Lunch break in schedule

I use bookings to schedule customers each workday. Every day I start work at 0800 and have 45 minutes sessions until 1630. We use a 45 min booking interval to get the most possible customers into each day.

0800, 0845, 0930, 1015, 1100, 1145..

Now here is where I got an issue. We got 30 minutes of lunch break and want the next possible schedule to start at 1215. Is this possible? Bookings seems to force a 45 min interval for the entire workday.

Current booking: 0800, 0845, 0930, 1015, 1100, lunch, 1230, 1315, 1400, 1445, 1530, 1615

What we would like: 0800, 0845, 0930, 1015, 1100, lunch, 1215, 1300, 1345, 1430, 1515, 1600

 

Regards

    This doesn’t do the trick either. Is there any other way/solution to solve this? Thank you!
  • If you set your Business Hours to 08:00-11:45 and 12:15-16:45 it should work

      This does not seem to work. It insists on using the first opening hour (08:00) and every 45 minutes forward.

        Sorry, I think I misunderstood your problem, and I have experienced something similar. I ended up setting the business hour slots to the available appointments, but you might have to lose a minute. So set Business Hours as 08:00-08:44, 08:45-09:29, 09:30-10:14 etc otherwise customers will be able to book any 45 minute slot within the period rather than at the defined start times.
