# Tarn

Canonical: https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/software/560803/Tarn

> Tarn is booking and operations software for outdoor outfitters — rafting, kayaking, tubing, ziplines, climbing guides, fishing guides, and other guided trips. It was built inside a working rafting outfitter before it became a product, and it's shaped around how the day actually runs: the morning manifest, guide assignments, waiver chasing, and a guest who needs to pay a balance from the parking lot.

Guests book online against real-time availability, pay deposits or balances, and sign digital waivers — all in a phone browser, with no app to download. A self-service portal lets them settle balances and finish waivers without calling the office. Automated email and SMS reminders cover confirmations, waivers, trip reminders, and abandoned-cart recovery. Staff can enter phone bookings directly or text a quick-quote payment link — the booking confirms itself when the deposit is paid.

Operations run from any phone: daily manifests, guide scheduling with unlimited guide seats, two-way guest texting, live river and weather conditions, gift cards, discount codes, booking agents, and reporting with clean exports.

Pricing is pure usage: no monthly fee, no contract, no setup fee. Tarn takes 3% per booking, stepping down to 2% with volume, and you choose whether you or your guests pay it. Card processing runs on your own Stripe account at Stripe's standard rate. Every feature is included, migration help is free, and your data exports cleanly if you ever leave.
