🔍 What You’ll Find in the Calendar

The Calendar view is designed to give you an instant, intuitive snapshot of your venue’s daily activity. Here’s what you’ll see:

• All sports and courts across the top row Each column corresponds to one of your facilities. These courts follow the names the venue operator has given to them.
• Hourly time slots along the vertical axis This gives you a clean hourly breakdown, so you can easily identify prime-time hours and available slots.
• Color-coded reservations
  • Purple: Normal single bookings made by users via Thril app
  • Yellow: Recurring reservations
  • Blue: Manual reservation made by a venue operator
  • Grey: Court blocker (For maintenance etc.)
• Customer and sport tags

Each reservation card includes the customer name and the sport they’re booked for. This way everything is transparent and easy to manage.

🧠 Optimize for Utilization

Here’s how you can use the calendar view not just for management, but also for insight and optimization:

• Spot quiet hours instantly Dark, empty areas = unused hours. Use this info to offer promotions or partner deals during off-peak times.

• Track recurring patterns Recurring bookings in yellow make it easy to identify your loyal customers and peak time blocks.

• Monitor booking activity The bottom right corner has a panel which gives you a quick utilization percentage (e.g., “15 reservations | 12 customers | 35.6% utilization”). Aim for that number to grow by actively managing your venue through marketing. Check out Thril's tool for newsletters!

• Empower customer service The quick-view cards and detailed pop-ups give staff the tools to answer questions, resolve conflicts, or shift bookings on the fly.

📌 Pro Tips for Calendar Power Users

• Use the "Select multiple slots" tool when booking complex events across courts.
• Click on any reservation to modify, cancel, or inspect its metadata (e.g., payment status, customer contact).
• Encourage your recurring customers (clubs, trainers) to create their own recurring reservations as they’ll show up automatically and are easier to manage than manual entries.
• The reservation details popup has all the information needed about the reservation. You can open it by clicking the reservation to ensure payment, sport tag, and customer data are correct.
