Future Enhancements

Automated Seat Reset

  • Daily Seat Reset Cron Job: In the future, we plan to implement a cron job within the application that will automatically reset and empty all seat bookings at the end of each day. This feature aims to streamline the seat management process, ensuring that seat availability is refreshed daily, providing a fair and efficient booking experience for all users.

This feature is in the planning stage and will be a key update to further improve the functionality and user experience of the UnstopBackend service.
