Bring People With You

A mother books a manicure for herself and adds two daughters to the same slot. A couple schedules massages together. A friend group books a hair appointment as a unit. Without a way to model this, you either turn them away or create three separate, disconnected bookings. Bring People With You captures the relationship cleanly.How it works during bookingWhile booking a service, the customer sees an option to add companions. They enter each companion's name (and optionally email, phone, age, special requests). All companions get added to the same appointment record, sharing time, location and staff context.Smart configurationPer-service rules: Some services allow companions, others don'tMaximum companions: Set a cap per booking (e.g. up to 5 people)Companion pricing: Each companion adds to the total — flat fee, percentage, or freeRequired information: Choose what data is mandatory for each companionCapacity check: System verifies the staff/space can actually handle the group sizeUse cases that shineBeauty and wellness: Mother + daughter manicure, couples massage, friend group spa dayHealthcare: Parent bringing a child, family member assisting elderly patientTours and activities: Single payer booking for a group of friendsFitness: Couple buying a joint training sessionPhotography: Family portrait session with several subjectsWhy this mattersCustomers don't think in transactions — they think in occasions. "Spa day with my sister" is one occasion, even if it's technically two services. The system that models that correctly converts better, looks more professional, and avoids the awkward "please book separately" moment that kills momentum.
