I have 4 stations availble for booking. How can I let different customer book at the same time?

Jable — Mon, 22 Sep 2025 14:29:00 GMT

I run a VR Arcade and we have 4 bookable VR stations through our online booking widget. The problem I have is that if one person books a single station then it blocks all booking for that time period in the calendar.

We also have it set up so they can book up to 4 stations at a time for group events, but if 1 person books 2 stations, It would make sense that we can allow the other 2 available stations to be booked at the same time.

I recently learned of the 'resources' option, but it is very vague on how it works, or if it would even be applicable to my application.

Am I missing something simple, or is it not possible to set up appointments like this?

I appreciate any guidance on this, Thank you.

HI, the Manage Resources will be the option to use in your scenerio.

A Resource piggybacks off the Appointments Services (think Hair Salon with multiple stylists).
