Next Open is the appointment booking plugin designed specifically for businesses that operate across multiple locations. Whether you manage 2 clinics or 36 salons, Next Open lets customers book appointments at the right location, with the right staff, at the right time — all from a single booking form on your WordPress site.
Most booking plugins treat multi-location as an afterthought. Next Open was built around it from day one. Each location gets its own business hours, holiday calendar, staff roster, and time slot configuration. Customers pick their location first, then see only the availability for that specific branch.

<li>Each location has independent schedules, staff, services, and holidays</li>
<li>One shortcode powers all locations — no duplicate pages needed</li>
<li>Location-specific email notifications — each branch only sees their own bookings (Pro)</li>
<li>Lightweight and fast — scripts only load on pages with the booking form</li>
<li>No monthly fees — one-time purchase for Pro, free version is free forever</li>
</ul>
