Orhuk

Overview

Orhuk is a booking and operations platform for sports and fitness venues, particularly clubs that run both court reservations and scheduled activities. Its broad feature set, unlimited resources, and lack of a subscription make it a strong fit for facilities that want to avoid fixed software costs. The trade-off is a 3% fee on each transaction, alongside Stripe’s standard processing charges.

Customers use a facility-branded booking site to check availability, make and pay for bookings, manage memberships, and sign waivers. Orhuk says it avoids a built-in marketplace that would direct a facility’s members to competing businesses, a useful distinction for operators who want to keep bookings within their own customer channel.

Key features

Scheduling and operations

Orhuk handles court reservations as well as open play, round robins, ladder leagues, clinics, lessons, tournaments, and waitlists. That range suits venues with a varied program, not just facilities selling blocks of court time. Drag-and-drop scheduling, maintenance windows, and staff shift management bring day-to-day coordination into the same system; point of sale and multi-location support extend its reach beyond a single booking calendar.

Memberships, credits, session packs, and digital waivers with e-signatures support recurring customers and prepaid use. Online payment collection is included, but access control is not. Operators who need that capability will need to account for the gap in their stack.

Customer access, integrations, and AI

The branded booking site lets customers handle common booking and membership tasks directly. Web booking is the listed booking channel, even though the platform is available on Android, iOS, and the web. Integrations include Stripe, QuickBooks, Google Calendar, Razorpay, DOKU, an embeddable booking widget, webhooks, and a REST API, giving teams several ways to connect payments, calendars, and custom workflows.

Orhuk describes an AI assistant that can change pricing, staff schedules, and bookings from natural-language requests, with a preview before changes are applied. That review step is important for operational edits. The company also says AI can configure courts, open play, and pricing in six minutes; facilities should treat that as an estimate of the setup process, not a promise that every launch takes that long.

Pricing

Free

The Free plan has no subscription or monthly fee and includes all features, unlimited resources, and unlimited team members. There are no feature tiers or resource caps to force a growing club into a higher plan. The cost is a flat 3% per transaction, which players cover by default or the facility can absorb. Online payments run through the facility’s own Stripe account, and Stripe’s standard processing fees also apply, so the true cost depends on transaction volume and who pays the booking fee.

This model is well suited to facilities that want full functionality without fixed software spend and can pass the booking fee to players. A venue that absorbs fees, or processes a high volume of bookings, should weigh the cumulative transaction charges against a subscription-based alternative. Orhuk supports pickleball, tennis, and basketball court types.

Platforms

Orhuk is available on Android, iOS, through an API, and on the web. Customers book through the web channel. The API, webhooks, and embeddable booking widget give teams options to connect it to existing systems or place booking access in another site.

Who it's for

Orhuk is a strong candidate for pickleball clubs, racquet facilities, sports venues, climbing gyms, and boutique fitness studios that need scheduling, memberships, payments, and staff operations in one system. Multi-location support and unlimited team members make it relevant to operators with more than one site or a larger staff, while its API and integrations help teams fit it into an existing stack.

It is less suitable for organizations that require access control as part of their booking platform, or for operators who prefer predictable subscription costs over per-transaction fees. The facility also needs to decide whether players or the business will bear the 3% fee.

Pros and cons

• Pros: No subscription, feature tiers, resource caps, or team-member limits, so facilities can use the full system without a fixed software bill.
• Pros: Scheduling spans reservations, leagues, lessons, tournaments, and open play, alongside memberships, waivers, and operational tools.
• Pros: A branded booking site and no competing-business marketplace keep customer booking centered on the facility.
• Cons: The 3% booking fee stacks with standard Stripe processing charges, making transaction volume and fee allocation central to the cost decision.
• Cons: Access control is not included, which may require another solution for facilities that need it.

Verdict

Orhuk is best for sports and fitness facilities that want a broad, uncapped scheduling and management system without a subscription, especially those running multiple activity types or locations. Its strongest reason to choose it is the combination of full features, unlimited resources, and customer-facing booking in one platform. Look elsewhere if access control is essential or if a 3% transaction fee plus Stripe processing charges is less predictable than a fixed subscription.
