Book Equipment/ Court Bookings Setup

This article shows tutorial steps on How to create Tennis Court Bookings, Massage Beds, Swim Lanes, Pickleball Court bookings, and similar setups using the Book an Equipment/ Court Booking module.

 

1. How to Create a Resource

Resources are a digital representation of the courts, pools, rooms, studios, etc. which the clubs offer to its members to attend classes, lessons, clinics, and much more.

SHC Software offers a great representation and easy setup of the Resources to amplify the user booking experience on the Mobile or Web app. 

The tutorial below shows how a Resource can be created on the SHC platform.

 

2. How to add a Layout to a Resource

Layouts represent the structure of the Resources the club offers. A layout helps make spots available to select and book through the app.

A layout can be of multiple types depending on the Resource, such as Tennis or Pickleball courts, Swim Lanes, Massage beds, or a Pilates room.

 

3. How to create a Service

6. How to add Buffer time/Equipment preparation time for Services

  • Buffer time/Equipment preparation is a particularly useful feature for Massage Rooms or a similar setup. The Buffer time allots a specific amount of time after the completion of a service and during this time bookings cannot be made.
  • This is particularly useful in a situation where a Massage room has to be set up after the completion of a massage service so that the Massage room can accommodate the next client.
  • You can set the time period you want to be the Buffer time for different departments by doing the following:
    1. Open the Web App
    2. Click on Create > Company
    3. Select the Book A Service Provider Policies
    4. Set the time period next to the Equipment Preparation time option.

 

On the Availability calendar, the buffer time will be automatically added post every booked appointment, it will be shown as an orange block.
