Hello,

Yes, there are a couple of ways you can handle gear rentals on a weekly basis using Amelia. You’ve identified two possible methods:

In this setup, each piece of gear can be treated as an employee. This way, you can:

• Create an "employee" profile for each gear item (e.g., Bike #1, Kayak #2).
• Assign services (e.g., weekly rental) to each "employee."
• Set availability based on the gear’s schedule (if it’s only available certain weeks).

This method is useful if you want to keep track of individual gear availability and avoid double bookings.

Alternatively, you can create a single service (e.g., "Weekly Gear Rental") and set the capacity to match the number of gear items available for rent. For example:

• If you have 10 kayaks available, set the capacity to 10.
• When a customer books a gear rental, the capacity decreases by one.
• This is simpler to manage if you have many items of the same type.

If your gear inventory is diverse and each item needs individual tracking, use the employee per gear method. If the items are identical and you just need to manage the total quantity available, go with the service with capacity option.

Let me know if you need help setting this up or have further questions!
