Combining Daily Bookable Services: Is It Possible?

Hi ​@DavidFoxx 

Yes, you could combine the two daily services into one, while it comes with a few questions to think about:

• Differentiation of the day vs the evening package would be on rate level.
• Default Check-In and Check-Out time are set on a service level, so you would need to update them after each booking (or externally automate this)
• Occupancy percentage will be calculated based on the time period you set on service level and might be off with your calculations
• Sellable products could not be differentiated between the day and the evening package

Not sure if those points would have an impact. I would recommend to try the setup first in Demo to see the effects before implementing in Production.

If you need help with the setup, custom automations around or the migration of the reservations let me know.

Best, Marc

Hi David,

You could also achieve this with one bookable service using a thorough set of restrictions potentially for an hourly service that essentially is rated at a certain amount per hour that equals the total cost, and this can be managed in rates:

Essentially you restrict the available arrival times, minimum number of hours and departure times to different hours on different dates all under one bookable service. See here under step 2 ‘Configure’ How to create an hourly service booking engine in Mews Operations by closing certain hours to arrival and certain other hours to departure; you can also combine rate restrictions for different periods of time - so you'd say on a Monday you can only Arrive at 11am and depart at 6pm, but on a Friday - Sunday its only 11am for 5 hours or 4pm for 5 hours.

The only aspect here is that you cannot set half hourly times, only hourly, I believe.
