Downloading & installing the Android mobile booking app

More and more these days, businesses in the tourism industry are moving away from traditional brick-and-mortar home offices to location-based satellite offices, often with very little in the way of computers and booking facilities. Imagine if you could make bookings and manage Customers from your mobile phone while renting out surfboards on the beach. Well, with Checkfront, you can do that.

Moreover, you can create new bookings directly from your device, taking your business wherever you go! The best part is you don't need to be near a computer terminal. You're good to go if your mobile device has battery power and an internet connection.

You can even use the device's camera to scan the QR Code on your Customer's invoice, instantly checking them in for their booking. Awesome, right?
