How it works
Calendly for your loading dock — from one coordinator link to verified arrivals in minutes.
- Step 1
Pin your loading dock
Drop a pin on your venue map, set 30-minute arrival windows, and define staging bays — one calendar for every vendor.
- Step 2
Send one scheduling link
Share a single link with caterers, AV, staging, and every independent vendor. No spreadsheets, no group texts.
- Step 3
Vendors claim via SMS
Drivers click the link, pick a slot, enter their plate — no app download, no account. Confirmation + QR code arrives by text.
- Step 4
Scan at the gate
Gate supervisors scan plate or QR with their phone, verify instantly, and point trucks to the right bay. Traffic keeps moving.
Friction-free for vendors. Powerful for coordinators.
Drivers get SMS and a web link. Your gate team gets the mobile app. Nobody downloads anything they do not need.
SMS-first confirmations
Every vendor gets a text with their slot, a QR pass, and a web link — no app download, no corporate account.
QR + plate verification
Gate supervisors scan with their phone camera. Instant pass/fail and directions to the right staging bay.
Zero friction for drivers
Vendors and drivers never install anything. Click link → claim slot → enter plate → done.
Reschedule via web link
Need a different window? Vendors change their slot from the same link — if capacity allows.
Running late? Just reply
Drivers notify delays by replying to the confirmation text or tapping the link. Coordinators see updates live.
Map pin + timed windows
Drop a pin on your venue map and set 30-minute arrival slots so independent vendors stop fighting over one dock.
One problem. Every gate-heavy industry.
Independent vendors, one loading dock, zero coordination — until now. GateBooker started with live entertainment and scales to any site where trucks compete for the same gate.

For coordinators & gate supervisors
Mobile app for your gate team — not your vendors
Drivers and vendors never need to download anything. Gate supervisors and coordinators use the iOS and Android app to scan QR codes, verify plates, and direct trucks to staging bays — even with spotty connectivity at the truck gate.
