The AI booking engine built to win you direct bookings.
Slate is booking software for tour, charter and transport operators. Your calendar is enforced by the database, so two guests can never hold the same seat. Switch in an afternoon.

Ask Slate
Set up your business by describing it.
Tell Slate what you run, typed or spoken, and it adds the services, boats, people and hours for you. It can only change your business, and it cannot delete anything or touch a booking.
- Nothing changes until you approve it. It drafts every change and shows you each one first.
- Every approved change is in History. Undo any of them, whenever you like.
- Staff can ask too. Their changes go to the owner to confirm by text.

Your business
What is set up so far
5 changes in History. Undo any of them.
Live in an afternoon, not a quarter.
Set up once. No implementation project, no consultant.
Set up what you run
Add a resource — a boat, a van, a guide, a room — with its hours and capacity.
Share your link
Drop it in your bio or embed it on your site. Guests only ever see real, open slots.
Take bookings you trust
Every reservation locks its slot on the calendar the moment it's confirmed.
BKG-1052, 2 guests
Slot locked the instant it saved.
How it holds up
One vehicle.One time.One booking.
A conflict check is a piece of software asking a question and hoping it gets an answer in time. Slate never asks. Once your three o’clock departure is taken, a second booking on it simply cannot be saved — not even if two guests hit Confirm in the same second.
There is no setting that turns this off.
A second booking at 4:00 overlaps BKG-1052, so Slate refuses to save it.
You pay when you get booked.
Unlimited — boats, vans, guides, rooms, staff, however many you run. There is no monthly fee. What you pay is 3% of what you actually book, and nothing at all until you book something.
Free
The whole booking engine, free to run. Slate earns when you do.
Charged on card bookings we process. Bookings paid on arrival, in cash, with a gift card, or anywhere outside Slate carry no booking fee at all. The full terms of the booking fee are in the Terms.

The math, if you’re used to a cut
Move the slider to what you book in a year.
Half the cut. $7,500 a year stays with you.
Around 6% is a commonly reported platform fee, not one we have verified. Slate’s 3% is the whole price: nothing else is added to it.
The full terms of the booking fee are in the Terms.
Take bookings you can actually trust.
We move your calendar across with you, so nothing goes live until it matches what you already run.
