A moment from studio life.

Recall the previous visit before saying hello.

A mother books her younger child's Omiyamairi with a new email. Dad booked their eldest child's Shichi-Go-San. Their recollections help staff compare earlier records and link the new booking to the same family.

What this makes possible.
01

Only ask what they remember.

Optional first visit, returning visit and unsure answers. Customers can add the earlier booking name, approximate timing and occasion without having to remember every detail.

02

Look beyond current contact details.

Find records by relatives, previous booking names, emails and phone numbers. Compare family members with recent completed sessions.

03

A thoughtful link, confirmed by staff.

Confirm the family with the customer before linking this booking. Keep the primary contact and booking recipient intact while connecting family history, care notes and postal booking checks.

Questions & answers

Before you bring it to your studio.

What if their phone or email changed?

Search relatives and names or contact details saved on earlier bookings. Staff use the recalled name and session details to confirm the right family.

Are families automatically merged?

No. Matching details provide suggestions. Linking requires an explicit staff confirmation and never merges separate customer records.

What if they cannot remember?

They can choose unsure. All details are optional, and a missing record never proves a first visit. Staff can confirm later.
