Feature

# Capacity & lead-time rules

Encode cut-offs, minimums and group sizes once — bookings that don't fit your operations simply can't be made.

Set advance purchase windows, minimum participants, maximum group sizes, and combination rules to reflect how you actually run tours, tastings, or rentals. The booking engine enforces these constraints everywhere—your site, OTAs, and manual bookings—blocking invalid requests and guiding staff with clear messages.
