How is no-show protection implemented?

When a customer books, they enter their card details (stored as a Stripe payment method but not charged). If they no-show or cancel late, the deposit or no-show fee is charged automatically with a notification.

Can the booking widget be embedded on my website?

Yes. The generated app produces a JavaScript snippet you embed on your site. The widget shows real-time availability and completes the booking without the customer leaving your website.

How do staff manage their own schedules?

Stylists log in to the staff portal to view their upcoming appointments, block personal time, update their availability template, and see their weekly earnings summary.

The Challenge

Why building a Booking from scratch is hard

Building a Online Booking & Scheduling Platform from scratch requires months of development time and significant engineering resources. Teams struggle to coordinate frontend, backend, database, and authentication while managing booking-specific business logic, integrations, and role-based access rules.

What's Included

Everything your Booking needs

ProjectCode generates a production-ready Booking with all the modules your team needs from day one.

Service catalog with pricing, duration, and staff assignment

Customer self-booking via embeddable widget or standalone page

Staff availability calendar with time-off blocking

Automated booking confirmations and reminders

No-show protection: card-on-file or deposit collection

Waitlist management for popular time slots

Customer rebooking and cancellation self-service

Analytics: bookings by service, staff utilization, revenue per slot

Architecture

How it's built

The generated Booking follows production-grade architecture patterns.

React 18 + TypeScript frontend with role-based dashboards tailored for booking workflows

NestJS REST API with dedicated booking modules, DTOs, validators, and service layer

PostgreSQL relational schema with normalized tables for all booking entities

JWT + Google OAuth authentication with granular permission gates per role

Real-time Socket.IO events for live booking status updates and notifications

Managed hosting with one-click deploy, custom domain, and auto-SSL

Database

PostgreSQL schema designed for Booking

ProjectCode generates a normalized, indexed PostgreSQL schema with the right tables and relationships for your use case. You own the schema and can evolve it freely.

services (id, name, description, duration_minutes, price, category, color, staff_ids jsonb, workspace_id)
staff (id, user_id, name, services jsonb, availability_config jsonb, time_off jsonb, workspace_id)
appointments (id, customer_id, service_id, staff_id, start_at, end_at, status, deposit_amount, notes)
customers (id, name, email, phone, preferences jsonb, total_bookings, lifetime_value, workspace_id)

FAQ

Common questions about building a Booking

Yes. Customers can book as a guest with just their name, email, and phone. If they return, the system recognizes their email and suggests linking to an account for easier rebooking.
