Surfboard rental
Ask a surfboard rental operator what breaks and the answer is never the booking form. The constraint here is matching board volume to the rider who booked it.
NO MONTHLY FEE · 4.5% AT CHECKOUT · PAID BY YOUR CUSTOMER
Surf rental runs on fit. Height, weight and ability decide which board leaves, so the booking has to capture the rider rather than the dates alone. Dings get recorded against the individual board or they become a conversation at the counter.
Plenty of shops run walk-up and delivery side by side, which means one availability view has to serve a customer standing in front of you and a villa drop happening at the same moment.
What the platform does here is narrow and specific. Add-ons, upgrades and bundles offered against the booking at checkout and afterwards, priced and stocked like everything else.
The problem it removes: margin left on the counter because the upsell lived on a laminated card nobody read. The number to watch is attachment rate, and average order value against the same unit count.
Add-ons draw on the same inventory as everything else, so offering a second helmet depends on a helmet being free that week. An add-on that oversells is worse than one you never offered.

The fee is added at checkout and paid by your customer, so the payout is your list price.
Bodhisys charges no monthly fee. The platform takes 4.5%, added to each reservation and paid by your customer rather than by you.
Bodhisys is rental operations software for companies that rent things, vehicles and experiences. It was built for rental inventory rather than adapted from a ticketing system, and it has been in market since 2023.
For surf rental shops, add-ons, upgrades and bundles offered against the booking at checkout and afterwards, priced and stocked like everything else.
There is no monthly fee. A 4.5% charge is added to each reservation and paid by your customer at checkout.
Bodhisys is younger than FareHarbor and Peek Pro and has a smaller install base. An operator whose revenue is mostly timed tours, or who needs a long list of third-party integrations today, is better served by an incumbent.
A tour flow sells a seat at a time. A rental flow has to capture what leaves, where it goes, when it comes back and who is responsible for it in between.
There is no monthly fee. A 4.5% charge is added to each reservation and paid by your customer at checkout.
Yes. Customers, future reservations and booking history migrate from FareHarbor, Peek Pro and Bike Rental Manager.
