FAQs

Can Rec support both instant booking and request-to-book?

Yes — Rec is designed for your busiest days. Our platform handles hundreds of concurrent users without performance drops, thanks to enterprise-grade infrastructure.

How do you stop people from abusing booking systems?

We require dual-authentication (email + phone verification) and let you set custom rules for booking limits per user.

How does Rec handle scheduling conflicts between sports?

Rec’s real-time scheduling grid automatically blocks off associated courts when one is booked, so if tennis is scheduled, connected pickleball courts are marked unavailable.
