Tip: tap any empty cell on the board to add a guest right into that bed.
Think of this like a hotel front desk. Down the left are your beds, grouped by room. Across the top are dates. A guest's stay shows as a colored bar that runs from their check-in to their check-out. Your job is to give every guest a bed for every night.

In the left panel under Guests, pick a type, type a name, set the check-in and check-out dates, and click Add guest.
Set the dates before placing them so the bar is the right length.
Three ways, whichever you like:
Click any stay to edit that guest — name, dates, arrive/leave times, email, phone, and dietary notes — or to change their bed. To take someone out, click the × on their bar, or drag the bar to the “take them out” box.
Grab the left or right edge of a stay bar (the handle) and drag. The left edge moves check-in; the right edge moves check-out. The dates inside the bar update as you drag.
When someone needs to move beds partway through:
Each piece shows its own dates, a leg number (1/2, 2/2…), and dashed edges. A piece you move into a bed shows where it came from (↩ old bed) and the piece it leaves shows where it's headed (new bed ↪). Hover any piece to outline all of that guest's pieces so you can follow the switch. If a piece is removed and leaves nights with no bed, the Issues bar flags the gap.
Change sheets: whenever one guest leaves a bed and it's reused, a small change sheets marker appears at the handover so housekeeping knows to strip and remake it. The bottom row totals turnovers per day.
House Open / House Close: the first day anyone arrives is flagged House Open and the day the last guest leaves is flagged House Close in the date header — those days have their own opening and closing procedures.
Click the small + note under any date to add a reminder like “July 4 – Independence Day” or “cleaners 10am.” Click an existing note to edit or clear it.
Each guest has rough Arrives and Leaves times on their card (morning, afternoon, evening…). Click Meals in the toolbar to see, day by day, who is eating breakfast, lunch, and dinner at the house.
The planner guesses attendance from those times — someone arriving in the evening is counted for dinner, not breakfast. On a couple or family, each person can have their own arrive/leave time. Click any name to flip whether they're eating in (faded = out), and use + what's cooking? to note the menu. The bold count at the top of each meal tells you how many to cook for.
Share read-only makes a single file you can text or email the family — it shows who sleeps where with no risk of them changing anything. By person flips to a simple list. Plan (.csv) opens in Excel. Print prints the current board.
The strip under the toolbar watches for problems: guests with no bed, missing or backwards dates, beds over capacity, and split stays with an unassigned night. Green means you're all set.
