Our plugin currently support time slot booking during one day, so if it is just renting of co-working space for a couple of hours a day, then it is possible to use our plugin for this. If, however you need multi-days booking then you should check out our new feature Events.
You can either create rooms where services are and create employee for each room (different one, so they can be bookable at the same time) and hide the employee selection with a simple CSS (we will explain later on ) or you can create each room as separate employee and create just one service to attach to each room. Just so you know each employee needs to have email, so if you don't need a separate email for each you can create with Gmail or outlook the same email with +number, and they will be seen as a different one (a would later explain you this in more details, but you should know that you need to use Gmail or Outlook).
If you create just one employee and rooms as services, that means that rooms will not be bookable at the same time, since there is just one employee that is working (one employee/rooms one working hours - multiple employees/rooms multiple working hours). That is the reason why I offer you two other workarounds: rooms as services but with several employees hidden from the front-end, or rooms as employees with one service.
Our step by step booking UI is customer friendly and simple; however, there are a lot of options that you can mix and match to organize it to suit your business in the best possible way; you can check out our documentation for all features Amelia offers, test out our demos; or you can download Amelia Lite to your site and see how it works in real time. Rooms are just an example of multiple day bookings since you know your scenario best please use our available resources to create the settings that suit you best.
I want to be able to book for full days or multiple days.
how can I change the options to be days and not hours.

If your employee email address is [email protected] you can make more employees with same email adding numbers like [email protected],[email protected]... )
And then you can use ameliabooking shortcode and on front-end you can hide with CSS dropdawn with Employees.
You can use this CSS rule on the page between style tags where you will hide Employee dropdawn:
<style> .am-select-employee-option { display: none; } </style>If you create just one employee and rooms as services, that means that rooms will not be bookable at the same time, since there is just one employee that is working (one employee/rooms one working hours - multiple employees/rooms multiple working hours).

Ok, Thank you,
so I am not booking Humans, I am Booking Dumpsters that I will deliver and drop off and then pick up.
So what in my situation I have 11 dumpsters that we can think of as employees, but not sure how we would use ROOMS...
so given this bit of information, can you tell me how I would set this up.
