FAQs

Can Rec handle different facility types and pricing structures?

Yes. Rec’s system supports custom facility types, amenities, and pricing rules. Rec also allows for automatic discounts so your policies are applied consistently without manual work.

How does Rec help reduce double bookings and scheduling errors?

Rec’s real-time calendar eliminates the risk of double bookings. Once a pavilion is reserved, it’s immediately blocked out on calendars. Built-in audit trails and communication logs make it easy to track every reservation and change in real time.
