Understanding the Guest and Staff experience
The Guest can view the product (e.g., Kayak Rental) when booking, but the Staff assigns the assets behind the scenes via the Daily Manifest (Booking > Daily Manifest > Assign).
For example, your Staff can determine what size of kayak, kayak paddles, and life jackets Guests need during check-in.
