slot booking

simplified

I designed a new slot booking system where parents could choose their class time themselves, instead of getting a call from the ops team. My role included understanding the old flow, creating the new design, and making it easy to use.

THE SPARK

  1. The Problem

  1. The Problem

After enrolling in a CuriousJr course (via MLP), parents had no clue what came next. The system sent them to payment — and then... radio silence. and they wonder, “When does my child’s class start?”

There was no visible next step — only a phone call from the ops team to manually book slots. But here’s the issue:

  1. Many ignored unknown numbers

  2. Some expected automation

  3. And others forgot entirely

  1. The Objective

  1. The Objective

Let parents book class

slots directly after payment

Eliminate dependency on

ops calls

Guide users smoothly into

the learning journey

Handle Edge Cases

Limited slot availability

Retry scenarios

(if users drop off)

Dynamic timing based on

days (e.g. Monday logic)

WIREFRAMES & FINAL DESIGN

  1. What Was Happening

  1. What Was Happening

I didn’t redesign the system. I just spoke to the user. We added section as soon as user comes on the payment page.

  1. Post-PG success, user is shown a “Book Your Slot” screen.

  1. Available time slots shown, and there are three scenarios.

    • User can choose whatever date they want

  • Limited slot for particular day eg. 2 slots are available on Monday but on Tuesday all slots are available.

  • All slots are booked for Monday, then next day slots will appear. In this case Tuesday and Wednesday slot will appear.

Why It Worked

Because we did three simple things:

  • Shifted responsibility from ops → product

  • Visualized clarity at the right moment

  • Handled edge cases without making the UI heavy

Sometimes, product thinking is about catching the drop before it happens.
