01
Restaurants and dining rooms
The paper book becomes a board, and the website starts taking the bookings that used to interrupt prep. Party size is fitted to the smallest table that seats it, turn times keep the second sitting honest, and deposits go on the bookings that have historically walked.
- Sittings, service windows and a real turn time per party size
- Walk-in queue with a quoted wait, so the door and the book agree
- Deposits on large parties, peak windows and new guests
- Guest records with allergies, notes and the table they always ask for
02
Hotels, guest houses and bed and breakfasts
Rooms become bookable from the property's own site instead of only through a channel that takes a percentage. Minimum stays, arrival and departure days and room types are all part of the fit.
- Room types, minimum stay and closed-to-arrival rules
- Booking engine on the property's own domain
- Confirmation and pre-arrival messages with directions and check-in times
- Deposits or full prepayment on non-refundable rates
03
Salons, barbers and spas
A booking here is a chair, a person and a length of time, which is the same problem as a table with a different name. Long treatments get deposits, because an empty chair hour cannot be sold twice.
- Bookings per staff member, per chair and per treatment duration
- Buffers for cleaning and turnaround between clients
- Deposits on long or high-value treatments
- Rebooking prompts in the follow-up message
04
Clinics and practices
Slots per practitioner, a reminder sequence that actually reduces missed appointments, and a fee policy the patient agreed to when booking rather than one discovered afterwards.
- Slot length by appointment type and by practitioner
- Reminder sequence with one-tap confirm, which is where most of the no-show reduction comes from
- A written no-show fee policy attached to the booking
- Guest notes kept to what the front desk needs to run the day
05
Campgrounds, glamping and cabins
Pitches and cabins behave like rooms with seasons attached. Minimum stays over holiday weekends, seasonal opening windows, and the same booking page on your own domain.
- Pitch and cabin types with their own rules
- Seasonal windows and minimum stays on peak weekends
- Deposits on long stays and holiday bookings
- Arrival information sent before the guest gets in the car
06
Meeting rooms and event spaces
Venues that rent space as well as serve food run both on one board. Hourly rooms, buffers for reset between bookings, and a minimum spend where the room only makes sense with catering attached.
- Hourly booking with a reset buffer between two groups
- Minimum spend and prepaid packages on peak windows
- One board that shows the private dining room next to the dining room itself
