LOOP for your industry

    AI POS for Pickleball, Tennis & Badminton Courts

    What LOOP does for this industry

    LOOP for courts is a booking + POS system where every court is a bookable resource, every slot is priced dynamically by demand, every coach is a payee with a commission ledger, and every no-show is predicted 6 hours ahead so you can up-sell the slot before it's lost.

    The pains operators actually hit

    1. #1Bookings live in Zalo chat + Google Sheets — double-booking on Saturday morning.

      How LOOP solves each — with AI: Live booking grid with atomic slot locking + Zalo Mini App member booking. Zero double-books.

    2. #220–30% no-show rate on weekend prime slots costs you the highest-priced hours.

      How LOOP solves each — with AI: AI No-Show Guardrail scores each booking 6 hours ahead; high-risk slots auto-request deposit or re-list to waitlist.

    3. #3Peak-hour pricing is one flat rate — you leave money on the 18:00–20:00 pickleball window.

      How LOOP solves each — with AI: AI Peak Pricing lifts prime-window rates 25–50% based on last 8 weeks of booking demand.

    4. #4Coach commissions are calculated in a notebook at month-end; disputes every payday.

      How LOOP solves each — with AI: Coach Payout Ledger auto-records every coached session, applies the coach's split (%, fixed, or hybrid), and generates a signed payout statement.

    5. #5Pro-shop (racquets, strings, shuttles, paddles) sales aren't tied to member accounts.

      How LOOP solves each — with AI: One-tap member lookup at the pro-shop till; sales auto-attribute for stringing memberships and re-order suggestions.

    6. #6Members buy hour-packs on WhatsApp/Zalo screenshots — reconciliation is a nightmare.

      How LOOP solves each — with AI: Prepaid hour-pack SKUs in the Zalo Mini App with auto-decrement per booking.

    Three named AI capabilities

    AI Peak-Hour Pricing

    Sets per-slot pricing from 8 weeks of booking demand. Pickleball prime windows (18:00–21:00) can lift 25–50%; midday off-peak rates drop to attract retirees and coach lessons.

    AI No-Show Guardrail

    Scores every booking 6 hours ahead using member history, weather, slot price, and booking recency. High-risk bookings auto-request a VietQR deposit; if unpaid within 30 min, the slot re-lists to the waitlist.

    AI Coach Payout Ledger

    Records every coached session, applies the coach's split rules (percentage, fixed fee, or tiered by student level), and generates a monthly payout statement e-signed via Zalo — no more month-end spreadsheet disputes.

    Honest competitor comparison

    LOOP vs MyCourt / MATCHi

    Booking-first apps. Great UX for players, weak on POS, retail, coach payouts.

    Choose them if…

    • Booking discovery on a global player marketplace matters more than back-office

    LOOP vs PlayFinder / Playtomic

    Regional player marketplaces. Booking commission per slot, no unified POS.

    Choose them if…

    • You want player-side discovery and are OK paying booking commission

    LOOP vs Google Sheets + Zalo (current reality for ~70% of VN courts)

    Free, familiar, and cause of most weekend chaos.

    Choose them if…

    • You genuinely have <50 bookings per week and no coach staff

    Hardware & integrations

    One Android tablet at the front desk, one per pro-shop till, optional court-side QR posters for walk-up booking, VietQR + MoMo + ZaloPay for deposits. No proprietary hardware.

    Frequently asked

    Can players book from Zalo?

    Yes — LOOP publishes a Zalo Mini App with your court grid. Players see live availability, pay a VietQR deposit if the AI flags them as no-show risk, and receive a confirmation with map + directions.

    How does dynamic peak pricing avoid pissing off regulars?

    Prime-window lifts are capped (default 50%), off-peak drops are transparent in the Mini App, and members on annual packs are grandfathered at their base rate. Most venues see complaints spike week 1 then flat.

    How does AI No-Show Guardrail actually work?

    6 hours before the slot, LOOP scores the booking using member history (past no-shows, past cancellations), booking recency (booked 2 hours ago = higher risk), slot price, and weather. Scores above 0.7 trigger a VietQR deposit request via Zalo.

    Can I run pickleball, tennis and badminton on one system?

    Yes — each court has a sport tag, its own rate schedule, and its own equipment SKUs. Reports break down by sport and by court.

    How are coach hours tracked and paid?

    When booking a court, the player can add a coach. LOOP records the coach's session automatically, applies the split rules (percentage, fixed fee, or tiered), and generates the monthly payout statement. Coaches sign off in Zalo.

    Does the pro-shop support stringing subscriptions?

    Yes. Members can subscribe to unlimited stringing (or a monthly cap); LOOP tracks jobs against the subscription and prompts the stringer at pickup.
