### Out of the group chat

Court bookings used to live in a WhatsApp group, updated by hand whenever a guest asked at reception. Now guests book online in three taps, and staff see every reservation in one calendar.

### Building The Standard's tennis booking

Booking the tennis court at The Standard used to mean a WhatsApp group. A guest asked at reception or stopped a member of staff, someone posted a message, and anyone who wanted to know what was still free scrolled back through the thread. It depended on people remembering to post, and there was no single view of the day.

We [shaped the product](https://opulon.org/services/product-strategy) around two people: the guest who wants to play, and the person on the desk who used to type the messages. Then we [designed](https://opulon.org/services/ui-ux-design) and [built](https://opulon.org/services/web-app-development) both sides.

For guests, a booking is three choices: a date, court only or a private lesson, and a time. Slots run for sixty minutes and start on the half hour; anything already taken or already past is greyed out, so two bookings cannot land on the court at once. The court is free for guests, a lesson is priced on the spot with a link to the lesson bundles. The confirmation lists the details and what is included, and one tap adds it to a Google or Outlook calendar.

For staff, there is an admin dashboard: a calendar of every booking across the coming days, each showing the type, the guest’s name and their villa number, plus a list view and settings.

That group chat is no longer how the court gets booked. Guests reserve their own time, at any hour, and the team sees every reservation in one place.
