Booking Orbit is for appointments: a time with a person, a room or both, from a quarter of an hour to a few hours. Northwilds uses it for boot fitting and ski service in its Oslo and Bergen shops, private climbing lessons, and video calls with a trip adviser before a big trip.

## How it is organised

Each **location** is a place or an online desk of its own, with its services, staff, opening hours, customers, booking page, reminders and Stripe account. An organisation can have several, and nothing is shared between them. Read more in [Locations](https://docs.bifrostorbit.com/booking/everyone/locations/).

People, roles, billing and the sending domain for emails belong to the organisation. Admins choose which locations each person can open, under [People](https://docs.bifrostorbit.com/booking/everyone/people-and-locations/).

## Where Booking Orbit fits

Travel Orbit is for trips with dates and places for groups. Booking Orbit is for appointments with a person or a resource. The two, and the other Orbit satellites, connect under [Orbit connections](https://docs.bifrostorbit.com/booking/everyone/orbit-connections/).
