Uniform shops without the chaos
Parents book a fitting time that suits their family, your shop sees a steady flow of appointments, and everyone walks out with what they needed. Parent Events has scheduled fittings for hundreds of schools since 2013, and it handles the rush so your team can focus on the families in front of them.
Open the schedule
Set your fitting hours, decide how many families can book each slot, and choose how long an appointment should take. Run one day or a whole week, whatever your shop needs.
Families book their time
Parents pick a slot online and answer the sizing or special requirement questions you care about. Everything you need is captured before they arrive at the shop.
Serve without the rush
With demand spread across the day, your team keeps a steady pace and families move through without a long wait.
Spread demand across the day
Instead of every family arriving in the first hour of the first morning, bookings are spaced across your opening hours. Set slot lengths that match the pace of a real fitting, allow multiple families per slot during busier periods, or stay one-on-one when the service calls for it.
As many fitting stations as you have staff, as many slots as you are willing to open, and your schedule fills itself according to the limits you set.
Sizing ready before they arrive
Custom booking forms let you ask for sizing estimates, existing uniform pieces to reuse, house colours, or payment preferences. By the time the family walks in, the team already knows what the appointment is for and can have the right items ready.
If you only need an order form without an appointment, run the event in registration-only mode. Families submit their sizes and requirements and your shop processes the orders on its own schedule.
Siblings in a single appointment
Families with more than one child at your school do not want to book two appointments and turn up twice. A single booking can cover several students, with the booking form collecting sizing per child in the one visit.
Your team sees all the siblings together on the timetable, families get a single confirmation, and nobody has to work out which appointment belongs to which child.
Built to support your school
Fitting appointments spread demand across the day instead of a queue at the shop door. Set the length of each fitting and the hours the shop is open on each date.
Set how many fittings can happen at once to match your fitters or changing rooms. Slots close automatically once every room is taken, so the shop never overflows.
A family with several children books one appointment and covers every child in it. Sizing questions are answered per student, so nothing gets mixed up at the counter.
Ask whether the family already knows their sizes, needs a fitting, or is only purchasing. You know what stock to have ready before they walk into the shop.
Confirmation and reminder emails go out when a family books, the day before, and on the morning of the fitting. Fewer families miss their slot or arrive an hour early.
Only need an order form? Run the event without time slots and collect sizes and requirements from every family, then process the orders on your own schedule.
Families move or cancel their own fitting while bookings are open, and the slot reopens straight away. Update emails go out automatically, so nobody has to phone the office.
See how quickly fitting slots fill, which times are most popular, and how many families do not show. Plan next season's fitting week from real numbers, not guesswork.
