Tank booking
Online bookings by tank or room with float length, filter cycle and clean time built into every slot.
Float centre booking software: tanks, packs & gift vouchers
Float centres: every tank booked, every gap filled. More floating, less fiddling.
Forty-minute gaps between floats, gift vouchers tracked in a spreadsheet, packs counted on paper cards and first-timers who float once and vanish. We build float centre systems that keep tanks turning over, sell vouchers while you sleep and turn one-off visitors into regulars. Then we host them and look after them.
Looking for float centre booking software that actually understands tanks?
A float centre lives on tank utilisation. Every float needs filter and cleaning time after it, every first-timer needs the same pre-float rundown and a big chunk of your takings walks in the door as a gift voucher somebody else paid for. Generic salon booking apps treat a tank like a hairdresser's chair. So you end up with odd gaps, staggered starts done in your head and a voucher spreadsheet nobody trusts.
Wollopit builds custom float centre software around how your tanks actually turn over. Bookings know each tank's cycle, starts are staggered so the showers and front desk never jam and vouchers, packs and memberships redeem themselves at checkout. First-timers get the prep info and waiver before they arrive, then a nudge to come back. We connect the tools you already like, replace the ones holding you back and look after the lot on our own servers.
01The problems
What we hear from float centres
Does your float centre have these problems? Here's how we'd fix them.
Most float centres we talk to have a calm, beautiful space out the front and a scramble of apps, paper cards and clipboards out the back. It holds together until a busy Saturday.
- The problemAwkward gaps between floatsA 60-minute float in a 90-minute slot leaves odd chunks of empty tank time nobody can book.How we fix itSlots built from each tank's float length plus filter and clean time, so the day packs tight with no orphan gaps.
- The problemEveryone gets out at onceThree tanks finish together, the showers back up and the front desk is swamped with people wanting tea and a chat.How we fix itStaggered start times across tanks so people arrive, shower and leave in a steady trickle.

03The systems
The big ones
Your whole float centre, on one system.
These are the systems float centres ask us about most. Each one works on its own and they get properly clever when they're joined up.
Tank booking
Every tank turning over, no orphan gaps.
Bookings built around how your tanks actually run. Each tank or room knows its float lengths, filter cycle and clean time, so slots line up back to back. Starts are staggered across tanks so the showers and front desk stay calm.
- Separate schedules per tank, pod or room
- Filter and clean time built into each slot
- 60, 90 and 120-minute floats
- Staggered starts across tanks
- Couples floats in matching tanks
- Gap-filling slot suggestions
- Late arrival rules shown at booking
- Card on file or deposit
- SMS and email reminders
- Waitlist for cancellations
Gift vouchers
Vouchers that sell themselves and redeem cleanly.
Gift vouchers sold on your website at midnight before Mother's Day, emailed in your branding or printed at the desk. Codes are unique, balances update on redemption and nobody is digging through a spreadsheet to check one.
- Buy online any time
- Dollar value or float experience vouchers
- Emailed, printed or scheduled to send
- Branded designs for occasions
- Unique codes and QR redemption
- Partial balances carried over
- Expiry tracked properly
- Redeemed straight at online booking
- Corporate bulk vouchers

Packs & memberships
Regulars who float on autopilot.
Float packs that count down themselves and memberships that bill on direct debit with monthly credits ready to book. Members see their balance on their phone and failed cards retry without you picking up the phone.
- Three, five and ten-float packs
- Automatic countdown at booking
- Balances on the customer's phone
- Monthly memberships on direct debit
- Float credits added each month
- Member pricing on add-ons
- Pause and freeze rules
- Failed payment retries

First-timers & return visits
Turn one float into a habit.
First-timers get the prep guide, orientation video and health waiver before they walk in, so the desk isn't giving the same speech all day. After the float an intro pack offer lands at the right moment and lapsed regulars get a gentle nudge.
- Pre-float prep guide by email or SMS
- Orientation video link
- Health questions and waiver
- Contraindication flags for staff
- Post-float follow-up
- Intro pack offers for first-timers
- Lapsed floater campaigns
- Google review requests
- Birthday and milestone offers
- Return rate reporting
Tank care
Water logs off the clipboard.
A tablet by the tanks for logging temperature, specific gravity and sanitiser checks between floats. Filter changes, salt top-ups and deep cleans come up as reminders and every record is there when the inspector or your insurer asks.
- Checks logged per tank
- Temperature and specific gravity
- Sanitiser and pH readings
- Out-of-range alerts
- Filter change reminders
- Salt top-up tracking
- Deep clean schedule
- Staff sign-off on each check
- Tank blocked out for maintenance
- Exportable care history
04How it changes
Before and after
A Saturday of back-to-back floats, wolloped.
Here's how a busy Saturday could change. Every float centre runs differently, so we map yours first.
Before
- Odd 40-minute gaps nobody can book
- Three tanks finish at once and the showers jam
- A voucher code that isn't in the spreadsheet
- The same pre-float speech to every first-timer
- A no-show leaves Tank 2 empty at 3pm
- Water checks scribbled on a damp clipboard
After
- Slots line up back to back with clean time built in
- Staggered starts keep the showers moving
- Voucher redeemed online with the balance updated
- Prep guide and waiver done before they arrived
- Reminder text sent and the gap filled from the waitlist
- Checks logged on the tablet by each tank

07How we work
The process
Some people dip their toe in. We turn up in a rebreather.
We get properly below the surface of your float centre: the systems, the busy days and the jobs everyone hates. Then we fix the bits that matter most first.
- 01
Think
We spend time at the front desk and in the tank rooms, then work out what's actually slowing you down.
- 02
Archi-tech
We plan it before writing code: your tanks, cycles, vouchers, packs, members, waivers, hosting and cost.
- 03
Build
Real engineering, shown to you early and often. Usually the most painful bit first, so you get a win before the next voucher rush.
- 04
Look after
We host it, maintain it and keep improving it. When something breaks you call the people who built it.
08Questions
FAQ
Things float centres ask us.
Something else on your mind? Ring 0423 011 252 and ask the people who'd build it.
Can it handle multiple tanks and rooms?
Yes. Each tank, pod or float room has its own schedule, float lengths and clean time. Customers can book side-by-side floats for couples in one go.
Can it stagger start times so the showers don't jam?
Yes. We set start times across tanks so people arrive and finish in a steady flow instead of all at once.
Can gift vouchers be sold online and redeemed at booking?
Yes. Vouchers sell on your website with unique codes, get emailed or printed and redeem straight at checkout. Partial balances carry over and expiry is tracked properly.
Can first-timers fill in the waiver before they arrive?
Yes. Health questions, waiver and prep info go out after booking, so it's signed and on file before they walk in. Staff get a flag if something needs a chat.
We already use Mindbody or Fresha. Do we have to switch?
No. If your booking platform is doing its job we build around it: vouchers, follow-ups, tank care logs and your website on top. If it's holding you back we'll show you what replacing it would involve before anything changes.
Can memberships run on direct debit?
Yes. We connect to Ezidebit or Stripe so members are billed automatically, credits land each month and failed payments retry without you chasing them.
How much does a float centre system cost?
It depends on what you need, so we quote up front once we understand it. No surprise invoices, no lock-in and you own what we build.
How long does it take?
Smaller jobs like online vouchers or a waiver flow can be quick. Bigger systems are planned in stages so you get the first win early instead of waiting for everything at once.
Who looks after it once it's built?
We do. We host it on our own managed servers and keep it updated and secure. When you need something you ring the people who built it.
We already have systems. Can you upgrade them instead of starting again?
Usually, yes. Most float centres we work with keep what's working and upgrade the rest in stages. We move your data across, connect the old and new while we switch and retire the old system only when the new one is proven.
