We have just purchased the plugin and installed it to our test site.
We are setting up a booking system for a dog daycare and training centre.
Here are the appointment settings that we are trying to configure. We need all of the different appointments to be dependant on each other.
So there is a maximum capacity of 12 dogs a day, but they can choose between, half day in the morning, half day in the afternoon of full day sessions. There are always only 12 slots available.
Please see below for a breakdown of their service appointment options and parameters.
Requirements for a dog day-care and training centre
Dog Day-care Service offered Monday to Thursday only
Service Hours:
Monday: 7.30am to 1pm
Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday 7.30am to 6pm
Services Offered
Each day there are a maximum of 12 places available for total of 12 dogs
Sessions Offered Include:
Half Day Morning from 7.30 am to 1 pm – Available Monday, Tuesday and Wednesdayonly
Half Day Afternoon from 1 pm to 6 pm - Available Tuesday and Wednesdayonly
Full Day from 7.30 am to 6 pm – Available Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday only
Staff
They do not have different staff members as everyone works together to care for the dogs.So ultimately one staff team.
Pricing
Half day daycare sessions: £25
Full day sessions: £36
We would be most grateful for your advice if you feel Amelia is possible to configure with this set up.
I believe you'll need to create 2 employees for your use case.
You'd have 3 services:
1. Half Day Morning with the price of £25, with the duration of 5.5 hours
2. Half Day Afternoon with the price of £25, with the duration of 5 hours
3. Full Day with the price of £36, with the duration of 11 hours
Then, in your employee's working hours, configure them, so your employee works only on specific services on specific days.
Since Monday can only be used for Half Day Morning, you can add the working hours like this:
"Service 1" would actually be "Half Day Morning" in your case.
Then, Tuesday and Wednesday, the employee would work from 07:30 - 13:00, assigned to "Service 1" and from 13:00 - 18:00 on "Service 2" (in your case "Half Day Afternoon"):
This covers Morning and Afternoon services.
The second employee needs to be added because of the Whole Day service. So, you would add the working hours for Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday to be from 07:30 - 18:00 for this second employee, while also assigning Afternoon service on Thursdays to Employee 1.
So, in this case, people would be able to book Morning and Afternoon, or the whole day. To achieve this, you will need to configure Google Calendar integration, and connect both employees to the same Google Calendar. When you enable "Remove Google Calendar Busy Slots" in Amelia Settings/Integrations/Google Calendar, and increase "Maximum number of events returned" to the maximum value (2.500), when someone books an appointment for one employee, the second employee would also be booked, blocking double bookings.
