The best fit is software built for time- and room-based booking, not just classes. Arketa handles per-room availability, hourly and day-long sessions, memberships and visit packs, and self check-in, so a contrast therapy studio can run its whole schedule in one system. ### Can clients book a specific room or time slot? Yes. Each room has its own availability and capacity, and services can be booked by the session, the hour, or the day. The sauna, plunge, and treatment rooms each keep their own calendar so nothing double-books. ### Can I require a consultation before clients book certain services? Yes. Gate any service behind a first visit: a client books the consultation, and once complete, booking access unlocks for the full service. Built for offerings like IV therapy or contrast protocols where someone needs to be cleared first. ### Can clients let themselves in during quiet hours? Yes, with the Kisi door access integration: a client taps check-in in your branded app and the door unlocks, with built-in geofencing confirming they're actually at the door. No key fobs, no front desk required. ### Can I sell memberships for recovery services? Yes. Sell recurring memberships, visit packs, and bundles for any service, like 8 plunges a month or a sauna and cold plunge pairing, with automatic billing and credits tracked per client.
