The coordination behind every walk — and why generic tools miss it.
Most food tour operators run small, scheduled walks with a hard cap — vendors can only handle so many guests at once, and the route only works at a certain size. A lot of your guests are visitors booking from overseas before they land, and a no-show or an unconfirmed payment leaves you guessing whether the 5:30 walk is even running. The booking is easy. Knowing your group is locked and paid before you meet the vendors is the hard part.
Generic booking software is built for appointments — one customer, one slot. A food tour is the opposite: a scheduled group walk with a tight cap, often booked far ahead by international guests, with dietary needs to know before the first stop. Kong is built around how walk-based, group-capped operations actually run. Dusky Leaf Adventures runs food tours on Kong for exactly this kind of operation.
What a walk-based, group-capped operation needs from its booking system — on the web or the Kong app.
Set the cap for each walk and Kong stops taking bookings once it’s full — so the route and the vendors are never overwhelmed.
Guests book and pay by card in their own currency, any time zone, without WhatsApp — so visitors planning before they land can lock a seat instead of looking elsewhere.
Guests choose how many join and the price updates — a couple or a group of six — so you stop quoting per-head totals by hand.
Kong takes payment when the guest books — deposit or full, via Stripe or Xendit — so you know the group is real before you meet the vendors.
A confirmation email on booking and a reminder before the walk — fewer no-shows on a scheduled departure you’re running regardless.
Allergies and dietary needs come in with the booking, so you can brief vendors and plan stops before the first bite.
Every booking lands on the right walk, so each departure’s group size and guest list build themselves. Block out a day for a private tour or a vendor closure in one click — your booking pages stop taking bookings for it instantly.
No sign-up fees. No monthly subscriptions. No lock-in contracts. We charge a small 1.8% booking fee to the guest at checkout — you keep 100% of your tour price.
Stripe or Xendit payment processing fees still apply.
Kong is processor-agnostic. Connect Stripe or Xendit — whichever you already use, or whichever fits your market. Kong never holds your money.
