Let customers choose a person
A specific practitioner, provider or returning favourite can remain part of the appointment choice instead of disappearing behind an anonymous slot.
Let customers request a practitioner by name, choose from people eligible for the service or return to their usual person. Watson connects each staff profile to approved services, languages, leave status and live availability before offering a time.

A specific practitioner, provider or returning favourite can remain part of the appointment choice instead of disappearing behind an anonymous slot.
Service, branch, language, booking status and availability determine who can be presented for the selected appointment.
The chosen staff member stays with the customer record, calendar entry, deposit status and reminders around the booking.
Watson knows who does what, offers a staff member only for the treatments they actually perform, and books returning regulars with their usual person.

“Book me in with my usual”
Watson remembers each regular's person and books them by default.
Staff selection should not stop at a profile card. Watson checks the practical conditions behind the customer's request, then offers the person only when the appointment is workable.

Alia · Sports rehabilitation · Saturday 2:00 PM
The selected staff member remains attached to the confirmed appointment and customer history.
Watson sells your people. It books your staff by name, introduces them from the bio you wrote, and never offers someone for a treatment they don't do, so every booking feels like booking with your team.
