Start your venue
Launch your loading dock calendar
Join the waitlist for early access. After launch you can provision your site, pin your dock, and share vendor booking links — self-serve.
Built for venue ops and tour load-ins
Gate Booker is for event coordinators who need quiet docks — not invented customer logos.
How it works
Temporary event staging for your loading dock — from one coordinator link to verified arrivals in minutes.
- Step 1
Map your staging zone
Drop a pin on your venue map, draw the staging area, and set 30-minute arrival windows — 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 on the web
Drivers open the link, pick a slot, enter their plate — no app download, no account. With SMS consent, confirmation and QR arrive by text.
- Step 4
Check in at the gate
Vendors tap I’m here for a one-shot zone check, then supervisors scan QR at the gate.
Quiet docks for event coordinators. Zero apps for vendors.
Drivers book on a web link. Optional SMS when enabled. Gate supervisors scan QR at the dock.
Custom site maps
Draw your staging zone on the venue map and set timed windows so trucks stop fighting over one bay.
Tap I’m here when you arrive
Vendors confirm arrival with a one-time location check on the manage link — we verify they’re in your staging zone, without background tracking.
Reschedule via web link
Need a different window? Vendors change their slot from the same link — if capacity allows.
Running late? Reply or tap
Drivers mark late from the manage link, or by texting LATE when SMS is enabled. Coordinators see updates on the dock schedule.
Gate Supervisor QR scan
Scan QR passes with the Gate Supervisor app. Offline roster grant and public store listings are coming soon.
Not another warehouse ERP
Why legacy dock tools fail temporary staging
Enterprise suites, flat calendars, and closed fleet apps were built for permanent yards — not independent vendors at one temporary gate. See the full side-by-side on a dedicated page (mobile-friendly cards, not a wide table).
Built for link-driven docks — not another vendor portal
Instant booking for temporary gates: one dispatch link, SMS-claimed slots, QR at check-in. Built for festivals, arenas, and touring load-ins.
Live events
Start with live events & venues
Festivals, arenas, and tour load-ins — zero vendor onboarding, mapped staging, and QR gate checks for temporary perimeters.
For coordinators & gate supervisors
Gate Supervisor tools — store listings in progress
Vendors never need to download anything. Your gate team scans QR codes and checks trucks against today's roster in the Gate Supervisor experience. Offline roster mode and App Store / Play listings are in progress — try the gate flow in the demo today.
Gate Supervisor for iOS and Android is in progress — QR scan and staging-zone checks work in the demo today. App Store and Play listings are not live yet; offline roster mode is on the roadmap.
