Among half a dozen of booking plugins, times-lot has been evaluated as the best choice for our small online+face-to-face company activity, and we enjoy using it: + Doing well the job with all essential features, as advertised, easy to configure. + An excellent clear and sound documentation for non expert installation. + A rather cheap and clear price (no complex price “scarfolding”). + The plugin internal php code is really well written up to our best expertise. +++ The development team is really kind and super reactive and effectively helping.Merci beaucoup 🙂
