Creating Service Menus for Your Booking Calendar
What Is a Service Menu?
A Service Menu lets you display multiple appointment services on a single booking page. Clients can browse and book different services—each tied to its own calendar—without leaving the page. This is ideal for businesses offering varied services or working with multiple providers.
Benefits of Using a Service Menu
- Unified Booking Experience: Clients see all available services in one place.
- Optional Staff Selection: Allow clients to choose their preferred provider when enabled.
- Organized Service Groups: Use calendar groups to categorize related services.
- Independent Calendar Settings: Each service maintains its own availability, duration, pricing, and staff assignments.
- Flexible Booking: Clients can book one or multiple services in a single session.
Before You Begin
Ensure you have:
- At least one Service Calendar created and configured.
- A Calendar Group to organize your service calendars (only calendars in a group can be added to a Service Menu).
