VenueX is a rental venue booking app that allows users to easily find and reserve event spaces. While the app supports multiple venues, this project focuses on Nova Hall, a community space managed by Sandra.
"I currently use a paper calendar to manage reservations, but it can lead to double bookings, misplaced information, and limited access when I’m not with it."
-Sandra, Manager
