How it works
Here's how parents will book you.
- 1
Parents find you
Families search by date, group size, age and area, and your listing shows up with your open times.
- 2
They see your packages and open times
Your packages, prices and what's included sit right next to the times you have free.
- 3
They book and pay online
Parents pick a time, see the full price with tax and pay online. The time is then blocked for everyone else.
See what a few extra parties could mean
- Gross bookings
- $1,400
- $16,800
- kikibash fee
- $70
- $787.50
- What you keep
- $1,330
- $16,012.50
Fee: 5% per completed party ($15 minimum, $60 maximum) ($17.50 per party here). Your first 3 completed bookings are free, so the first year counts 3 fewer fees. Before tax and your payment provider's fees.
Example only. Your results will vary.
The old way vs. the kikibash way
The old way: Answering endless DMs and emails about prices
The kikibash way: Parents see your packages, prices and open times instantly
The old way: Chasing e-transfers and balances
The kikibash way: Parents book and pay online
The old way: Logging phone and website bookings in separate places
The kikibash way: Add phone and website bookings in seconds, so that time is blocked for parents
The old way: Losing families to whoever replies first
The kikibash way: Instant booking confirmation, even while you sleep

Questions? We've got answers
How much does it cost?
Free to join, with no monthly fees and no contract. Your first 3 completed bookings are free; after that it's 5% per completed party ($15 minimum, $60 maximum), locked in for 12 months for founding partners.
How do payments work?
Parents pay online when they book, and the money goes straight to your own Square or Stripe account. kikibash never holds your money.
I don't use Square or Stripe. Can I still join?
Yes. Parents pay online through Square or Stripe, so the money goes straight to you. If you don't use either yet, you can open a free Stripe account in a few minutes, and we'll walk you through it during setup.
What counts as a completed party?
A booking that goes ahead. There's no kikibash fee on cancelled or declined bookings, or on bookings you add yourself, like phone bookings and walk-ins.
What happens if a parent cancels?
You set your own cancellation and refund terms, and parents see them before they pay. Any refund goes back through your own Square or Stripe account, and there's no kikibash fee on a cancelled booking.
Will it clash with how I take bookings now?
No. kikibash works alongside your current system, like OpenTable does for restaurants. Add phone and website bookings in seconds so those times are blocked for parents.
How will parents find my listing?
Before launch, we're building a list of Toronto parents planning parties, publishing local party guides and growing @getkikibash on Instagram. At launch, your listing shows up when parents search by date, age, group size and area.
What do I need to do to get set up?
Send us your website, Instagram or price list and we'll build your profile and packages for free. You review it, connect your payment account and block out any times already booked.
Is it just for venues?
No. Entertainers and food & treat businesses can join too.
I'm outside Toronto. Can I still join?
Yes. Apply and tell us where you are; we'll be in touch when kikibash comes to your area.
