The \u201cResources\u201d feature in SiteDude Booking lets businesses streamline their booking processes by managing shared assets, spaces, or equipment essential for their services. This feature helps ensure that resources such as meeting rooms, equipment, or specialized facilities are scheduled efficiently and are always available when needed, avoiding double-booking and maximizing resource utilization.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How Resource Booking Works<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

With \u201cResources\u201d each asset can be added to specific services, and assigned to employees or locations based on availability. This way, SiteDude Booking users can seamlessly align resource allocation with bookings and provide a smooth experience for clients while optimizing resource management.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For example, if your business needs a specialized piece of equipment for certain services, you can now add that equipment as a \u201cResource\u201d and set up its availability. SiteDude Booking will automatically check for resource availability before confirming a booking, ensuring everything needed for each service is ready and accessible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Resources<\/strong> feature for SiteDude Booking is considered a premium feature, and it will be counted towards your total number of Custom Features & Integrations. It is only available with the Scaling plan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to configure Resources?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Make sure this custom feature is enabled under the Features & Integrations<\/strong> tab, then click on Set Up<\/strong>. Once enabled, they will also be visible under the Services tab.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"\/<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"\/<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

This tab will show you existing resources and allow you to create new ones. When you click on \u201cAdd Resources\u201d, the following window will pop up:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"\/<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"\/<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

If you don\u2019t have Locations created, the location drop-down menu won\u2019t be visible when creating resources.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here you define the name<\/strong> of the resource (for example \u201cChair\u201d). Below that, you can choose whether the resource will be applied to the number of bookings<\/strong> or the number of people<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If the \u201cEnable Resource usage for a group booking<\/strong>\u201d slider is Disabled<\/strong>, the resource will be applied to the number of bookings, not <\/strong>the number of people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If the slider is Enabled<\/strong>, the resource will be applied to the number of people in a Group Booking<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then, you define the quantity<\/strong> of the resource.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Below, you can choose how SiteDude Booking will use the resource:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  • Quantity is shared<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 This is used if the configured resource is shared for all selected employees, locations, and services<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Quantity per service\u00a0<\/strong>\u2013 This option should be considered when you want to set the quantity of resources for each selected service<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Quantity per location\u00a0<\/strong>\u2013 This option works the same as the previous one where the resource quantity is set for each selected location.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    If you don\u2019t select anything in these drop-downs, SiteDude Booking will apply the resource to All<\/strong> services, locations, and employees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Booking a Shared Resource<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    This scenario is used in case there is a certain number of items that will be shared between all selected locations, services, and employees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    If you have a service called Paintball that is a group booking with a maximum capacity of 50 people, and 6 employees with the same max capacity, and all of them are associated with two locations, such as Paintball Field 1 and Paintball Field 2, resource management is crucial. For each session of this service, you have 50 paintball protective vests available, and you do not want to exceed that number during bookings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    In this case, you would create a resource named \u201cPaintball Protective Vests\u201d with a quantity of 50 and select the option \u201cQuantity is shared.\u201d In the \u201cServices\u201d field, select the Paintball service. In the \u201cLocations\u201d field, choose both Paintball Field 1 and Paintball Field 2. In the \u201cEmployees\u201d field choose All Employees. Make sure to check the option \u201cEnable Resource usage for a group booking.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    This setup ensures that the total number of customers for any single session will not exceed 50, regardless of the location.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    If you have 100 paintball protective vests, instead select the option \u201cQuantity per location\u201d without changing any other settings. This will ensure that the total number of customers does not exceed 100 across both locations combined.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Booking a Unique Resource<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    In case you have a specific resource that you want to limit per service or location, you can use Quantity<\/strong> per<\/strong> service<\/strong> and Quantity<\/strong> per<\/strong> location<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Quantity per Service<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    This option will assign the quantity of resources to each selected service.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Example:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Beard Trim Service<\/strong>: Suppose there are three chairs dedicated for the \u201cBeard Trim\u201d service across the barbershop. When all three chairs are booked for beard trimming, no further bookings can be made for this service at that time, regardless of other available employees. This way, only three customers can receive the beard trim service simultaneously.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Quantity per Location<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    Example 1:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Barbershop Brooklyn: Let\u2019s say \u201cBarbershop Brooklyn\u201d has three chairs (resources) available. If three customers book a slot for the same time, the chairs will be fully occupied. Any further bookings at that time will be blocked, even if other employees are available. This ensures that each customer has a chair reserved, avoiding overbooking the chairs at this location.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Example 2:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    If you have 3 different services \u2013 Epilation<\/strong>, Barber<\/strong> Trim<\/strong>, and Facial<\/strong> Treatment<\/strong> and each service is performed by a different employee, but you only have 2 rooms available, managing resources efficiently becomes essential. Ensure that Room 1 and Room 2 are created as \u201cLocations\u201d in the system.  For instance, Epilation can be performed in either of the two rooms, so you need to track which room is free for booking. Meanwhile, Barber Trim is exclusively performed in Room 1, and Facial Treatment is only done in Room 2.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    In this scenario, the resource is the epilation machine (with a quantity of one). To effectively manage this, you would set \u201cQuantity per location\u201d (Room) in the form. Then, in the \u201cServices\u201d field, select \u201cAll services\u201d. In the \u201cEmployees\u201d field, choose \u201cAll employees\u201d. Finally, in the \u201cLocations\u201d field, select both Room 1 and Room 2 as possible locations. This setup allows you to know at any time which room is available for epilation, ensuring optimal room usage and scheduling.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
