hostbook

Service operations

Keep the shift clear when the room gets complicated.

Timeline planning, service periods, sections, guest messaging, staff roles, audited actions, offline awareness, and undo share the same operating context.

What changes

The system should stay understandable at the exact moment service stops being predictable.

Hosts get direct actions and readable warnings. Managers get deliberate controls, accountability, and recovery tools without slowing the room down.

Plan on a real timeline

See tables by time, drag to retime or reassign, adjust duration, and keep unassigned bookings visible.

Communicate from the booking context

Queue confirmations, reminders, late-arrival checks, waitlist-ready messages, and service-wide notices.

Fit controls to the team

Use admin, manager, and host roles with per-action policies for any PIN or manager approval.

Know when connectivity is uncertain

Surface live, syncing, and offline state, retain last-known service context, and warn about unsaved actions.
