Scheduling & booking

Standing groups

Recurring pods that generate sessions.

A group is a standing (recurring) pod of skaters, like "Sat AM Skills", that you don't want to re-enter every week. Groups generate sessions, take bookings, and get a health score.

Create a group

Two ways in:

  • Groups → + New group — name it, then set day/time/members on its page, or
  • When you Book ice, tick Save as standing group.

Generate sessions

On the group page:

  1. Set the group's weekday + time.
  2. Generate next 4 sessions — Carve creates the upcoming weeks, each auto-split across the group's members, in one tap.
  3. Mark the group bookable to let new families request the standing slot from your booking page.

Manage a group

Groups → tap a group to edit:

  • name, rink, weekly day/time
  • fee model + fee, ice cost, capacity
  • empty-seat rule (split among present / you cover empty seats)
  • booking visibility
  • add or remove members — new members are included the next time you generate
  • delete the group — sessions already generated stay on your calendar

Group Health Score

Each group carries a health score with recommendations — it flags a pod that's under-filled, leaking margin, or thinning out, and suggests what to do (fill a seat, raise the fee, merge). Deeper analysis lives in Profitability & economics.
