Guest Pickable Booking Durations, Ideal For Board Game Cafes

How Does it Work?

Customer pickable durations let your customers select exactly how long they want to book your venue or service. You define the available time options (1 hour, 90 minutes, 3 hours, etc.), and customers choose what works best for them during the booking process. This puts control in their hands while ensuring you maintain the right scheduling structure for your business.

This feature maximises your revenue potential by making the most efficient use of your space. When customers who only need shorter sessions identify themselves upfront, you can accommodate more bookings throughout the day instead of blocking off standard longer periods unnecessarily. For example, if your default booking is 2 hours but half your customers only need 60 minutes, you could potentially double your daily capacity—turning eight bookings into sixteen with the same resources and staffing.

Particularly valuable for entertainment venues like board game cafés, escape rooms, and activity centres, this system lets you link deposits to duration, charging appropriate amounts based on how long customers will occupy your space. 

The booking calendar handles all the complex scheduling automatically, ensuring bookings never overlap while giving customers the flexibility they crave. It's the perfect balance between customer choice and operational efficiency—they get exactly the time they need, and you increase daily revenue without the administrative headache of managing variable-length bookings manually.
