Adding new bookings couldn't be easier. Maybe.

This is the typical "New Booking" screen you'd see with traditional guesthouse or B&B reservation software:

This particular B&B reservation software product even goes so far as to say:

"Adding new bookings ... couldn't be easier"

I think maybe it could be a little easier. There are 26 fields/buttons on the screen, and that's before you've even recorded the guest's details, which are presumably hidden in one of the other tabs on the reservation screen.

I'm not saying there is anything really wrong with the screen. It is a normal, run-of-the-mill data-entry screen. You'd soon learn which bits of information you need to focus on and could rattle through the screen without much thinking about it. Someone using this screen all the time would probably say that it is pretty easy to use.

But is it really true to say that it "couldn't be easier"?

You could still make the process easier, right? As in quicker-and-easier?

You could do it like this, for example:

(Here, we just type the guests name, email and phone number directly into the calendar screen over the required dates. KeepMeBooked interprets what you type and separates out the guest's name and contact details and generates a new booking and new guest record for you all in a couple of seconds. You don't have to stop and think about whether you have filled out all the fields, set everything correctly, just type it all in and hit enter. Although this isn't easier for everyone.)
