What is it
Each room in Booquela has two optional fields:
- Purpose - what the room is suited for (e.g., portrait sessions, podcast recording)
- Restrictions - what clients cannot do in the room (e.g., no food, no pyrotechnics)
Both fields are visible on the public room page. They help clients quickly assess whether the room fits their needs.
How clients see it
Purpose
Displayed as colored pill badges in the main section of the room page. Clients see them right below the description - one of the first things they look at.
Restrictions
Appear as an amber warning box near the booking button. This ensures clients are aware of them before making a reservation.

What to avoid
- Vague descriptions - "Various sessions" says nothing. Be specific: "Portrait sessions", "Product photography".
- Duplicating categories - if the room category is "portrait", don't write "Portrait studio" in purpose. Write about specific session types instead.
- Long texts - purpose has a 100-character limit per item, restrictions 200. Keep it concise.
- Negative tone in purpose - purpose should say what CAN be done, not what cannot. That's what restrictions are for.
Well-filled purpose helps clients find your room even if it doesn't appear in search filters. Clients often look for specific session types and scan room pages for them.
