Lunch break in schedule
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.
This works, thanks for the feedback!
However, it seems that the disadvantage of this solution is that you must also change the time of the activity to 40 minutes, which is also shown on the order page. It's not ideal, but I fixed this by adding time to the names of the service.
Thanks for the thread, I just had my first attempt of setting up the Bookings for our in-house massage therapist and had the same issue - we need 30 min sessions, 5 minutes inbetween them, and one 15 minute lunchbreak. Ended up creating 34 minute "business availabily" slots starting every 35 minutes (longer break for lunch), 30 minute "service" without buffer time and "time increments" 5 minutes. Seems to work perfectly, even if it's a PITA to create.
