Customer Booking Flow

A step-by-step booking experience for your customers:

Multi-Tenancy

CR Bee is a multi-tenant platform. Each business gets its own tenant with:

  • Isolated data — your vehicles, bookings, and settings are completely separate from other tenants
  • Independent configuration — pricing, branding, payment provider, email provider

Booking Modes

CR Bee supports four booking modes, configured per tenant:

ModeHow It Works
RequestCustomer submits a booking request. You review and confirm manually.
