When a Customer Asks You to Delete Their Data: How TempahKu Handles PDPA Requests
Customers can download their own booking history or request it deleted — straight from their booking page, verified by phone. A deletion request doesn't execute instantly: a confirmation email, a review by the TempahKu team, and financial records get anonymised for tax rather than erased. Owners get a one-action export of their whole business's data too.

A clinic with more than one vet shares a single booking channel for everyone — nothing locks a pet to the same vet across an ongoing treatment.

Car Workshop Booking System: Bay Capacity, Not Guesswork

Room Occupancy: Who Is Actually In Tonight

Restaurant Table Booking: Count Tables by Class, Not by Name
Saturday night, one table written twice in the reservation book. Why promising "table 7" three days ahead is the cause rather than the cure, and how TempahKu counts tables by class and turn — so a diner only picks a party size, and the real table is chosen when they walk in.

The Restaurant Floor: When a Party Arrives, Who Knows Which Table Is Free?

Staff Attendance: When a Forgotten Clock-Out No Longer Turns Into a 23-Hour Shift
A staff member forgets to clock out after a night shift, taps the wrong button the next morning, and the record shows a 23-hour day that never happened. How TempahKu caps a forgotten session at closing time, flags it as an estimate, and gives owners a real way to fix a wrong record.

Staff Shifts & Rosters: Booking Capacity That Follows Who's Actually On Shift
