 # Booking App
 
-This project is a booking management application built with Next.js.
+## About
 
-## Getting Started
+This application is designed for reserving rooms at the 370J Media Commons Room.
 
-Follow these steps to run the application in your local environment.
+## Deployment
 
-### Prerequisites
+We employ GitHub workflows for our deployment process.
+Any merges into the main branch automatically trigger a deployment to the production Google App Script.
+We employ GitHub workflows for our deployment process. Pushing or merging to different branches will automatically trigger different Google App Script deploys:
+- `main` branch: triggers the DEVELOPMENT deploy, which serves from localhost and reads/writes the development calendars
+- `staging` branch: triggers the STAGING deploy, which serves from the GAS project and reads/writes the development calendars
+- `prod` branch: triggers the PRODUCTION deploy, which serves from the GAS project and reads/writes the **production** calendars
+The `NODE_ENV` environment variable controls where we serve from, and the `CALENDAR_ENV` environment variable controls which calendars we use. These values are specified in the `package.json` commands triggered by the workflows
 
-- Node.js (version 18 or later)
-- npm (usually comes with Node.js)
