Item POS – Event & Party Booking System

I led the product strategy, UX, and feature development for the Item POS Booking System, a full end-to-end scheduling and reservation platform designed for events, experiences, and private group bookings.

This POS is used by customers and on-site staff to streamline event scheduling, manage capacity in real-time, and process payments for hourly or package-based experiences.

⭐ What the System Does

 

1. Real-Time Calendar & Availability Engine

The booking interface displays:

  • Live availability across days, weeks, and months

  • Color-coded capacity indicators (Available, Sold Out, Online Closed)

  • Automatic synchronization with on-site POS and online bookings

  • Smart throttling to prevent overbooking

This ensures customers only see accurate available slots.

2. Session & Time Slot Scheduling

Once a date is selected, users can choose from dynamic time slots such as:

  • 10:30 AM

  • 11:00 AM

  • 11:30 AM

  • 12:00 PM, etc.

The system accounts for:

  • Event duration

  • Prep and cleanup time

  • Maximum participants per session

  • Staff availability

3. Smart Ticketing & Capacity Control

The platform supports:

  • Per-event capacity limits

  • Group booking size control

  • Ticket quantity selection with pricing updates

  • Auto-blocking when capacity is reached

Capacity is updated in real-time across all devices.

4. Payment Integration

After users select their event, date, and ticket quantity, the system moves them to:

  • Secure checkout

  • Multiple payment options

  • Instant confirmation

  • Email + SMS receipt automation

5. Staff POS Mode

Employees can:

  • Create walk-in bookings
  • Override capacity when approved
  • Reschedule or refund customers
  • View daily/monthly booking logs
  • Monitor revenue from each session
