A group booking connects several people, rooms, spaces, resources, or sessions under one shared booking need.
Instead of treating every reservation as unrelated, the system keeps the group-level details connected to the individual parts. This makes it easier to manage shared dates, capacity, changes, communication, and reporting.
What Can Be Inside a Group Booking?
- One organizer or main account.
- Several guests, participants, or attendees.
- Multiple rooms, spaces, or other resources.
- One date, several days, or a repeating schedule.
- Shared capacity or allocation rules.
- Group-level and individual-level notes or requirements.
- Billing or payment arrangements when the process needs them.
How Is a Group Booking Different From Separate Individual Bookings?
| Individual Bookings | Group Booking |
|---|---|
| Each booking stands mainly on its own. | Several booking parts share one group relationship. |
| Changes are handled one booking at a time. | A group change may affect several rooms, people, or sessions. |
| Reporting focuses on the individual reservation. | Reporting can keep the group and its individual parts connected. |
How Are Availability and Capacity Checked?
The booking has to check the shared resources the group needs. A retreat group may need bedrooms, a meeting room, meal capacity, and activity spaces for the same dates.
If one required part is unavailable, the whole plan may need to change. Group rules can also set minimum or maximum group size, shared capacity, time limits, or other conditions.
Can a Group Booking Span Several Days or Sessions?
Yes. Group bookings can cover several days, linked sessions, or recurring schedules when the setup supports that model.
The important part is keeping the relationship clear. An individual session may change without losing the connection to the wider group booking.
