Karting ticketing

Booking built for karting.

Sell race sessions, arrive-and-drive slots and events from your own page. Cap every grid to the karts you run, add a race licence and photos, and take the money straight into your own Stripe account.

Running the track

Full grids, every session.

Weekend grids, stag parties and the school-holiday rush sell themselves online, while your team stays trackside.

Capped to the grid

Give each session its own limit and it stops selling when it is full. You never put more drivers on the grid than you have karts for, and every session can hold a different number.

Peak and off-peak pricing

Price your quiet weekday sessions lower than your weekend peaks, so the empty grids fill without you discounting the busy ones.

Licences and extras

Sell a first-time race licence, photos and a second race as their own ticket types at their own prices, in the same basket as the race and counted separately.

Door check-in

Scan the QR from each booking at the door on any phone, or tick drivers off the list on screen. Walk-ins and pre-booked, one door.

A till for walk-ups

The Sell screen turns any tablet into a till for cash or card. Walk-up drivers land in the same session counts and end-of-day totals as the online bookings.

Reports at a glance

See your bookings, takings and how full each grid ran, so you know what to price up, what to push and where the quiet spots are.

Filling the quiet grids

Every booking goes and gets you the next racer.

Parties bring the whole grid

Once a racer has booked, one tap posts the session to their group chat, previewing with your track's photo and name on it. Their friends book the same grid.

Google reviews, asked for automatically

A friendly ask lands the day after they race, while it is still fresh. For a local track, more reviews is the single best way to be found.

Half-booked grids, chased back

Someone wanders off mid-booking and Hatch nudges them an hour later. Grids quietly filled, nothing for you to do.

Your sessions, published to Google

Every session goes out as structured event data, the kind Google uses for "go karting near me" and its things-to-do results.

Your racers stay yours

They book on your page, under your name, and you keep the customer list and the data. Software you run, not a marketplace that rents you your own customers.

Stripe is the trusted card-payments provider that pays your takings straight into your own account. Guided sign-up, and we are on hand if you get stuck.

Rather we set it up with you? Book a demo and we'll build your page with you, live.

*Stripe has to verify your account before you can take money. That part is usually the longest, and it is the one bit that is not in our hands.

Got questions

Straight answers.

Can I cap each session to the number of karts I run?

Yes. Every session has its own limit, and once it is full it stops selling, so you never put more drivers on the grid than you have karts for. Different sessions can hold different numbers.

Can I sell a race licence and photos alongside a race?

Yes. Alongside the race you add extras as their own ticket types at their own prices, such as a first-time race licence, photos or a second race, and each is counted and reported separately.

Can I run arrive-and-drive, grand prix events and parties from one system?

Yes. Arrive-and-drive sessions, grand prix events, practice and parties are all just sessions with their own times, prices and capacities, run from one venue and one dashboard.

Can racers change their own booking?

Yes. From their confirmation a racer can change their own booking, moving to another time or adding and dropping tickets, confirmed by a short code we email them. If the change works out cheaper we refund the difference straight to their card, with nothing for you to do. If it costs more, they pay the difference there and then. A full cancellation stays your call, a couple of clicks from your dashboard.

Do walk-ins and online bookings end up in one place?

Yes. The Sell screen takes walk-ins on any tablet as cash or card, and they land in the same session counts and end-of-day totals as the online bookings. One set of numbers.

What does a karting booking system from Hatch cost?

No setup fee, no monthly minimum, and the money is paid straight into your own Stripe account. Our fee is 3% of what you sell. All in, with card fees, that is about 4.5% + 20p a booking. For a track doing serious volume, or a group of venues, the rate flexes, so talk to us.
