Rule 13

One calendar, no double-selling

Software company Version 0.1  ·  Working Draft

The rule

Every way to book uses one calendar. Two guests can never be confirmed for the same site and night.

  1. Online, staff, kiosk and marketplace reservations all draw on the same calendar.
  2. "Confirmed" means any message that reads as a reservation, receipt or payment, even if it's cancelled later.
  3. No staff override can confirm a second guest for a taken site and night.

What this looks like

A walk-up guest pays for site 8 at the office. A minute later, someone online tries to book site 8 for the same night.

The online booking is refused.

Why

At one campground, a walk-up payment was overridden by a later online reservation. Evidence of double-selling is thin; this rule is mainly a promise that the software works.
