Days

Definition​

The "days" service type is designed for long-term bookings, such as guest houses, hotels, vacation rentals, and other accommodations where reservations are made for one or more full days. This service type operates on a calendar-based system rather than hourly schedules.

Key Features​

  • Bookings are made in full-day increments
  • No working hours required; service is available every day by default
  • Availability is managed through closing periods rather than schedules
  • Supports multi-day reservations
  • Pricing is typically defined per night or per stay

Availability Management​

Unlike other service types, "days" services don't rely on working hours:

  • The service is considered available on all days by default
  • Unavailable periods are defined using the resource closing periods
  • Closing periods can be set for maintenance, renovations, or seasonal closures

For detailed information on managing closing periods, please refer to the Resource Closing Periods section in the documentation.

Booking Process​

The booking process for "days" services typically involves:

  • Selecting check-in and check-out dates
  • Specifying the number of guests (if applicable)
  • Choosing additional options or amenities (if offered)

Pricing​

Pricing for "days" services can be flexible and may include various factors:

  • Base rate per night
  • Seasonal pricing variations
  • Length-of-stay pricing (e.g., discounts for longer stays)
  • Day-of-week pricing (e.g., weekend rates)
  • Additional guest fees

Key Differences from Other Service Types​

The "days" service type differs from other service types in several ways:

  • No need to define working hours; the service is available every day by default
  • Availability is managed through closing periods rather than schedules
  • Often involves longer booking durations (multiple days or weeks)

By implementing the "days" service type, businesses can efficiently manage long-term bookings and accommodations, providing a streamlined experience for both providers and clients in industries where full-day reservations are the norm.
