FAQ
What is the MON$TER BOOKING SYSTEM?
An online booking engine for tour, charter and rental businesses: customers pick a trip, date and time on your website, pay a deposit, and the slot locks instantly. You run it from a mobile owner dashboard.
Does Rooster take a booking fee?
No. Payments go straight into your own Stripe account through Stripe Connect Standard. There is no per-booking fee or application fee, ever. Stripe's normal card processing applies.
Can two customers book the same boat at the same time?
No. Every boat is a locked resource. The first held or paid booking blocks any overlapping departure on that boat, enforced atomically in the database, so a double booking is refused even when requests arrive at the same instant.
Is there a Text-us widget too?
Yes. Visitors can send their name, phone and message from your site. Consent to transactional texts and optional marketing texts are captured separately, and the message goes to your SMS agent.
Can you set this up on my site?
Yes. Text Rudy and we will load your trips, prices and calendar and add the booking button to your website.
