Bookings Use Case: Fishing Lake Rental (Example with Shared Resources)

Scenario

James has a lakeside cabin that people can rent for a fishing trip. It can accommodate 10 people at any time. He wants to create three available time slots:

• Availability A: 7:00 am to 7:00 pm
• Availability B: 7:00 pm to 7:00 am
• Shared Resource Availability: 24-hour slot of 7:00 am-7:00 am

If someone books Availability A, the availability blocks need to be decreased both for Availability A and Shared Resource Availability. If someone books Availability B, the availability blocks need to be decreased both for Availability B and Shared Resource Availability. If someone books Shared Resource, the availability blocks need to be decreased for all three.
