# Same Day Bookings

## Disable Same Day Bookings

Enable this option if you **do not** want customers to book appointments for the current day.

1. Go to **Sesami > Services > \[select a service]**
2. Check **Disable same day booking**
3. Click **Save**

When enabled, today's date will show no available slots on the storefront calendar.

## Round Up Starting Interval

The **Round-up Starting Interval** setting rounds the **next** **available time slot** up to the next selected interval.

**Options:**

* Disable — customers can book any available slot, even one starting right now.
* 5 minutes, 
* 10 minutes
* 15 minutes
* 30 minutes
* 60 minutes

For example, if the current time is **11:02 AM**, the Round-up setting adjusts it as follows:

| Round-up Interval | First Available Slot |
| ----------------- | -------------------- |
| 5 minutes         | 11:05 AM             |
| 10 minutes        | 11:10 AM             |
| 15 minutes        | 11:15 AM             |
| 30 minutes        | 11:30 AM             |
| 60 minutes        | 12:00 PM             |

{% hint style="info" %}
If you need customers to book further in advance (e.g., 30 minutes), use [Buffer Times](/booking/availability/buffer-times.md) with a "Before the First Appointment on the Same Day" value instead.
{% endhint %}

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://help.sesami.co/booking/availability/same-day-bookings.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
