Calendars & bookings

Book by service and staff member

If different people (or rooms, chairs, machines) offer different services, set them up once and OrcaFlo books the right person for the right amount of time. Customers can ask for anyone available or for a specific person, on WhatsApp and on your [booking page](/help/booking-page).

Set up your team and services

1

Open Staff & services

In Appointments, expand Staff & services and click Add staff member.

2

Hours, breaks and days off

For each person, type their hours per day, like 09:00-13:00, 14:00-18:00 (the gap is their break). Leave a day empty when they’re off. Add holidays or leave under Time off.

3

Their own calendar (optional)

If they have their own calendar in your connected Google account, choose it under Their Google calendar. Their bookings go there, and their other events block their times.

4

Add services

Click Add service: name, how many minutes, a buffer after (time to clean up or write notes), price, and tick who can do it.

Staff & services: two staff members with weekly hours
Appointments → Staff & services.

How customers book

On WhatsApp, the assistant knows your services, prices and who does what: “A consultation with Dr Omar tomorrow evening?” → it offers only Dr Omar’s free times and books him. Ask for anyone, and it offers every open time, choosing whoever is free.

On your booking page, customers pick a service, then “Anyone available” or a person, then a time.

Booking page with services, a staff choice and open times
Service → person → time on the booking page.

Good to know

A person is never booked twice at the same time, and the buffer after each service is kept free.

Reminders mention who they are seeing: “Reminder: your Consultation with Dr Omar is tomorrow at 7:00 PM.”

Reports → Team shows bookings per staff member (upcoming, attended, no-shows, canceled, value).

If you don’t see this in your panel yet, email support@orcaflo-panel.com and we’ll switch it on for your business.

Questions

Yes. Add them as staff with a title like “Room 2” or “Laser 1” and their available hours, then tick them on the services that need them.
