Mobile Reservations System...ideally WP Plug In

Mo · 14th Feb 2012, 02:36 PM

I need a wordpress solution to replace the booking system on this site.

It has a multi drop down menu which allows a number of combinations from a 'menu'.

Do you know of anything, WP plug ins for example, that might do the job?

The nearest thing I found is 'Appointy' but it doesn't quite do the same thing...

They are just drop down boxes. You could probably do the same thing with a form and a little coding to link everything together and make the boxes populate based on what was selected in the previous drop down boxes.

I would post this question in the programming section of this forum as well. You might get someone there who could help.

Thanks WillR - great idea

It's for Salons! Gotta be blonde friendly!

One of the best solutions to setup and handle appointments may be a SMS texting solution, an appointment reminder and text scheduler. Also I do not want to force a promotion on you, especially my own product, but if you PM me I can show you how to do this through a different mobile site or point you to a video you can watch to achieve your appointment booking need, maybe.

Thanks Qreek

I'm moving clinents away from SMS and onto apps messaging.

SMS costs every tims - apps are on time setup cost.

I'd rather give thema solution that saves them money and make me look great than sell them a 'pay every time you send msg' service

Plus...they want on online booking system on thier mobile site

They may cost every time but they work with almost every cell phone out there. How big of a hero will you be when they see that you are cutting off many more people than those that will be able to use an app. And that's if you are going to make 3 apps or more - iPhone, Android (many flavors) and Blackberry. Smartphone penetration is still well under 50% and many of those are older than the 3 mentioned above so will not work with your appS. However, text messaging works with over 98% of the cell phones in use in the US.

I personally think you would be better looking at what they are doing now and showing them how to use it more efficiently.

Edit: Another good option is to use the program found here:
http://www.warriorforum.com/warrior-...ine-check.html
It is very well done and supported and you could replace his website, provide him with a mobile site (which is a must in the restaurant business) and it has built in online ordering. The complete package. I would, however, still have them using Text messaging as it can provide so many other advantages for their marketing.

They must already have a booking sheet or system setup? There's no need to complicate things. Just have the booking form send the details to their email and they can enter them into the booking system, they already have. This would be more than enough for a small-medium salon. They would be doing the same if taking the booking by phone so it's not that big a deal.

I agree with WillR here about using email to integrate with their existing appointment booking system but if you absolutely must have the plugin you could try:

Plugins - JS-Appointment calendar reservation manager | CodeCanyon
or
Plugins - Js Hotel booking system | CodeCanyon
