Suggested booking questions: How many people? · Do you need to hire a drum kit or amps?
One account holds one diary, so a studio with three rooms runs three event types — one per room — rather than one with a capacity. It works, and it keeps each room independently bookable.
One event type per room#
Studio A, Studio B, the small room. Each independently bookable, each with its own price. A booking in one never blocks another, and the name can carry what matters: "Studio A — drums, PA, 25m²".
No buffer, on purpose#
Most trades need a gap. You do not. Leave the buffers at zero and set Show start times every to sixty minutes so bookings sit flush against each other.
Paid at booking#
It is the difference between a reservation and a booking. A twelve-hour refund window is generous enough for a band that loses a drummer and tight enough to resell a Saturday.
One hour’s notice#
People book rehearsal rooms on the way to them. A short minimum notice fills hours that would otherwise be lost.
