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.

<li>Location-specific email notifications — each branch only sees their own bookings (Pro)</li>
