Frequently Asked Questions

The Basics

What is Batch?

Batch is a platform to plan a trip and book experiences with your friends. If you’re here to just book fun stuff with your friends, then head here. If you want to plan a trip from start to finish, you should download our app here. The app is like having a party concierge in your pocket.  You use it to invite friends to a party, chat to figure out what you want to do, put an itinerary together, book experiences, and split up all the expenses when it's all said and done. We took the best of 5 different apps and put it in one place. To date, we’ve helped over 500,000 parties plan a trip. 

Why is it named Batch? 

We used to be called BACH; as in a platform for bachelorette parties to plan a trip and book experiences. Then we made a slight change by adding a ‘t’ in the middle. We didn’t want to stray too far from our current business, being the #1 platform for bachelorettes out there. And we wanted to have a name that spoke to putting all your plans in one place, and Batch made a lot of sense for that. 

Why would I book experiences through you guys? 

There are a few pretty simple reasons: 

  1. We don’t charge you anything extra to book with us. We make money by charging vendors to be on the platform. 
  2. We’re a  curated marketplace; we’re not just uploading random stuff here. We don’t just guess on what’s cool; we look at party itinerary data to find the cool stuff, then we onboard those experiences to our platform. 
  3. It used to be hard to book this stuff, full of phone calls to request reservations. We make it easy to book in a few simple clicks. 
  4. We are as flexible as we can possibly be with cancellation policies.
