Durations and buffers per service
Each service has its own length and optional buffer afterwards. The buffer blocks the calendar but is invisible to the customer.
Appointment scheduling software
An appointment is more than a time on a calendar. It has a length, a person doing the work, clean-up time after, and days when that person is off. JustBook models all of that, so the times customers see are times you can honour.
A 20-minute consult and a 2-hour treatment cannot share one grid of hourly slots without leaving gaps or causing overruns.
Not everyone does every service, and everyone has different days off. A shared calendar cannot tell a customer who is actually free.
Without time to clean up or write notes, a small delay in the morning becomes a late afternoon.
You describe how your business works. JustBook turns that into the exact times customers can pick.
Each service has its own length and optional buffer afterwards. The buffer blocks the calendar but is invisible to the customer.
Business opening hours, plus personal hours and time off for each staff member. Customers choose a person or "any available staff".
Lunch, a supplier visit, school pickup. Block an hour for one person or the whole business and those times disappear from your page.
Stop last-minute surprises with a minimum notice period, and cap how far ahead people can book.
Customers see duration and price upfront, then pick a staff member or let the system find the earliest opening.
Only times that fit the full duration plus buffer, inside working hours, with no clash, are offered.
Bookings confirm instantly, or arrive as requests for you to approve. You decide per business.
Two therapists, each with their own days. First assessments take 60 minutes and follow-ups 30, with 10 minutes after each for notes. One therapist is away every Thursday afternoon.
With those rules entered once, patients see only valid times for the therapist they choose. The front desk stopped maintaining a spreadsheet, and the Thursday mistakes stopped with it.
A calendar records what you already agreed. An appointment system lets customers book themselves, and applies your rules on duration, staff, buffers and notice so the times they see are always valid.
