One system for the whole day.
This page follows one booking from the first click to the takeout — what Tarn does at every step, and what you never have to do again.
A guest finds you at 9 PM. By 9:04 they're booked.
Your booking page shows real seats on real trips — never more than you can staff. The guest picks a time, pays a deposit, and the seats come off sale everywhere at once. You find out over breakfast.
The week before runs itself.
The moment the deposit lands, Tarn takes over the follow-up: waiver requests go out, reminders escalate as the trip nears, and the balance gets paid from a secure link. Guests handle all of it from one link — no account, no app, no calls to the shop.
Open the manifest. Make the call. Launch.
The morning's already assembled: guest counts, guide assignments, meeting spots, and live conditions on every departure. The go/no-go is one glance — and the shop, the guides, and the guests are all looking at the same information.
The trip ends. The relationship doesn't.
Every guest who signed a waiver is now on your list — not just the one who paid. The morning after, Tarn asks each of them for the review while the trip is still the best thing that happened all summer. Their history stays on one record, searchable seasons later, and exportable the day you want it somewhere else.
The whole operation, not a piece of it.
Tarn replaces the generic booking tool, the separate waiver app, the payment chases, and the three weather tabs with one system built for how outfitters actually work.
