Smartwaiver is excellent at what it does: digital waivers. But if you're running an activity park, you need more. You need a booking system, a waiver system, and ideally a POS — and you need them all to talk to each other. With Smartwaiver, you're patching together multiple systems with integrations that break. wakesys gives you everything in one platform, built to work together from day one.

Why operators choose wakesys over Smartwaiver
Real reasons from real park operators who made the switch.
One system instead of two
Stop paying for separate booking and waiver systems. wakesys includes waivers in the booking flow — guests book and sign in one seamless experience.
Group waivers that work
Birthday party host books, shares a link. Each parent claims their kids and signs waivers. Real-time status shows who's done. Smartwaiver can't connect to your booking system like this.
True pre-arrival experience
With wakesys, guests sign waivers as part of booking — before they leave home. With Smartwaiver, you're hoping they click a separate link. Most don't.
Mobile-first everything
60-second booking on phones, waiver signing included. Apple Pay, Google Pay. One smooth experience, not a janky redirect to a waiver system.
Better value
Smartwaiver starts at $15/month plus per-waiver fees that add up fast. wakesys is free for 2026 with everything included — booking, waivers, and POS.
Built for activity parks
We run parks ourselves. We know you need booking, waivers, and walk-in POS working together. That's why we built them as one system.
What sets wakesys apart
Features you won't find anywhere else.
All-in-One Platform
Smartwaiver only does waivers. You still need a booking system (Checkfront? FareHarbor?) and probably a POS. That's three vendors, three bills, and integration headaches. wakesys is booking, waivers, and POS in one platform that just works together.
Group Booking Magic
The birthday party host books and gets a claim link. Each parent clicks, claims their kids, and signs waivers — all in one flow. On party day, everyone's ready. You can't do this with Smartwaiver because it doesn't know about your bookings.
Waivers in the Booking Flow
With wakesys, guests sign waivers as part of booking. It's not a separate step they forget. By the time they confirm, waiver is signed. With Smartwaiver, you're sending reminder emails hoping they'll click through.
Built by Park Operators
We run activity parks ourselves. We tried using Smartwaiver plus a booking system — it was a mess. So we built wakesys to do everything in one place. One login, one vendor, one system.
