Go to Manage // Services // Pen icon and:
It may happen that you need to have some buffer time in-between bookings to prepare for the next client, to travel or simply have a couple of minutes rest. <br>
Now we have an option to add some time after each booking.
<br><br>
1. Go to Manage // Services or Manage//Classes depending on the option you need to edit and click on service/class name to select it.
<nomobile>[[File:Buffer time path.png | center]]</nomobile>
<mobileonly>[[File:M buffer time select service.png | center]]</mobileonly>
<br><br>
[[File:BufferTimeEditDialog400.png | center ]]
2. Choose “Time details” tab and click on “Add buffer time” button.
<nomobile>[[File:Add buffer time path.png | center]]</nomobile>
<mobileonly>[[File:M buffer time add path.png | center]]</mobileonly>
<br><br>
3. From the selection options choose the time you need to add as a gap between bookings for this service/class.<br>
'''Please note''', that this time will be added after each booking.

<mobileonly>[[File:M buffer time add step.png | center]]</mobileonly>
<br><br>
4. In some cases you may need to allow the clients to book the services that contain the buffer times at the end of the day,<br>
despite the schedule can fit only the service duration, but not the buffer time.<br>
There may be no need for travel time or you can stay for that period at the working place if needed and do not wish to edit the availability accordingly.<br>
Let's imagine that the service has 1hr duration + 30mins buffer time, but the working period in your settings ends at 6pm and you wish the last client to book at 5pm.<br>
To make it possible please set the option Allow booking at end of day without buffer to Yes in Settings -> Main configuration and save.

<br><br>
As the result such times will be available on the client side(schedule and other custom features may also have their influence)
