Assign services to a staff member
Only services with a check next to a staff member show up when the customer picks that person.
Not every barber does colour, not every stylist does beard trims. Booked filters the public page to the intersection of "services this shop offers" and "services this staff member has ticked".
Steps
- Open Dashboard → Staff and open the person's row.
- Find Services they do & pricing.
- Tick each service they offer. Untick the rest.
- Save.
Price and duration per person
The same panel takes an override on both numbers. Leave them blank and the service's own price and duration apply; fill them in and this staff member's version of that service is different.
This is how a shop handles a senior stylist who charges more, or an apprentice who takes longer, without splitting one haircut into three services that clutter the public page. The customer sees the right number once they have picked a person.
Overrides apply to new bookings. An appointment already in the diary keeps the price and duration it was booked at.
How it appears to customers
- If the customer picks a service first, the staff picker shows only staff who have ticked it.
- If the customer picks a staff member first, the service list narrows to what that person offers.
- A staff member with zero ticked services does not appear on the public page at all.
That last one is the tidy way to handle a receptionist or a manager: they exist in the shop, they can be assigned bookings from the calendar, and no customer is ever offered them.
There is no bulk assign
If you add a new service that everybody offers, you have to tick it on each staff row. It is the one genuinely tedious screen in Booked, and there is no way around it today.
Worth doing straight away rather than later — an unticked service is invisible to customers for that person, and the symptom (a stylist who "has no availability") looks like an hours problem rather than a tick box.
