The jobs this software has to finish
The Non-Swimmer Surprise
Guest books snorkel tour. Can't swim. Guide discovers this in the water. Safety risk. Tour disrupted for everyone.
Ask swim comfort at booking. Custom field: 'Swimming ability: Strong / Moderate / Weak / Non-swimmer.' Flag weak and non-swimmers. Guide knows who needs extra attention or flotation.
The First-Timer Panic
First-time snorkeler panics with face in water. Claustrophobic response. Can't continue. Their day ruined, group affected.
Ask experience at booking: 'Snorkeled before? Yes / No.' Flag first-timers. Guide offers shallow practice before deep water. Nervous snorkelers get extra attention.
The Equipment Sizing Mess
Tour group: petite woman, large man, 8-year-old. Equipment sizes span entire range. Pulling and fitting at the dock.
Collect sizes at booking for all participants. 'Height, shoe size.' Children flagged for kid-size gear. Equipment pre-staged by manifest.
The Seasick Guest
30-minute boat ride to snorkel site. Guest gets seasick. Their experience ruined before they even get in the water.
Mention boat duration in tour description: '30-minute boat ride to site.' Ask: 'Prone to motion sickness?' Confirmation email suggests medication: 'Take seasickness medication 30 minutes before.'
The Photo Package Miss
Underwater photos are the highlight. Some guests want the package, some don't. You're missing upsell revenue.
Photo package as add-on during checkout. 'Add underwater photo package ($X).' Guests who want it buy it. You know who's expecting photos before the tour.
The Weather Site Change
Primary site has poor visibility. Secondary site is clear but further. Schedule shifts. Guests expecting something specific.
Weather policy in confirmation: 'We may adjust snorkel sites based on conditions for best experience.' When you change sites, email guests: 'Conditions better at [alternate site]—we'll head there instead.'
