Run the experience.
We’ll run the rest.
IOX is the booking platform behind venues like Barter Theatre, Music Academy of the West, Smoky Mountain Escape Games, 7D Dark Ride Adventure, River Creek Stables, and The Whiz Cells. Bookings, payments, loyalty, post-stay news, your website if you want it — all of it. You keep 100% of your ticket price. The platform is funded by the customer’s 6% booking fee.

Everything you’d have to build,
already running.
Most venues stitch together a booking engine, a payments processor, a mailing list, a loyalty plugin, and a review widget — and still don’t have the gift jar or party chat. IOX gives you all of it as one platform.
- BookingsA full booking platform, on day one.
Branded checkout, mobile-first, card payments, instant confirmation emails. Point your domain and start taking bookings — no stack to build.
- Website + hostingA site for your venue, included.
If you want, we move your venue website onto IOX too — fully designed, fully hosted. Same booking flow, same brand, one place to manage everything. No extra bill.
- LoyaltyA points + tier program, ready out of the box.
Every booking earns loyalty points. Tier perks scale across IOX, so a guest who visits you once has a reason to come back — and a reason to bring a crew.
- Cross-promotionGuests already in the ecosystem find you.
When someone books an experience nearby, your venue surfaces on their dashboard as a recommendation. The discovery surface is built in — no ad spend to use it.
- News to past guestsA direct line to people who’ve already walked in.
Post tenant news — new rooms, league nights, holiday hours — directly to the dashboards of guests who have history with you. No ad spend. No newsletter platform.
- The wallReal voices tied to the experience.
Guests leave “shouts” — sticky-note notes — tied to the moment, not buried on a review aggregator. You see what they actually said, and so does the next group.
- Party chat (opt-in)Drop a line into the group, if they let you.
Each booking can spin up a party thread. The host can invite you in to answer a question or share a tip the night of. You speak only when they ask you to.
- The dataThe dashboard you actually need.
Repeat-visit rates, party-size trends, the experiences that earn the most love, the voices on your wall. No CSV exports. No agency in between.
- New — The Gift JarA small bonus, as the network grows.
Adventurers can spend loyalty points to send a venue they loved a small gift card. It’s funded entirely from IOX’s side — extra revenue at payout, not a deduction. Early days: think tip-line, not headline number.
Moving to IOX
costs you nothing.
You keep 100% of your ticket price. Your customer pays an honest 6% booking fee on top — they see it clearly before they confirm. That fee funds the entire IOX platform: the booking system, the payments, the loyalty program, the cross-promotion, and your website if you move it to us.
We live off that fee, not your margin. No monthly bill, no setup charge, no hosting invoice, no surprise rate hike.
Three steps.
Not three months.
- ITell us about your venue.
A short conversation — what you run, where, how guests book today. We confirm fit and walk you through what changes.
- IIWe set you up — website too, if you want it.
Logo, accent color, your domain. We can either drop our booking flow into your existing site or rebuild your whole site on IOX. Either way, it’s included.
- IIIYou start taking bookings.
Within a week, typically. Loyalty, cross-promo, news feed, party chat — all live from day one. No phase two.
