Basic

I run technical workshops and BookyWay allows me to set capacity limits for each course, preventing overbooking.

For technical classes, where we often need specialized equipment, knowing exactly how many participants are attending in advance is crucial, and this app ensures I’m not oversubscribed.

Reporting features are still quite limited; more detailed analytics would help me optimize scheduling.

Owner

I manage the timetables for an exercise club and it would help if I could just copy the whole week's timetable to the next week, rather than add classes one by one.
