Try building a reservation system with [easy-appotintments]

The biggest feature is,You can choose your representativeThat's it.
This is a feature that is hard to find in other free reservation systems.

There aren't that many settings to choose from, so I was able to set it up easily even though it was in English.

However, there is English used here and there and it cannot be easily rewritten into Japanese, so this is a recommended plugin for those who don't mind that.

Translate the English parts you are concerned about into Japanese!
