About
Hatch Tickets is a UK booking and ticketing platform for leisure venues that sell timed sessions: soft play, trampoline parks, ice rinks, escape rooms, seasonal attractions and more. If people book a slot and places are limited, Hatch handles it.
Each venue gets a branded booking page on its own subdomain. Payment goes straight into the venue's own Stripe account, so the venue is the merchant of record and Hatch never holds the money.
Recurring sessions and one-off events, capacity limits with live availability, ticket types, add-ons, discount codes and off-peak pricing. QR tickets are scanned at the door on a phone or tablet, and a built-in till takes walk-ins on a card reader, so online and in-person reconcile.
After the sale it builds the mailing list, asks visitors for a review and chases unfinished baskets. Multi-venue operators run several sites under one login, each with its own branding and Stripe account.
No monthly fee. Just 3% at the point of sale.

About
Porchlight is a cloud-based restaurant booking and operations platform for independent pubs, restaurants and cafés. Its AI phone host, Thomas, answers calls and books tables against live availability, with requests it cannot handle passed to staff as callbacks. Phone, website and Google bookings are brought together in one venue diary with a floor plan. The staff app combines rota management, clock-in, payroll-hour records, tips and food-safety checks, giving venues a shared place to manage bookings and day-to-day staff tasks. The service is designed for independent UK hospitality venues that need to handle reservations during busy service as well as when the venue is closed. Thomas recognises regular callers and remembers their usual table. Live at The Kings Head, Tealby since August 2026. Every venue gets a 14-day free trial, and we’ll visit anywhere in the UK to set it up.

Audience
UK leisure venues that sell timed sessions with limited capacity: soft play centres, trampoline parks, ice rinks, climbing centres, karting, mini-golf, escape rooms, seasonal and Christmas attractions, tastings and workshops. Typically independent, owner-operated single sites, plus small multi-site groups. The buyer is usually the owner or general manager rather than an IT team, so it has to work without a web developer or an in-house system. It suits any venue selling entry by time slot rather than open-ended admission, and anyone taking bookings online and walk-ins at the door who wants both in one place. It also fits seasonal operators, such as Christmas ice rinks, that trade for a few weeks a year
