Events with tickets
One-off events with ticket types, their own prices and limits, QR tickets and check-in.
Rooms, desks and equipment
Book a room whole or by the seat, and let a service need a room as well as a person.
Waiting list
When a time is full, people join a list and are offered freed places by email.
Scheduling
Hours, time off, buffers and the lock that stops double bookings.
