Features

The Hut Booking System is fully featured! Here’s a list that tries to list the top level features and functions. There are more, please just ask what you want, it’s likely the system already does what you need! And, if it doesn’t, we’re always looking to make the system more useful so it’s likely that great suggestions for new features will be added at no cost! 😀
