I am sorry to disappoint you, but unfortunately, something like this is not possible with the plugin's built-in features, but I can advise you the rooms workaround that might work for you:
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.
If you have any more issues or questions feel free to ask, we will gladly help.
Hello Stanislav. I hope all is well with you and thank you for the reply. Thanks for the work arounds but im a bit confused.
1. How and where would I create a room? I actually asked this question on another tickets months ago about a room and resource feature like my old company (acuity scheduling) offered but the person I talked to at the time said this feature didn't exist. Is there any videos or docs on how to create a room? I understand the category and service types but have never seen any documentation about rooms. Also I understand the css part as well.
2. Doing either one of the room options you suggest eliminates the need for the schedule. So it turns the service into more of a product than, correct?
I wrote rooms because the workaround I suggested, is usually used to book rooms that have no employees and allows you to hide the choice of employees while booking. By rooms, I mean services.
There will be a schedule anyway and it's impossible to remove it.
Like I mentioned before your wants are not possible to achieve with the plugin's built-in features, but probably can be done with some custom work, we can recommend this service for customization:
Hello again Stanislav. Ok got it. Thanks so much for all of your help. Actually already have a customizer in mind. Just wanted to see if this was possible using the regular functions before I went to the next step. Thanks again.
If you have any further questions or issues, please feel free to open a new ticket, and we'll gladly help.
My apologies if I already asked this before, but may I ask you for a small favor if you don’t mind?
Can you, please, leave a review on the Lite version of Amelia if you have an account at wordpress.org and have a couple of minutes? No need to write any specific text.
If it's not too much of a trouble, an additional review on Capterra would be greatly appreciated!
It’d mean a lot to us, and as a token of our appreciation, we would like to offer you a $10 credit for SMS notifications.
Hello Kiki,
Thank you for reaching out to us.
I am sorry to disappoint you, but unfortunately, something like this is not possible with the plugin's built-in features, but I can advise you the rooms workaround that might work for you:

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:
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).

Have a nice day!
