Every lane busy, Mondays included
Monday through Thursday, half your lanes stay dark. SmartChat puts theme nights, party packages and league news straight onto your customers' phones, with a 98% open rate.
Sound familiar?
Weeknights run empty
On a Friday every lane is spoken for twice over. On a Tuesday you can hear every single pin drop. For the quiet days you are missing a channel that brings people in fast, without an ad budget.
The parties get booked somewhere else
Kids' birthdays, office parties, bachelor parties: that is your best business. But anyone who does not think of your lanes while they are booking ends up celebrating at the laser tag place next door.
Promotions go unnoticed
Glow bowling, happy hour, a themed week at the bar. Planned, posters up, and still half empty, because word simply never reached anybody.
How you use SmartChat
Turn a quiet night into an event
A quiet Wednesday becomes a fixture on the calendar: lights down, message out, and your regulars book their lane before the evening has even started.
Get birthdays and parties booked early
Anyone who has celebrated with you once will do it again, as long as you get in touch at the right moment. One message before birthday season and your Saturdays are gone weeks ahead.
Look after regulars and the league
Your league players and regular teams are the backbone of your weeknights. Season start, standings, a sub needed at short notice: it all runs through the channel they check every day.
Sell the food and drinks alongside
Your kitchen and bar earn their share too. People who book a lane order burgers and drinks as well, as long as you offer both in the same message.

FAQs
Do my customers have to download anything?
No. They read and reply in the WhatsApp they already use every day. SmartChat only works on your side of things: collecting contacts, writing the messages and sending them out.
How do I get my customers' phone numbers?
Through your own landing page, which SmartChat builds from your website: as a QR code at the bar, on the tables or on the lane screens. People scan it, sign themselves up and confirm with a double opt-in.
Is this legally sound?
Yes. The whole process is GDPR-compliant: double opt-in inside WhatsApp, a documented consent record, and an opt-out that works at any time with one single word.
What does it cost me per month?
SmartChat starts at 188 euros per month on the annual plan, with unlimited contacts on every plan. Meta bills you directly for the WhatsApp costs, and SmartChat puts nothing on top of that.
Evenings are our rush hour - when am I supposed to write messages?
You do not have to. The AI builds your landing page, newsletter and follow-ups from your website and hands you finished drafts. You skim them and approve, which is quicker than resetting a lane.
