I work for a school district and the district is starting to allow parents back into the building to have lunch with their child(ren). However, the district is only allowing 20 parents a day during lunch. I am hoping Glide has a way to create an app for parents to sign up for a slot. Here are some of the details I am looking for with the app: 1. a max of 20 slots per day. Once 20 slots have been reached, that day is removed or not available. 2. only allow parents to view 5 days in advance. We do not want a parent or parents to reserve a slot for the next month or 2. 3. an admin side of the app. This way the front office can see a list of parents that have reserved a slot for the day. 4. a way to collect some information from the parent. email address, cell number, child’s name and grade level 5. a way to send a reminder of the time slot, with the lunch time of the child. for example, if the parent has a 3rd grade child, then the reminder would have the lunch time of the 3rd grade lunch time. any help would be appreciated. I think an app like this will help other school districts that are slowly lifting COVID restrictions. Thanks. ---

Hola, I think [my APP](https://book-us.glideapp.io/) can be useful for you. Of course, I’d have to modify some things to get what you want (e.g.: only allow 20 parents per day) but it’s doable, I think I won’t have headaches for it 🤕 By coincidence, yesterday I wrote about it here: > [@How would you approach this dilemma for a booking app](https://community.glideapps.com/t/how-would-you-approach-this-dilemma-for-a-booking-app/19528/19): > > Hola @Lisa ! I know it’s an old topic but I wonder if you could improve your logic and APP or gave up? I created my own version for these kind of APPs and I could simplify the logic and amount of columns. Of course, I used JS code through some Experimental Code columns to get it. Try to do it using the Glide’s conventional tools is a nightmare and a mountain of work. I can understand @ThinhDinh perfectly when he stated “… if someone asks me to build that thing again I would never say yes” … I hope it helps you. Saludos ---

Hi Rex, We’ve built a few similar apps to this, with email/text reminders. There are some examples here: [Jesus Vargas • Expert • Glide](https://www.glideapps.com/experts/jesus-vargas) Here: [https://blog.lowcode.agency/](https://blog.lowcode.agency/) And here’s a public app that has reservations and email notifications that we built: [https://nappsworld.app/](https://nappsworld.app/)
