Availability mode
Our appointment system is equipped with three different booking algorithms options each one has a different method to calculate the availability at your salon.
Choose the one the best fits your needs, in 80% of the cases the "Advanced" option is the optimal one. Let see them in detail.
Basic
The "Basic" method considers only the date/time of an reservation and its default duration that you can set from the "Average session duration" option in the same settings tab. Use this option only if the real duration of each reservation it's always the same or it's not so important.
Example:
- Haircut
- Shampoo
- Colouring
You have set the "Average session duration" option as "30 minutes". Hence this reservation will ends at 9:30 where a new reservation will be available.
Another reservation made of:
- Haircut
- Shampoo
Advanced
- Haircut - 30' duration
- Shampoo - 30' duration
- Colouring - 45' duration
The "Advanced" method will calculate the total duration of this reservation that is: 1h and 15' so it will ends at 10:15
Hence the next available slot will be at 10:15
High End
- the date and time of the reservation
- the duration of each service
- the "execution order" of the booked services ( that you should set for each of your service )
- the assistants choose in the reservation and the services that each assistant will provide
