Calendar

Variable "Service Duration" for Consultants, Event Space, Meeting Rooms, etc.
Currently, there is a fixed booking duration for all calendar types. I have clients that need to give the contact/client the ability to choose how much time is booked. Imagine a consultant that charges by the hour. A client wants to book 3 hours on their calendar. Or, someone needs a meeting room or event space for 6 hours. Under "Service Duration" setting, add "variable" as an option and the ability to set parameters such as: Book up to X hours X increments (ie. in 15min increments) * There should not be a requirement to assign the meeting to a user but it should be an option (ie. meeting room booking would not need a user but a consultant would) Bonus points for variable pricing based on the amount of time they book for: $50/hour $150 for half day (4 hours) $300 for full day (8 hours) On the front end calendar: Unavailable spots are grayed out. User can drag to select available time (or click start time and end time to select everything in between) within the parameters set. Current workaround - which is very messy and inefficient. Imagine I had meeting room or event space and I want to allow someone to book in one hour increments from 1 hour to 8 hours. I need to create a separate calendar for each time duration (8 calendars total): 1 hour 2 hours 3 hours 4 hours 5 hours 6 hours 7 hours 8 hours Then, the contact would need to determine the amount of time they want to book for first, then see when that chunk of time is available. Well, what if 3 hours is ideal but I could make 2 hours work depending on the day? Now they're clicking in and out of predetermined time chunks. It's just a bad experience. Not to mention I have 8 calendars set up. What if I have 3 meeting rooms? 24 calendars just so someone can book a time range they want. Not to mention if I want them to be able to book in 15 or 30min blocks. Anyway, this seems like a relatively simple thing to implement relative to other complex features you've created in the system and I think it would go a long way in opening up new industries that could be serviced with the system.

🚨 MULTIPLE LOCATION SELECTION 🚨
This is one of the most important additions for all service-based businesses with multiple locations. The absence of this feature is one of the main reasons we are unable to close clients. For example, consider a Plastic Surgery Clinic with two locations offering the exact same services. Currently, we have to set up 2 separate service calendars and duplicate staff profiles for each location, here's an example: Location 1 Service Calender: Breast Augmentation BBL Liposuction Location 2 Service Calender: Breast Augmentation BBL Liposuction Additionally, we must set up multiple staff members for each location: Location 1 Staff: Sarah Jane Mark Location 2 Staff: Sarah Jane Mary This creates confusion, especially when staff manually try to book clients at the clinic. They encounter multiple instances of the same staff names and calendar names, making the process cumbersome and confusing. Now, imagine this process if a business has five locations—it just becomes a mess! To simplify the entire process, here's what we could do: Setup and add a switch to move between multiple locations. Enable the same staff member to be assigned to multiple locations. Create a single service calendar where you can select the desired location and staff member. On the backend, staff can easily set their availability for each location, all managed through one calendar. I have attached 5 screenshots below 2 screenshots showing how other booking platforms manage to have multiple locations and only having 1 staff member 3 screenshots of our current setup through HL, its an absolute mess with 2 locations, you can see here when staff go to book in a treatment they are met with the same service name multiple times, when they go in to view their calendar they are met with multiple service names, multiple staff names If this is built you'd be able to wipe out most booking software in one update, a true masterstroke from the HL team. I know this is going to get a lot of votes but please also drop a comment down below so HL can get this done as soon as possible!
