Point of sale and check-in for tour and activity operators Run the whole operation. Free, forever.

Opero is the counter, the handheld scanner and the agent portal for operators who sell excursions, activities, rentals and day passes, from a single stall to a full carnival. Sell at the counter, band the guest with a QR wristband, scan them onto the boat, serve their lunch and count the drawer at close, all in one system.

No subscription. No commission. No trial that runs out. Every module included.

QR wristband check-in: one band, one guest, one day

Everything the guest does, recorded on the band.

The wristband is the thread through the day. Every scan lands on the same booking, so the counter, the jetty and the kitchen see the same guest.

  1. Counter

    Sold and paid

    Snorkel trip for two with lunch. Paid in dollars, change given in rufiyaa at the rate of the moment.

  2. Counter

    Wristband bound

    One scan ties the QR band to the booking. Lose the slip, keep the band.

  3. Scanner

    Waiver signed

    The guest signs on the handheld. The signature is stored with the booking.

  4. Scanner

    Boarded

    Scanned at the jetty onto the transfer. The trip's manifest updates as they step on.

  5. Scanner

    Called from the queue

    Token A-014 is served. Use of the activity is logged against the band.

  6. Scanner

    Lunch served

    The meal is marked as served, so nobody eats twice.

  7. Counter

    Drawer counted

    The session closes by denomination. Expected, counted and variance, per currency.

Example day. Times are local to the operator's timezone.

Features

Set up in minutes. Never sell gear you do not have.

Guided setup for rentals, excursions and dive centres

No wall of settings. Start from the kind of thing you sell.

  • Pick what you sell, answer a few questions, and Opero builds the service, its options and its schedule.
  • Price by quantity: group rates, dive-count steps, or one free for every ten paid.
  • Sell packages as passes the guest uses over several days, one scan at a time.
  • Link the boat or the gear it needs, or create it in the same save.

Resource planning that stops overbooking

Boats, tanks, kayaks, cabanas. Opero counts them against every booking.

  • One trip can need several things at once: a boat, tanks and BCD sets. When any one runs out, the sale stops.
  • See the week ahead as need against stock, and each day as a timeline of who has what, when.
  • Take damaged, serviced or lost units out of booking until they are back, and see which bookings no longer fit.
Example

Who it is for

Built for the way tour and activity operators work.

Pick what you sell during setup and Opero shapes the service around it: seats on a departure, units by the hour, a pass for the day or a dive package.

  • Dive centres

    Boat dives sold by the seat, dive packages used one dive at a time, and tanks and BCD sets counted against every trip.

    Dive centre setup, packages, resources

  • Water sports and jet ski rentals

    Jet skis, e-foils and kayaks rented by the hour. Each unit is counted, and a damaged one is held out of sale until it is back.

    Set departures with seats per trip, the passenger list at the jetty, and lunch served against the booking.

From one stall to a whole carnival.

Start with a single tablet at a single counter. Add counters, handhelds and modules as the operation grows. It is the same Opero, and it stays free.

Running your operation is free, forever.

  • No card needed to sign up.

Coming later: sell on online travel agencies such as GetYourGuide and Viator through our channel manager, switched on from inside Opero, with your availability kept in step on every channel. It will be the one paid add-on. Everything above stays free.

Questions

Before you sign up.

Is Opero really free?

Yes. Everything in Opero that runs your operation is free forever: the counter, the scanner, the agent portal and every module. It is not a trial and no module is held back.

Will you ever charge for anything?

Only for selling on online travel agencies. We plan to let you connect Opero to channels such as GetYourGuide and Viator through our channel manager, switched on from inside Opero, so a booking on any channel uses the same capacity you sell at the counter. It will be an optional paid add-on, priced when it launches. Nothing you use in Opero today will move behind it.

Who is Opero for?

Operators who sell trips, activities and day passes at a counter and then serve the guest on site: dive centres, water sports and jet ski rentals, snorkel and island day trips, picnic islands, speedboat transfers, parks and carnivals. It fits one stall with one tablet as well as a site with many counters and a scanner at every gate.

What do I need to get started?

A tablet or laptop with a browser for Opero Counter. Add Android or iOS handhelds for Opero Scanner when you want to scan guests in the field. A setup wizard walks you through your business, taxes, currency and first service.

How do QR wristbands work in Opero?

At the counter, one scan binds a QR wristband to the booking. From then on every scan on a handheld (check-in, boarding a transfer, using an activity, serving a meal) lands on that same booking, so every station sees the same guest.

Can travel agents book with me through Opero?

Yes. Invite the agents you already sell through to the Opero Agent Portal and agree a rate with each one, per service. They book you directly at those rates and their bookings land in your counter like any other.

Whose name is on the receipts?

Yours. Receipts, waivers and slips carry your business name and details. Opero appears only as a small credit.

Can other operators see my data?

No. Every operator's bookings, guests, staff and cash are kept separate, and each staff account only reaches its own operator.

Which currencies and taxes does it handle?

You pick a base currency and add the others you accept. Guests can pay in more than one currency, and the exchange rate is fixed at the moment of payment. Tax rules are set up from your country and you can edit them.
