AI bookings for party rental businesses.
You rent marquees, tables, and chairs for weekend events. Your busiest inquiry day is the day before — when you're already at the warehouse loading the van. Botique replies in seconds with dates, deposit amounts, and a booking form, so inquiries become paid reservations without you pausing what you're doing.
Where DMs break down
- Customers ask "is it available on the 14th?" — you can't check stock while driving.
- Double-bookings when two customers confirm the same weekend within minutes.
- Chasing deposits by hand, one customer at a time, during setup day.

Frequently asked questions
How does Botique handle date conflicts for party rentals?
Every stock check is a live database query. When a customer asks "is the marquee free for the 14th?", the bot checks every confirmed and pending booking that overlaps those dates before quoting availability. Two customers asking simultaneously get accurate, non-conflicting answers — overlapping bookings are caught automatically.
Can the bot collect deposits before confirming a booking?
Yes. You configure a deposit percentage (e.g. 25% or 50%) in dashboard settings. Every quote and order form the bot generates includes the deposit calculated on the booking total. The customer pays it through Stripe Connect or bank transfer; you collect the balance on pickup or per your usual flow.
Does Botique work for last-minute or same-day rental bookings?
Yes. Dates are passed straight to the stock check, so a Friday-night DM about a Saturday rental gets the same accurate "available" or "fully booked" answer as a six-week-out request. There is no minimum lead time built in.
Can the bot quote multi-day rentals with pickup-and-return flexibility?
Yes. The order form takes a pickup date and a return date, so multi-day bookings are quoted on the day count, including any per-day discount you have configured for longer hires. Flexible windows like "pick up Friday, return Tuesday" appear as line items in the customer's quote.
