	Group bookings is useful when you need your customers to be able to book appointment or reservation for many individuals at the same time. This Custom Feature creates a selection menu with the number of participants in the group. With this Custom Feature you can also use [[Special:MyLanguage/~~Custom_Features#Accept_Payments~~ \| payment custom feature]] at the same time so that the total payment for all participants will be paid in one payment at time of check-out even though only the group leader/organizer is registered. If you are using [[Special:MyLanguage/~~Custom_Features#Service_Add~~-~~ons~~ \| Service Add-Ons]] feature, number of items will also be multiplied to the number of participants selected.
