Business: Glasshouse Padel Club Location: Bryanston, Johannesburg, South Africa

Problem solved (one line): A solo owner stops chasing court payments: players pay their own quarter, unpaid holds release themselves, and bookings confirm without a message.

Client brief: Glasshouse is an independent padel club with four glass courts (three indoor, one outdoor panoramic), open 06:00-22:30. The owner runs it alone and fields around [90] booking messages a day. Weekday evenings are packed and mid-mornings sit empty. About [1 in 5] bookings collapse when one friend never pays their share, leaving the court held and unsold.

What I built:

Front door: live availability across all four courts, honest peak, standard and quiet-hour prices, and booking with no account needed.

Follow-through: the court is held for 15 minutes while each friend pays their own quarter from their own link. At 4 of 4 paid, the booking confirms itself. If the squad doesn't fill, the court releases itself and goes back on sale.

Payments run in demo mode (approved and declined flows, receipts). No real money moves, and PayFast or Paystack would plug in for live use.

Owner view shows paid bookings and released holds without the owner sending a message.
