Service Menu Overview (Scheduling, Rooms, Equipment)
The Service Menu is a centralized page to list all your services in one streamlined scheduling link. Imagine neatly categorized services, making navigation a breeze. What's more, your clients can access this menu to seamlessly book multiple services for themselves or even for their guests, all through a single booking widget.
The Service Menu displays the chosen Service Calendars. A Service Calendar is a tailored calendar type created for service-based businesses. In this calendar type, users can create different services, assign staff, group them together by categories, and display all of them in one single scheduling link - the Service Menu.
For example, a salon can have Hair services like ‘Hair Cut, Hair Spa, and Hair Coloring’ under the category Hair, whereas Skin services like ‘Facial, Clean Up, and Bleaching’ under the category Skin. The clients can then choose the services they want and schedule their appointments seamlessly.
With a Service Menu, you have the tools to optimize your service-based business like never before. Here's what you can achieve:
1. Create Calendars for Each Service:
- Easily set up a dedicated calendar for each service you offer
- Assign staff members to these service-specific calendars
2. Organize Calendars into Categories:
- Group your calendars into categories, simplifying navigation
- Choose which groups / services to display on the scheduling page
- Create a centralized booking widget for all your services. No more navigating through different calendars and becoming overwhelmed
3. Streamline Booking for Clients:
- Clients can easily book multiple services or schedule appointments for multiple people from one booking
- They can also select their preferred staff member while booking an appointment
- Clients get important information related to the duration, cost and assigned staff member for each appointment

What are Rooms?
What are Equipment?
- Create Rooms and Equipment:
- You can create rooms used by your business and maintain a list of available equipment. These can be tailored to your specific needs.
- Associate with Service Calendars:
- Link these rooms and equipment to your service calendars. This way, each booking will automatically reserve the required rooms and/or equipment.
- Avoid Double Bookings:
- When handling bookings, the system will consider both user availability and the availability of rooms/equipment. This helps prevent double bookings not only with staff members but also with rooms and equipment.
