Rooms and Equipment

Rooms and Equipment allow you to control physical resources used during bookings so Kyrios can prevent double bookings and manage capacity automatically.

Updated over 2 months ago

Who This Is For / When to Use

Use Rooms and Equipment if your business operates from a physical location and services require specific spaces or tools, such as salons, clinics, gyms, spas, or studios.


What Are Rooms?

A room represents any physical location or space where a service takes place.

Examples:

  • Massage rooms

  • Salon chairs

  • Treatment rooms

  • Workout areas

  • Pedicure stations

Rooms help Kyrios control how many appointments can happen at the same time in the same space.


What Are Equipment?

Equipment represents tools or devices required to deliver a service.

Examples:

  • Laser machines

  • Facial devices

  • Medical equipment

  • Specialized chairs or machines

Equipment tracking ensures bookings only happen when the required tools are available.


How Rooms and Equipment Work Together

When rooms or equipment are linked to service calendars:

  • Kyrios checks staff availability

  • Kyrios checks room capacity

  • Kyrios checks equipment availability

If any required resource is unavailable, the time slot cannot be booked.

This prevents:

  • Overlapping room usage

  • Equipment overbooking

  • Resource conflicts across services


Enable Rooms and Equipment

Rooms and Equipment must be enabled before they can be used.

  1. Go to Calendars → Preferences.

  2. Under In App Preferences, toggle on:

    • Rooms

    • Equipments

Once enabled, Rooms and Equipments tabs appear in Calendar Settings.


How to Create a Room

Step 1: Open Rooms

  1. Go to Calendars → Calendar Settings.

  2. Click the Rooms tab.

  3. Click Create Room.


Step 2: Enter Room Details

Provide the following details:

  • Description: Optional purpose or notes

  • Total Capacity: Number of simultaneous appointments allowed in the room


Step 3: Associate Calendars

  1. Select one or more service calendars.

  2. Click Create.

Whenever an appointment is booked on an associated calendar, the room is reserved automatically.


How Room Capacity Works

  • Capacity defines how many overlapping bookings are allowed.

  • Example:

    • Room name: Massage Room

    • Capacity: 2

    • Linked calendars: Body Massage, Head Massage

Two appointments can overlap across either calendar. A third booking at the same time will be blocked.
