<li>Organise resources into a <a href="https://bukza.com/questions/widget/catalog/" rel="nofollow ugc">catalog</a> with nested groups so customers can browse categories and choose what to book.</li>
<li>Display multiple resources on one calendar by switching the widget to <a href="https://bukza.com/questions/widget/group-calendar/" rel="nofollow ugc">Calendar mode</a>.</li>
</ul>
<h4>Change widget design</h4>
<ul>
<li>Choose a light or dark theme and set a primary colour.</li>
<li>For full control, edit the <a href="https://bukza.com/questions/widget/css/" rel="nofollow ugc">widget’s CSS</a> using BEM classes.</li>
</ul>
<h4>Add validation and dynamic UI</h4>

</ul>
<h4>Localize your widgets</h4>
<ul>
<li>Choose from <a href="https://bukza.com/questions/widget/languages/" rel="nofollow ugc">30 localizations</a>, or translate the widget yourself by <a href="https://bukza.com/questions/widget/text/" rel="nofollow ugc">customizing any text</a>.</li>
<li>You can also set any <a href="https://bukza.com/questions/account/currencies/" rel="nofollow ugc">currency</a>, <a href="https://bukza.com/questions/account/timezone/" rel="nofollow ugc">time zone</a>, and <a href="https://bukza.com/questions/widget/date-format/" rel="nofollow ugc">date or time format</a> to match your local preferences.</li>

<ul>
<li>Your orders can include <a href="https://bukza.com/questions/tables/orders/" rel="nofollow ugc">multiple reservations</a>, much like items in a shopping cart.

</ul>
<h4>Review orders conveniently</h4>
<ul>
<li>Preconfigure <a href="https://bukza.com/questions/tables/setup/" rel="nofollow ugc">tables</a> to display any order data columns, with sorting and filters applied for a predefined period.</li>
<li>You can also analyze your data by switching tables to <a href="https://bukza.com/questions/tables/calendar/" rel="nofollow ugc">calendar mode</a>, allowing you to view orders across any time range – working hours, a week, a month, or even a full year.</li>
</ul>
<h4>Configure employee access</h4>
<ul>
<li>Create individual accounts for your <a href="https://bukza.com/questions/first-of-all/rights/" rel="nofollow ugc">employees</a> with customized access permissions. For example, an employee can be restricted to specific tables, allowed to view or edit only certain orders, or authorized to run only specific triggers.</li>
</ul>

<ul>
<li>Integrate your own payment gateway using the <a href="https://bukza.com/questions/payments/api/" rel="nofollow ugc">Payment API</a>.</li>
<li>During the reservation process, you can charge the full amount or a partial payment, which can even be calculated dynamically based on the selected options.</li>
</ul>
<h4>Block availability on the calendar</h4>
<ul>
<li>Use rules with complex schedules, including <a href="https://bukza.com/questions/timing/early/" rel="nofollow ugc">start</a> and <a href="https://bukza.com/questions/timing/after/" rel="nofollow ugc">end</a> times that shift relative to the current moment.</li>
<li><a href="https://bukza.com/questions/resource/blocking/" rel="nofollow ugc">Block</a> availability for one resource based on reservations of other resources.</li>
<li>Automatically block time <a href="https://bukza.com/questions/timing/serve/" rel="nofollow ugc">between reservations</a> for tasks like refueling or cleaning.</li>
<li><a href="https://bukza.com/questions/timing/block/" rel="nofollow ugc">Block availability</a> directly from the manager’s calendar.</li>
<li>Enable 2-way synchronization with <a href="https://bukza.com/questions/google-calendar/setup/" rel="nofollow ugc">Google Calendar</a>.</li>
</ul>
<h4>Promote and engage</h4>
<ul>
<li>Create <a href="https://bukza.com/questions/promo/promotions/" rel="nofollow ugc">promotions</a> codes to apply percentage or fixed discounts.</li>
<li>Generate single‑use <a href="https://bukza.com/questions/promo/vouchers/" rel="nofollow ugc">voucher</a> codes.</li>
