wakesys reality: Our larger parks process more bookings in a single week than this. wakesys handles millions of transactions annually across our parks worldwide.
Wakeque claims: "Up to 6x more cost-effective than competitors"
Reality: The true cost of software includes lost revenue from missing features, manual workarounds, and operational inefficiencies. A complete solution pays for itself.
