Why switch

Why operators choose wakesys over Funbutler

What changes for your guests, your front desk and your bills.

Built for more than classic FECs

Funbutler's industry pages cover trampoline parks, laser tag, bowling and similar FEC activities. wakesys adds aqua parks and wake parks, with capacity, waivers and one-tap weather refunds built for outdoor water operations.

Birthday parties that run themselves

The host books once and shares a claim link. Each parent claims their kid's ticket and signs their own waiver. No group waiver chasing, no spreadsheet, no front-desk pileup on party day.

Waivers before arrival, per guest

Group claim links collect a signature from every guest before they show up, and each parent signs for their own children. Across tens of thousands of checked-in tickets, 93% had a signed waiver before arrival.[2]

English, German and French built in

Your guests book in their language, your confirmation emails and waivers match, and your team works in the language they prefer. wakesys is fully localized in EN, DE and FR.

First 12 months free

Funbutler's business plan starts at 89 euro per month. On wakesys your first 12 months are free, with no yearly contract, so you can prove it works before you ever pay. After that it's 2% of what you take, dropping to 1% above $250,000 a year.[1]

Built by park operators

wakesys comes from people who run parks themselves. Our founder runs Charleston Aqua Park on it, and parks on four continents use it. Every feature exists because a real operator needed it on a real Saturday.
