Casual Booking

Casual booking is one-off booking and does not repeat. User select an available time-slot, confirms the selection and pay for it if required.

Examples

  1. Medical appointments
  2. Sports facilities such as tennis courts
  3. Equipment or Transport rental
  4. Any business which makes an asset/service available to hire or book on ‘time basis’

Tuesday - Sat: 9AM to 7PM
Sun: 6AM to 6PM

  2. Configure customized templates and rules of notification. For example you can configure templates and rules like below

    Send "Thank you message" by "email" to the "user" when booking is confirmed
Send "Email alert" to my "staff" about users booking
Send "Reminder SMS" to user 24 hours prior to event time / appointment time.
Send "Payment receipt" to user on successful payment.

  3. Self-service to make changes to booking. Users can login securely and make changes to bookings or view payment details any time.

  4. Automatic refunds when user cancel. This depends on your configuration / setup and you may set up cut off dates.

  5. Variable pricing. For example you may configure to say

    9 AM to 3 PM -  $25 / hour
3PM to 9PM - $30 / hour

  6. Availability of multiple assets can be viewed as a consolidated view or independently. For example if there are 10 tennis courts, you may present show the courts are available for booking for a particular time if “any” court is available or you may choose to show the availability of “individual” courts.
