The business
“Baan Sabai” · Thai massage studio with five therapists
- 4 cabins: 1 double cabin, 1 with steamer
- Foot massage area with 3 chairs
- 5 therapists from Thailand
- Reception in German and Thai
Typical problems
Herbal compress without a steamer
Only cabin 2 has the device. Online the herbal compress got booked into every cabin.
Couple's massage in a single cabin
The double cabin is one of four. Online nobody knew.
Foot massage blocks a cabin
Foot massage runs in the chair area for three guests – in the calendar it still took a cabin.
“Gentle or firm?” in Thai
Every therapist asked pressure, oil and complaints anew, and the answer should be readable in Thai.

How a booking goes
Mr Keller books a herbal compress, Ms Lin a foot massage.
- Mr Keller picks “Herbal compress 90”.
- Questions: pressure “medium”; he leaves the notes empty.
- Therapist “any” – the calendar only shows times where cabin 2 with the steamer is free.
- Confirm. The e-mail arrives in German; the team sees the answer labelled in Thai.
- Ms Lin picks “Foot massage 45”: the chair area has room for three – even if two guests are already seated.
- On her next visit her pressure is already in the form.
What the team sees
Calendar: “Keller · Herbal compress 90 · Cabin 2 · น้ำหนักมือ: medium”. The guest record shows favourite oil and notes; “Referred via” tells the studio where its guests come from.
Frequently asked
How does the couple's massage get two therapists?
A booking has one employee. Online booking occupies the double cabin correctly; reception enters the second therapist as an internal appointment.
Can field names and answers be in Thai?
Yes. Field names and choices are free text in any language – Thai, German or mixed.
Why doesn't the foot massage occupy a cabin?
Because it needs the resource type “Chair area”, not “Cabin”. The area has capacity 3.
Does the software message guests via LINE?
No. “Referred via” is a field for reception. E-mails go out in the guest's language.
