Here is a summary of the key benefits ✨

• Modern look and feel
• All-in-one to.  Browse availability, make reservations, search and manage reservations all on the same page
• Dual-view.   See from one point of view (product) and then switch to the other view (reservation) in a second
• Get your answer in one or two clicks
• Scan around different date ranges very easily
• Drag and Drop to change reservations in an instant
• Breakdown into Hours view - see your entire day hour by hour
• Drill right down to a specific setup of filters, want to view only certain Service Offerings in a specific date range under a certain booking stage? You can.

Quick animation of how to make a reservation - go to Product View and just drag and drop the bikes & dates you want.

Full instructions here:

• make a single bike reservation 
• make a multiple bike reservation 

How to try it out - please see this link for full details

The next phase is about extending the feature set so that it does all that the old one could do.

• see the table below 'Feature Rollout'

 and then doing NEW things the old version couldn't do.  For example;

• Drag and drop changes (e.g. dates and bikes within reservations)
• Set custom searches (coming soon)
• Default category saving
• View your Service Offerings
• more default behaviour - to suit your business best

Key concepts of new version

• 2 minute 'concept overview' video ?
• there are 3 dimensions - bikes, dates and reservations.  Tell us one or two and we'll do the rest
• 2 sides of same coin.  Easy switch between product view and reservation view.
• expired reservations shown with a faded colour.
• we use chips to show what you're looking at.  Inventory chips are blue & yellow, reservation chips are green.
• Tendency for pre-population - a page is easier to understand when it has data in it.
