Booking PageHow many appointments can you fit?
Slots that are too short leave you rushing; slots that are too long waste the day. This works out how many fit and what a full week could earn.
Choosing the gap
The gap is time for the things that happen between customers: clearing up, washing hands, notes, payment, a toilet break, travel. A gap of zero looks efficient, and runs late by lunchtime. Start with 10 to 15 minutes and change after a week of real days.
Choosing the slot step
The step is how often a booking can start. If your shortest service is 30 minutes, use 30. If you offer 15-minute and 90-minute services, use 15, so a short service can fit into any gap. A smaller step offers more choice but can leave awkward gaps that nobody can use; watch the day plan for a few days.
Do not count on a full diary
Very few businesses fill every slot. Sixty percent booked is a good week for many. The calculator shows that figure, so you can see what a normal week is likely to earn, and decide whether the price or the hours need to change. The Freelance Rate calculator works out the price you need for a given income.
Common questions
Should I leave a lunch break?
Yes. Untick the hours or list the lunch hour as taken for each day. A break protects you from running late all afternoon.
What about walk-in customers?
Keep a few slots a day free for them by not listing those times, or by marking them as taken.

A booking link holds only what the business typed; customer names and numbers go only into the WhatsApp message to the business and never to us. It is not a live calendar: the business confirms each request. Example services, times and prices are made up. Hindi and Punjabi texts were written by us and not read by a native speaker.
