What Is Bookings & Calendar in a POS System?
Booking management schedules time-based services: appointments with a doctor or stylist, rooms in a hotel, halls for events or slots on a court.
Diaries and WhatsApp chats cause double bookings and missed appointments. Advances are not linked and staff do not know their day.
SoftBar shows every booking on a calendar, prevents clashes, records advances, sends reminders and turns the booking into a bill when the service is done.
