Set buffers and processing time

Who can do this: You need to be an owner, admin, manager or developer to do this.

Buffers

A buffer is time blocked before or after a service, for example to set up a room, clean a table or write notes. Clients can’t book it or see it, and it isn’t part of their appointment.

1. Choose Services in the sidebar and open the service.
2. Enter Buffer before (minutes), Buffer after (minutes), or both.
3. Choose Save service.

Processing time

Some services have a gap in the middle where the client waits and the person doing it is free, such as while a colour develops. That person can be booked for something else during the gap.

1. Open the service.
2. Tick Has processing time.
3. Enter when it starts in Processing starts after (minutes), and how long it lasts in Processing lasts (minutes).
4. Choose Save service.

The client’s appointment still lasts the whole Duration (minutes).
