Bookings 1.8 includes a ton of new options to make your business run effectively. The following features are explained in detail:

With this release, you can now make reservations that span multiple days. Additionally, we've added the capability to provide discounts when several guests make reservations together. You can also add the time between bookings.

This review will cover the most amazing features which are available to be found inside Bookings Version 1.8.

The bookings are continued into the next day.

Prior to Bookings 1.8 until 1.8 Services with minutes or hours of duration did not have the ability to be extended between one day and the next. 1.8 includes this feature, which means you are in a position to offer overnight reservations.

As an example, suppose you manage a business that rents out party busses. You may need to provide an overnight lease (such between 6am and 11pm on the day following). Bookings 1.8 gives you the power to achieve this.

Buffering times

There are plenty of reasons why you may require an extra time period between appointments. There could be a need to run a clinic that caters to dental patients, and need ready the area for the next patient. You might need to take an interruption.

1.8 lets you set buffer times and set periods for minute, hour and day time scheduling. The buffers allow breaks to automatically fit into the daily routine.

These products with a duration of either minutes or hours may come with buffer periods that are set in minutes, giving the impression like a pre-planned program. Products with a duration of days, however, are equipped to use buffers which span the entire day.

For instance, imagine your company leases equipment, then you deliver it between clients. In order to allow yourself sufficient time between bookings in order to deliver your product to the next client you can use 1.8 to create a period of a few days between each.

Priority of availability rules

At the beginning of Bookings permitted you to establish guidelines at the global, product and resources levels. The global rules will always have precedence over the rules for products, and the rules applicable to products would be given the precedence over those for resources.

     1.8 is now offering better control thanks to the capability to set priority for rules. It is possible to set your schedule as you want it.

Offer discounts per person

In Bookings 1.8 it's possible to make coupons offering a particular quantity of discount for each person on one booking.

If, for instance, you own an escape room firm, and you wish to get customers to sign up further friends to participate and participate, then you can design coupons that offer the discount of $2 per person. For a group of four individuals choose to book an escape room and they pay $8 off. If a ten-person group of people book the mystery they will get $20 off, etc.
