Using events calendar for Child Care centre

[Mike]

Hi,

I was looking at using Events Calendar for child care centre to manage inquires for places available. It would need to accept inquiries for vacant places and pass them on as a booking request. But not actually block out the date.
It would also be nice if it could hold the number of available places / available time-slots.
Is this something it could do?

Hi Mike,

Thanks for checking out our plugins!

Using Event Tickets, you can accept RSVP-style reservations for events, and you can set the number of available tickets. Each time an RSVP is submitted, it will reduce the number of available tickets by one, but it will not block out the event. Once the available quantity has been reached, no more RSVPs can be submitted, but the event will still be visible.

With Event Tickets Plus, you can sell tickets and add additional fields to tickets, which will let you collect more info from potential attendees when they reserve the ticket (these tickets can also be free, you do not have to charge for them). You have the ability to set the available quantity with this type of ticket as well.

The following articles have some more info on how tickets work and some of the features that are available with Event Tickets and Event Tickets Plus:

New User Primer: Event Tickets and Event Tickets Plus

Settings Overview: Event Tickets and Event Tickets Plus

Managing Your Orders and Attendees

I would recommend installing The Events Calendar and Event Tickets (both free) on a test site so that you can see how they work. If you would like to take Event Tickets Plus for a test run as well, we do offer full refunds within 30 days of purchase, so feel free to do so!

Please let me know if you have any questions!

Thanks,

Jennifer
