Wat is Group Booking?

Group booking enables businesses to offer experiences or services that accommodate multiple participants simultaneously. Unlike one-on-one appointments where each time slot serves a single client, group bookings have a capacity limit and allow multiple individuals to book into the same session.

This booking type is fundamental for fitness studios (yoga, pilates, spin classes), cooking schools, group tours, workshop facilitators, event venues, and any business that runs scheduled activities for multiple participants. A yoga class might allow 20 participants per session, a cooking workshop might cap at 8, and a guided tour might accommodate 15.

Effective group booking systems display remaining availability ("3 spots left") to create urgency, manage capacity limits automatically, handle individual bookings within the group context (each person books and pays separately), support waitlists when sessions fill up, and allow the instructor or host to view the full participant list for each session.

Group bookings often have different pricing structures than individual appointments. Early-bird pricing, package deals (buy 10 classes, get 1 free), membership rates, and tiered pricing based on group size are common approaches.

Addagio supports group booking with configurable capacity per session, real-time availability display, individual participant management, waitlist functionality, and flexible pricing options. Businesses can create recurring group sessions (e.g., the same yoga class every Monday at 9 AM) with automatic capacity management for each instance.
