I co-own a soft play area.

The government has now allowed us to re-open, however with a long list of restrictions, including one limiting capacity.

The cleaning requirement also means shutting down every two hours for a full clean, which means changing the business to operate in two hour sessions.

I am therefore looking for an online booking system which would let customers reserve a spot in a particular session. The spec list is:

i) Should work with Facebook, this is by far and away the way to reach most of our customers
ii) Should not cost a lot, our average spend per head is relatively low compared to a restaurant so something like Open Table is likely to be too expensive
iii) Ideally would take a deposit / advance payment to avoid no-shows

Can anyone suggest anything? The Facebook 'appointments' system nearly does what I want but not quite

Do you have a website, I'd host a solution and then point FB to it
