How To Add New Collection/Return Slots

Updated this week

Efficiently managing your workshop's schedule is crucial. Workshop by bikebook allows you to define specific time slots when customers can drop off or pick up their bikes, ensuring a smooth workflow and better customer experience.

Follow these steps to add new collection/return slots:

Step-by-Step Instructions:

  1. Click on 'Availability' from the left hand menu.

    • Within the left hand menu, find and click on 'Availability'. This page allows you to set your workshop's working hours and define specific time slots for services, collections, and returns.

  2. Navigate to 'Collection/Return Slots'

    • On the 'Availability' page, you'll see different tabs. Click on 'Hours'. Look for and click on the 'Collection/Return Slots & Onsite Services' tab.

  3. Click 'Add New Slot' or '+' Icon

    • To create a new slot, click on the '+' (plus) icon that is located to the right of the slots list.

  4. Define Your Slot Details:

    • A form or pop-up will appear where you can configure the new slot. You'll typically need to set the following:

      • Day(s) of the Week: Select the specific day(s) (e.g., Monday, Tuesday, Every Weekday) on which this slot will be available.

      • Start Time: Choose the beginning time for the collection/return slot.

      • End Time: Choose the end time for the collection/return slot.

      • Capacity (Optional): In the 'Availability Settings' specify how many collections/returns can be scheduled within this slot. This prevents overbooking.

Tips for Managing Slots:

  • Be Specific: Create slots that accurately reflect your workshop's capacity and operational hours.

  • Regular Review: Periodically review and adjust your collection/return slots to accommodate changes in demand or staffing.

  • Edit/Delete Existing Slots: You can typically edit or delete existing slots by clicking on them or selecting an 'Edit'/'Delete' option next to each slot entry.

By clearly defining your collection and return slots, you provide clarity to your customers and maintain better control over your workshop's daily operations!
