The jobs this software has to finish
The Weight Limit Awkwardness
Guest outside weight range books tour. Shows up. Can't ride. Embarrassing conversation. Refund needed. Bad review probable.
Weight range displayed clearly at checkout. Custom field: 'I confirm I am between X and Y lbs.' They acknowledge before paying. No surprises at check-in.
The Training Time Confusion
Tour starts at 10am. But training takes 20 minutes. Guests arrive at 9:55. Training pushes tour late. Rest of day's schedule cascades.
Communicate arrival time vs. tour start clearly. 'Arrive 9:30am. Training 9:30-9:50. Tour departs 10am.' Confirmation email reinforces. Guests arrive with buffer.
The 10-Year-Old Who Can't Ride
Family books. 10-year-old excited. Your minimum is 12. Parents frustrated at check-in. Partial refund mess. Vacation ruined.
Age requirement displayed prominently. 'Minimum age: 12 years.' Parent acknowledges during checkout. Confirmation email restates. No check-in surprises.
The Balance Concern Guest
Guest has balance issues they didn't mention. Nervous during training. Can't complete it. Can't ride. Now what?
Physical requirements stated at booking. 'Must be able to stand unassisted for 2 hours.' Acknowledgment required. Those with concerns can contact you before booking.
The Waiver Paperwork Pile
8 guests. 8 waivers. 15 minutes of signatures before training even starts. Tour runs late. Every tour runs late.
Digital waivers via Smartwaiver sent at booking. 'Sign before you arrive.' Check who's signed. Follow up with those who haven't. Waivers done before they walk in.
The Over-Capacity Booking
You have 8 Segways. 9th person books. You're counting manually and lose track. Now you're short equipment.
Capacity limit per tour. When 8 are booked, that time slot shows unavailable. No manual counting. System enforces the limit.
