Hello,

Thanks for your question.

Bookings currently doesn't have group reservations as an option but we are working on it. You can vote for it in our UserVoice channel.

While we are working on that, there is a workaround for this, although it requires multiple steps.

For each time slot for your classes you would create 12 staff members (you can use free Outlook.com accounts for those staff members) and assign them to the class (or service), so that once all 12 are booked, no one else can register for that class. Each staff member could be named: Seat 1, Seat 2, etc.

I hope this helps!

Gabriel_Valdez Thanks for sharing the workaround but I have a minor concern. How can I set in the service configuration that once the staff has been selected by someone else, it will no longer be available for the others once the booking has been completed for that specific staff.

Scenario:
Limit 35 slots only per day with 35 staff members to choose

Once a staff is selected, it cannot be selected again by another person trying to book on that same day.

Thanks in advance!
