Book it, buy it, order it, and see what happens behind it.

Ten made-up businesses, each with its own website, each taking bookings or orders through Axle. Use them the way a customer would. Beside every site, a panel follows you through the booking and says what Axle is recording as you go. One shows the other side of the counter: the salon desk behind Hollis Hair Co.
