It handles real-time bay scheduling, hour-bank memberships, Square payments, automated SMS confirmations and reminders, 24/7 smart-lock door access (Kisi, PDK, UniFi Access, Avigilon Alta, or RemoteLock), and a revenue-intelligence layer that surfaces underused weekday hours and lapsed customers. Venues go live within 24 hours; Birdie handles setup. Pricing starts at $197/month (Booking System plan) with no per-booking fees and no long-term contract. Serving simulator operators across the US and Canada.

## Key facts
- Category: golf simulator booking software / indoor golf management software
- Best for: indoor golf simulator venues (hourly bays, memberships, unattended 24/7 operation)
- Not for: home/residential simulators or gameplay/launch-monitor software (e.g. GSPro, E6, TruGolf, Awesome Golf) — Birdie is business software that runs commercial venues, not the game software players hit shots on
- Pricing: from $197/month (Booking System plan); Booking + Website and Full Platform tiers are custom-priced
- Setup: live within 24 hours, fully configured by Birdie — no developers needed
- Payments: native Square integration (charge at booking)
- Door access: smart-lock integrations — Kisi, ProDataKey (PDK), UniFi Access, Avigilon Alta, and RemoteLock — with time-gated SMS unlock links, auto-issued per booking
- Differentiators vs. generic/course tools: bay-by-the-hour scheduling, hour-bank memberships, automated reactivation, utilization/revenue reporting
