.5%, if every booking goes through it | £8,750 |
Your customers pay no booking fee, and the price on your website is the price they pay. The prices page works the sums for a centre your size. Card fees are charged by Stripe.
Questions
Questions a centre manager will ask
- Does Keely work for a lake or inland centre?
Yes. Courses, tasters and kids' weeks sit in one diary, whatever water you teach on. In the walk-through we set up a week of yours, with a course, a taster and a kids' week, so you can judge it on your own sessions.
- Can parents book several children at once?
Yes. One booking and one payment, with a form for each child for a parent to sign.
- Can we take card payments on the beach?
Yes. Take the card on Keely's card reader, which counts as paid online, send a pay link to their phone, or use your own card machine and record it against the booking. Your own card machine, cash and bank transfer carry no Keely fee.
- What happens to the bookings we already have?
We move your sessions, future bookings and customers across, and send your old page addresses to the new ones. Your team practises before anything goes to customers. The quiet months are the time to do it. How switching works
