So, I have a website that has rooms that are booked out by hourly slots.
At the moment I have to assign an employee to a room, however because its always the same employee, the room then gets booked (even if you book another room).
Do I have to create a unique employee per room to ensure this doesn't happen? If there is a better way around this please let me know.
Example:
Pool room 1 books from 6-8pm
Pool room 2 room wants to be booked from 6-7 pm
Because I've assigned the same employee, pool room 2 cannot be booked.
Our plugin currently supports 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-day booking then you should check out our new feature Events.
You can either create rooms where services are and create an employee for each room (a 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 a separate employee and create just one service to attach to each room. Just so you know each employee needs to have an email, so if you don't need a separate email for each you can create 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.
Thank you for that. So basically if I have 5 pool rooms, it's easier to create 5 employees and assign them to each room, am I correct in understanding that right?
My apologies if I already asked this before, but may I ask you for a small favor if you don’t mind?
There are a few places with reviews about plugins that really matter to our future customers.
It'd be awesome if you could leave a review on all three websites, but I know that may be too much to ask, so can you, please, leave a review at least on one of these websites:
If you have a couple of minutes, we would really appreciate it! No need to write any specific text.
As a token of our appreciation, we would like to offer you a $10 SMS credit for each review as long as you provide us with the link to your review or a screenshot (Capterra, for example, goes through a verification process and it takes a day or two before the review is visible).

Hello Dervis,
Thank you for reaching out to us.
Our plugin currently supports 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-day booking then you should check out our new feature Events.
You can either create rooms where services are and create an employee for each room (a 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 a separate employee and create just one service to attach to each room.

If your employee email address is [email protected] you can make more employees with the same email by adding numbers like [email protected],[email protected]... )
And then you can use the ameliabooking shortcode and on the front-end, you can hide with CSS dropdown with Employees.
You can use this CSS rule on the page between style tags where you will hide the Employee dropdown:
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.

Hi Uros
Thank you for that. So basically if I have 5 pool rooms, it's easier to create 5 employees and assign them to each room, am I correct in understanding that right?
Is that the easier option out of the two?
I have tried to hide the employees but it is not working. Am I doing this wrong?

Is there any update to this please? I want to push live asap
Hello Dervis,
You can hide the Employee field on the Amelia/Customize page.
