The term is used to describe a wide range of businesses: bike hire, golf courses, holiday parks, attractions, escape rooms and more. What they have in common is that they need to manage several operational tasks simultaneously: renting out or booking something, receiving payment for it, scheduling staff to deliver the service, and reviewing what has happened afterwards. Separate tools for each of these tasks work, but lead to duplication of effort and data that doesn’t align. Leisure software such as Tilia combines these tasks into a single platform, built specifically for leisure businesses rather than adapted from general rental or retail software. When choosing leisure software, it’s worth checking whether POS, staff scheduling and multi-site management are included as standard, or whether they need to be purchased separately or are missing altogether.
