How to Set Up Power Booking

Power booking: this is a feature that lets you book an appointment during another appointment while your other client is processing. 

Appointment Padding: This is a feature that lets you add a 10/15 minute time slot after appointments that require clean up time. 

Set the Length! 

Click the teal “Power Booking/Padding (beta)” link

Power Booking

  • Length: This is the time it takes for the initial service ONLY. For example: If your service is “color” you would mark the “Length” as 60 min (the initial time spent applying foil to a client) then add in the processing, finishing, and clean up times after
  • Processing: This is the times you have available while your client is waiting (i.e. hair color is setting)
  • Finishing: This is the time you will be back with your client completing the service (i.e. taking foils out, blow dry)
  • Clean Up: This is the time you set aside to clean up in preparation for your next client

For example if someone booked this service at 10:00am it will block off 30 minutes then make 30 minutes available then block off 30 minutes to finish up and 15 minutes to clean up. Here is what a client trying to book an appointment would see:

So if they wanted to book a service with you at 10:30am that is only 30 minutes or less they could still book it even though another client has booked a service at 10:00am that lasts over an hour!
