Hello! I am a big fan of Lovable, so couldn't let this challenge go by.
For this brief I was inspired by my recent experience of booking after school clubs at my son's new school. It was full of friction and back and forth exchanges, and as annoyed I was with the process, I also felt for the service provider who is likely going through the same churn with every parent trying to book an after school club.
So, for this demo I rebuilt the booking operations of a small local business called AfterBell Collective, which runs specialist clubs for 840 pupils at Hollybrook Primary School in London. It's owner Samantha used to juggle answering enqueries via phone and emails, manually confirming bookings, maintining waiting lists, chasing payments and reconciling received bank transfers by hand. And because bookings are made for one term at a time, she went through the same groundhog day thrice a year!
I rebuilt the journey from enquiry to confirmed place so that one booking confirms the spot, manages conflicting schedules and updates payment, register and dismissal records at school at once. This saves Samantha up to 100 hours a term! This is also great for parents, who can now see suitable clubs, live availability, timetable clashes and the full term cost before booking. They can add siblings, apply the correct discount and combine a club with school-run wraparound care.
For Samatha, one confirmed booking immediately updates AfterBell’s payment record, club register, capacity planning and the waiting list. The provider dashboard then handles payment reminders, private parent communications, absence checks, session information and cascading waitlist offers. Whilst it won't put her business on 100% auto-pilot, because real world complications will remain, but for most part she no longer has to hold everything together through her inbox.
Using Lovable was a breeze! Loved the free chat functionality, which saved me a lot of Lovable credits (or braintorming tokens elsewhere). I also used the built in SEO and Agent integrations functionalities to make my website more discoverable to humans (and agents too apparently). I used Elevenlabs and Descript and Capcut to make the attached video, but would have loved if there was an inhouse functionality or connectors to popular video editing websites (Elevenlabs connector was super useful!) Overall, a very enjoyable process of building. Please check out the website leave some feedback for me!
