I use the amelia plugin to book a room. I would like to offer a reservation: by the hour by the half day by the day
by defining a time page from 9am to 6pm for the reservation I can offer the rental by the hour by the day without problems.
For the half day I would like time slots 9am-1pm and 2pm-6pm
the plugin offers me (9am-1pm / 10am-2pm / 11am-3pm / 12pm-4pm...)
If I add a break from 1pm to 2pm to the employee the half-day reservations are fine as I would like them to be but the reservation by the day becomes impossible.
Thank you for reaching out! I understand that you want to offer room reservations by the hour, half-day (9 AM – 1 PM and 2 PM – 6 PM), and full-day (9 AM – 6 PM) while ensuring the system handles these time slots correctly.
Since adding a break from 1 PM to 2 PM helps with half-day bookings but prevents full-day reservations, I recommend the following approach:
Create Separate Services:
One service for hourly booking (set minimum and maximum duration accordingly).
One service for half-day booking (set fixed time slots for 9 AM – 1 PM and 2 PM – 6 PM).
One service for full-day booking (set duration to 9 AM – 6 PM).
Set Employee Availability:
Keep the employee available from 9 AM – 6 PM without a break.
Ensure each service has the correct working hours and does not overlap incorrectly.
Use Different Pricing & Buffers If Needed:
You can apply different pricing for half-day and full-day services.
Add buffer times if necessary to prevent overlap.
This setup should allow customers to book by the hour, half-day, or full-day without conflicts. Let me know if you need further assistance!
