Services are the appointments your clients can book with you. They are essential to your business and the first step in the booking process. You can also create services that are not available for clients to book but can be scheduled internally by team members in your Bookem Calendar.
To create a new service:
1. Navigate to Services
Go to Settings > Services.
2. Create a New Service
Click the + New Service button in the top-right corner.
3. Name and describe your service
Add a name and description for the service.
Assign a colour to the service for easy identification in your calendar.
4. Set up a booking form (Optional)
If needed, create a custom booking form.
The default form usually collects all relevant booking details.
5. Choose the Service location
Specify where the service will be provided:
At your business location
Off-site (e.g., at the client’s location)
Via video call
6. Enable Online Bookings (If Applicable)
Toggle Online bookings to "On" if this service should be available for clients to book online.

Manually review and confirm bookings
8. Add a service image (Optional)
Upload an image to visually represent the service, if required.

Select a team member, group, or resource from the dropdown menu.
If multiple team members are assigned, specify whether the booking requires Team Member 1 OR Team Member 2 (not both unless needed simultaneously).

Enter the duration of the service in the Duration field.
Add multiple durations if needed (e.g., 30 minutes, 45 minutes, 1 hour). Use the + button to include additional options. Learn more about setting service durations here.

Add a price for the service. Toggle "Show pricing online" to on/ off according to your preferences. (as per the image above) Learn more about pricing and automated invoicing here.
12. Add Buffers (If Needed)
Include a buffer before or after the service for travel time, room preparation, or note-taking.
