From Day 1 to Now – The Journey of Our New Booking System! 🚀
Following up on our last post - we wanted to give you a peek behind the scenes of the work that went into creating our shiny new booking system.

Our vision for the system was simple. Honestly, that’s kinda it 😅 We wanted the form to be super easy to use, nothing overwhelming or complicated when it doesn’t need to be. And, of course, we wanted to keep it true to Bad Habit’s classic minimalist branding—retro buttons and those iconic label-maker fonts!

For the techies who are interested: the platform is build in Go utilises the Stripe Payments API. We decided not to use a frontend framework in this iteration, but we might change our minds on that. What you can see is just the customer panel - but to be honest the bulk of work was done on the admin panel which is where we manage bookings ourselves. But I guess that’s only really useful for us … 🙃

Big thanks to Drew for his input from day one! His experience with other systems helped us figure out what worked and what didn’t before we ever launched.

What started as a “Hello World” is now available to you all, and we hope it works a treat! 🎉
