Buffer times

Sometimes, you do not want to have bookings made back to back. In Sesami, you can add buffer times before and after appointments or even before the first appointment of the day.

*You will see the buffer time in the Admin Calendar after the booking is created. Buffer time won't be shown in the Online Store calendar.

To do so, simply navigate to:

• Sesami > Services
• Choose a service by clicking on Manage
• In the section Buffer Time. The options here include:
  • Before each appointment.
  • After each appointment
  • Before the first appointment on the same day.
    • Example:
      if you want your customer to book 24 hours in advance, this means 1440 minutes (1 day).

Fixed Time 

If what you are looking for is a fixed time schedule with pre-built buffer times that are not dynamically generated, then you will need to add in your availability manually as intervals. For example, if you wanted to have a thirty-minute service and a mandatory 15-minute break in between those set time frames, you can enter it in your availability as follows:

• 9:00 am to 9:30 am
• 9:45 am to 10:15 am
• 10:30 am to 11 am
• etc
