Stop Double Booking
Schedule People, Rooms, and Equipment with Clear Rules
Published by Nest Digital Canada Inc.
Build a clear resource scheduling plan.
This workbook helps owners and operators of small service businesses define rules for staff, rooms, and equipment. Work through service requirements, buffers, time zones, simultaneous requests, holds, approvals, retries, cancellations, waitlists, calendar exchange, and recovery.
Each chapter has a worked example, a reader exercise, a reusable worksheet, failure cases, and acceptance checks. Follow Cedar Desk, a fictional service company. Create a service card, resource grid, conflict table, booking state register, and acceptance evidence pack.
The examples use assumed values. They do not promise a business result.
