Core product rules

1. SSBookings is the platform engine

The public retail room-rental site is a separate customer-facing domain that lists only buildings and rooms that opt in.

2. One shared booking engine

Resident bookings, owner bookings, room-panel bookings, AI email bookings and public paid bookings must all use the same room inventory and same availability source.

3. Retail availability is rule based

Buildings and rooms must opt in. Rules include utilisation thresholds, such as only offering public rentals when utilisation is below 80%.

4. Template-driven design

All pages must use shared layouts, shared components and shared CSS. Do not build one-off page designs.

5. Mobile usable

The system must work properly on phones, including camera-first room photo upload and QR-based room access.
