Here’s an example of a Flowchart that represents a simple workflow for a reservation system, illustrating key steps in the booking process.

Explanation of the Workflow:
- Start: The process begins when a customer initiates a reservation.
- Enter Details: The customer provides reservation details (e.g., date, time, resource).
- Check Resource Availability: The system verifies if the requested resource is available.
- If available, the workflow proceeds to payment.
- If not available, an error message is displayed to the customer.
- Proceed with Payment: The customer completes the payment process.
- Confirm Reservation: The system confirms the reservation after successful payment.
- Send Notification: A confirmation message (email/SMS) is sent to the customer.
- End: The workflow concludes.
