Seminarhof Drawehn
Booking operations for a seminar house
A 23-room house that rents itself out whole, to groups, by the week.
A seminar house in the Wendland. Yoga retreats, choir weekends and therapy trainings book the whole place for a few days and bring their own programme. The platform replaces a shared Excel workbook and a lot of email: an enquiry arrives from the public site, an admin approves it into a booking, a nightly sweep chases the contract and the deposit, and the kitchen cooks from the participant list.


Gebaut für Menschen mit Namen, nicht für Jobtitel.
Bevor irgendetwas gebaut wurde, hat jemand die späteren Nutzer namentlich aufgeschrieben. Jeder bekommt ein echtes Konto, und vor dem Livegang wird jeder Screen aus der Sicht jedes Einzelnen durchgeklickt.
Sarah
Administrator
Runs the enquiries and the calendar.
Christina
Owner
Runs the money and still issues the real invoices through DATEV.
The organiser
Client
Fills in the binding booking form from a link, never a login.
A stranger
Public enquirer
Asks whether the house is free, with no account and several candidate dates.
Ein Meilenstein nach dem anderen.
Die App entstand in Schritten, und jeder wurde abgestimmt, bevor die Arbeit daran begann.
- 1
The public enquiry
The only availability question the public side answers is whether the house is free that week. Nobody books room 12 for a night.
- 2
Enquiry triage
An admin approves, waitlists or declines. Approval is what creates the booking and the client.
- 3
The binding booking form
The organiser fills in the form that legally commits them, reached by a link rather than a login.
- 4
The nightly lifecycle sweep
One idempotent daily pass that chases the contract and the deposit and ends finished bookings.
- 5
The participant list
Every person in the group as a row, with the diet and allergy detail the kitchen cooks from.
- 6
The deposit and the invoice
Recording that the deposit landed is what confirms a booking. The rest mirrors DATEV rather than replacing it.
