Most booking platforms are built for one shape of business. Calendly does 1-on-1 appointments. Acuity does small-business hours. Square does brick-and-mortar retail. The moment your business is something else — a taxi company, an event venue, a photography studio, a coworking space, a travel agent — you're either fighting your tool or paying for a custom build.
Orkestr is what happens when you start from the question: what's the smallest set of primitives that covers every bookable shape?
The primitives
The first ones we settled on were:
- Offerings with attributes (capacity, address, hourly/day price)
- Availability rules (open hours, slots, exceptions)
- Pricing rules (base, peak, surge, discounts)
- Bookings that link customer → offering → time → payment
- Tenants so the same primitives run for every business under their own subdomain and brand
These primitives shouldn't look impressive. They're not the work. The work is making them composable enough to run a taxi company and a yoga studio without either of them feeling like a hack. We spent the first year just on that.
