8. add a group.
Creating a group is very similar to setting up your personal account. Enter all the
relevant information and the group will be created.
Here’s where it becomes unique...
Members
You can invite additional people (duh, we know) to the group in Settings. You
determine whether they are able to create their own services. One thing to note is
that group ownership cannot be transferred, so if you create it, you own it!
Collections
The collections and services under each belong to the group, which means they
will appear on the public group landing page. Multiple group members can offer a
service, so a user will select a specific provider before completing the booking.
Group collections will also appear on group members’ individual landing pages.

9. know your dashboard (a.k.a. your friend).
Your queue will show your recent
incoming bookings. If you’ve set up
appointments to be pending until you
confirm, you’ll have the ability to confirm
them here.
Upcoming will show appointments in the
next few days.
Collections and Services gives you quick
access to manage your groups and
services. Click on a service to quickly edit
it.
The square gives you quick access to
view your public landing page, so you
can see what “the people” see. The gear
will take you to settings, so you can
manage your account.

by using beta, giving feedback and sharing Book’d with your network.
