Resources
Rooms, beds, and equipment your services need — so a booking reserves the space as well as the staff member.
Some services need more than a free staff member — they need the room, the wax bed, the laser machine. A resource is any physical thing a booking must hold. Once you link a resource to the services that use it, Gloora checks both the staff member and the resource before it offers a slot, so you can never double-book your only treatment room.

Add a resource
Hit Add resource and fill in:
- Name — what your team calls it: Treatment Room 1, Wax Bed A. Staff see this on the calendar; clients never do.
- Branch — resources belong to one branch, since a room only exists in one place.
- Type — a soft tag for grouping: Room, Station, or Equipment.
- Capacity — how many bookings it can hold at once. Set 1 for a private room; set higher for a shared space that seats several clients.
Link it to services
A resource only does its job once services know they need it. Open a service and add the resources it requires — from then on, every booking for that service reserves the resource alongside the staff member for the full appointment.
Availability, done right
Because Gloora holds the resource for the length of the booking, a slot shows as free only when a qualified staff member and the required resource are both open. No more two therapists booked into one room.
Switch a resource off with Active and any slot that needs it disappears from booking until you switch it back on — handy when a machine is out for repair. Past bookings keep their record.
