How to Set Buffer Times Between Bookings

Buffer times give you extra time before or after an appointment so clients cannot book sessions back to back.

This is useful when you need time to prepare, write notes, travel, reset between clients, or simply take a short break.

How to Add Buffer Times

1. Go to Forms & Bookings
2. Open the Bookings tab
3. Select Booking Types
4. Open the booking type you want to edit
5. Go to Limits

6. Under Buffers, set:

   • Buffer Before

   • Buffer After

7. Save your changes

Buffer times can be customised separately for each booking type.

How Buffer Times Work

For example, if you offer a 60 minute consultation with:

• 15 minutes buffer before

• 15 minutes buffer after

Foodzilla will block that additional time around the appointment so another client cannot book immediately before or after it.

This helps keep your schedule realistic and gives you enough time between sessions.

Double Booking Protection

Foodzilla also includes Double Booking Protection. If two clients attempt to book the same time at once, only the first booking is confirmed. If a scheduling conflict still occurs, it will be flagged on your agenda and you will be notified.
