Choose an app when return visits matter
Loyalty, field teams, and repeated booking habits benefit from an icon on the home screen and push notifications.

Start with the job, not the platform
Map the job: book, pay, check in, update stock, approve a request. Then pick the lightest surface that does that job well.
Common questions
- Are apps better for bookings?
