Parent & Child Reservations
Parent and child reservations are a useful feature if you want to split your reservations into smaller reservations. Or group reservations in a certain way.
This can help you optimize your planning by allowing you to specify what you need for parts of the reservations.
Sample use case where a client books an appointment for a treatment for an hour.
Appointment at clinic Amsterdam between 10:00 - 11:00
Intake - 10:00-10:15
Intake room 1 + Support Staff
Medical treatment - 10:15 - 10:45
Treatment Room 2 + Doctor Staff
Recovery - 10:45 - 11:00
Resting room 1 - no staff needed
