Proposal · Pickleball Booking Platform

Why custom over SaaS

Own your platform. Own your data. Own your margins.

No SaaS cut

Foreign vendors take 3-5% on top of payment fees. A custom build pays itself back in 12-18 months.

Branded experience

Your domain, your design, your customer relationship — start to finish.

PH-native payments

GCash, Maya, GrabPay, OTC at 7-Eleven baked in — not bolted on.

Built for your flows

Open play, leagues, peak/off-peak, coach booking — shaped to how you run the courts.

Tech Stack

Modern, scalable, proven.

A stack chosen for fast time-to-launch, low ops overhead, and clean exit ramps. No vendor lock-in, no surprises.

The Fine Print

What we're assuming. What we're watching.

AssumptionsSCOPE

Single venue.No franchise or multi-tenant requirements at launch.
10,000 users total.Peak concurrency under 500 simultaneous active sessions.
Filipino + English UI.Default English with Filipino-friendly copy.
Client-provided assets.Court photos, branding, terms of service, cancellation policy text.
Business registration ready.For payment gateway merchant onboarding (Xendit / PayMongo).

Risks & MitigationsWATCH

Payment gateway KYC delay.Start onboarding day 1 of contract; build with sandbox keys in parallel.
Scope creep on coach/league features.Firm phase boundary; phase 2 contracts separately.
Double-booking under concurrency.DB-level locking + automated race-condition tests in week 2.
No-shows hurting revenue.Cancellation policy with partial refund window enforced at booking time.
Non-technical client.Weekly 30-min check-in; live staging URL throughout the build.
