# Reservations

Reservations turns any bookable thing your business offers — hotel rooms, boat
and jet-ski rentals, golf carts, dental chairs, service bays — into a single
booking workflow. Every booking moves through a clear lifecycle you can see at a
glance on a board.

## What you get

- **A bookings board.** Every reservation is a card that moves through
  *Requested → Confirmed → Checked in → Completed*, with a *No-show* lane for the
  ones that don't show.
- **Resources.** Describe each bookable thing once — its capacity (how many you
  have), how it's booked (by the day, by the hour, or in fixed slots), operating
  hours, and price.
- **Customers.** Every booker's contact details, with their full booking history
  on one page.

## How it fits your business

| Your business | A "resource" is… | Booked by… |
|---|---|---|
| Hotel / short-stay | A room type | The night |
| Boat / jet-ski / cart rental | A pool of identical units | The hour |
| Dental / medical office | A provider's chair | A 30-minute slot |
| Service shop | A bay or a staff member | The hour |

## Take bookings from the public

Reservations includes a **public booking portal** so your customers can book
without signing in:

- Open the **Booking Portal** page in the app to find your shareable booking
  link (copy it, put it in your bio, email it, or link it from your website).
- Customers open the link, pick a resource and a time, and book in a few taps —
  if a slot is full they're told to pick another.
- Every booking lands on your board automatically.
- Each customer gets a personal link to view or cancel their reservation;
  cancelling frees the slot for someone else right away.

### Put it on your own website

You can drop the booking form straight into your existing site. On the
**Booking Portal** page, copy the embed snippet and paste it into your page's
HTML — it drops in an inline booking form. First add your site's domain under
**Settings → Embed Domains** so the browser is allowed to show the frame;
without that, the embed stays blocked. Bookings made through the embed behave
exactly like the hosted link.

## Getting started

Install Reservations from the Marketplace. It arrives pre-loaded with a sample
marina-and-wellness business so you can see the board, resources, and customers
working together — then clear the samples and add your own.
