What is Variable Booking Duration?

Variable Booking Duration is a flexible booking management tool that allows venue owners to adjust the duration of guest stays based on group size and session type. 

This feature is particularly useful in customizing the guest experience and optimizing venue operations. For example, you can tailor the length of a booking to size of the group or the time of day. You can even let customers pick the length of their visit.

Why is Variable Booking Duration Helpful?

  • Being able to auto adjust booking length based on size allows for better operational efficiency in venue and avoid situations where guests have stayed longer than expected and tables aren't ready.
  • Special events, days and times can have completely different booking durations with just a few clicks, making it very easy to set up a shorter lunch session or an event where people are going to stay much longer.
  • You can optionally display not just the start time but also the end time of a visit directly on your form and emails, which sets expectations up front and avoids guests staying longer or feeling pushed out.
