Stays and date-range bookings: nights, not just 45-minute slots
Guesthouses, rentals and multi-day holds need check-in to check-out. Planoora range bookings sit next to appointments in the same Store.
A salon grid cannot express “Friday to Monday”. If you force a stay into hourly slots, you get broken nights, overlapping guests and a team that still uses a paper folder. Hospitality, equipment on a multi-day rental, and some retreats need a date range: a start, an end, a unit.
Planoora treats range bookings as a native type alongside time slots and events. The Store is one operations brain. The consumer app is how a guest finds the stay and then books the rest of the trip in the same place.
What the guest should see
Available nights, the unit or room, the price for the stay, house rules, and checkout that can take a hold or payment. Not a “message us for the calendar”. Tourists will not wait. Greek plus English (and more) on the same Store matters here more than anywhere.
Mix the stay with the week around it
The value of Planoora for a guest is not only the bed. It is the boat resource on Saturday, the spa slot on Sunday, the event ticket in town. Range booking plus appointments plus events is how a long weekend becomes one plan instead of four vendors.
For the host, those extras can be your own Store services or other partners the guest finds in the app. You are not forced to become a full tour operator to keep the stay in a serious calendar.
Operations that hotels already know
Turnover time between guests is a resource problem: the unit is not free at 10:00 if checkout is 11:00. Put units on resources or as stay inventory so two ranges cannot overlap. Keep the same no-show and deposit logic you would use for a peak Saturday night.
Store-link bookings from people who already know you stay at 0% platform fee. App discovery is for empty weeks, not for taxing your returning families.
FAQ
Is this only for hotels?
No. Apartments, rooms, boats on a multi-day hire, studios for a weekend production: anything that is booked as a range of dates rather than a clock time.
Can I still sell hourly services at the same property?
Yes. Time slots and ranges live together in Planoora Store. That is how a guesthouse with a spa or a rental with add-on experiences stays in one calendar.
