We still wake up as eager as we did on day one to have the best online booking system available. We want to take the work out of managing the complexities and administration of service-based bookings and allow owners to focus on their customers and what they love.
Checkfront was initially conceived by co-founders Jason Morehouse and Grant Jurgeneit to help frustrated service operators better manage their bookings online.
While large companies had (arguably antiquated) systems for centralizing reservations and taking payments, many tourism and rental companies were still struggling to manage bookings with e-mail forms, spreadsheets, and clunky software – hardly an ideal solution for a business owner looking to create a seamless and professional online experience.
That’s why we scrutinize every aspect of our service. Our booking management software must be easy to use, beautifully designed, highly secure, perform flawlessly, and priced fairly.
Since launching in June 2010, Checkfront has grown from a humble operation into a dedicated workforce spread across Canada. Our product team is based in the beautiful capital city, Victoria, British Columbia.
We’ve processed over 5.1 billion USD in bookings annually, made by businesses in 128 countries around the world. From Alaska to New Zealand, we facilitate hundreds of thousands of bookings monthly.
It may sound cliché, but it’s the relationships we build with our customers that inspire us every day. We have the pleasure of working with business operators big and small, around the globe, who are passionate about what they do, and we love that we get to help them achieve their goals.
To top it off, we work in one of the most beautiful places on earth, with a team that truly cares about the product.
We’re so excited to announce that Checkfront has raised $9.3 million in our Series A funding round. Find out what our CEO, Jason Morehouse, had to say on this momentous occasion.
We believe that pricing shouldn’t stand between you and the booking management platform of your dreams. That’s why we’re introducing our zero payments plan — Flex.
