Scenarios

These are not reviews or someone else's numbers. They show how a day goes in the workspace in three typical cases.

A barbershop with two branches

Several specialists, some of them work at both branches.

How it was

Bookings kept in a messenger and a notebook
Specialists mix up which branch they are at today
In the evening the administrator calculates percentages by hand

How it works in BookDo

Each specialist has their own services and a day-by-day schedule: one branch in the morning, the other after lunch
In the form the client picks a branch and sees only those who work there
On the spot the client asks for one more service: the administrator adds it to the booking, and the time is checked automatically
The booking is marked as completed, and the payment is recorded in the branch's cash register

What you see at the end of the day

Money for each branch
What each specialist earned, broken down by booking
Which clients did not show up

Houses and apartments for short-term rent

Several properties in different districts, listings on listing sites.

How it was

A calendar in a spreadsheet
Double bookings when a guest from a listing site and a direct guest picked the same dates
Prepayments checked against chat messages

How it works in BookDo

Each property has its own price and calendar
Listing sites and BookDo exchange booked dates through a link
The guest books through a link: picks the dates, sees the total and the prepayment
The booking is held while it awaits payment, then it is confirmed

What you see

Occupancy for all properties on one screen
Which bookings are awaiting payment
Income for each property and district

Outings and tours

Scheduled sessions, some seats are sold through sales services.

How it was

Seats counted by hand
Orders from sales services copied into a shared list by hand
Before departure the guest list is pieced together from messages

How it works in BookDo

Sessions are created with a number of seats and tickets at different prices
The client picks a day in the calendar, then a time and tickets
Orders from sales services come in automatically and take up the same seats
Before a session you open it in the calendar and see all the guests

What you see

How many seats are left for each session
Where the booking came from: link, sales service, entered by you
Total for the session

Check it against your own scenario

Add a couple of services or properties and send the link to yourself.
