Calculations and scenarios are illustrative.
Distinguish the service sold from the time reserved
A 60-minute service does not mean the room is occupied for only 60 minutes. Reception, preparation and resetting the room take time too. A service with 15 additional minutes may need a 75-minute calendar block. Use measured times from your own business.
A room available for seven hours has 420 minutes. Five 75-minute bookings use 375 minutes, leaving 45—too little for another identical service. Removing preparation time from the plan hides delays rather than creating capacity.
Verify both resources for a two-person booking
An available room may not be enough for two customers; you may also need two qualified staff members simultaneously. Explain the service conditions. If the booking tool cannot match all requirements directly, confirm staff and resources manually.
Unrecorded leave or room maintenance can make online availability misleading. Review both the team and usable rooms before opening bookings for the day.
Find the reason for recurring delays
Separate late arrivals, preparation overruns and delays from previous services. Check whether a repeated cause should change the service duration or the working process rather than applying the same fix to every delay.
After setting service, staff and resource assignments in Ordiva, test two consecutive appointments and verify the preparation interval is protected. This is operational guidance; treatment choice and professional suitability remain the responsibility of the qualified practitioner.
Implementation checklist
- Reserve preparation and reset time.
- Check room and staff availability together.
- Define resources for two-person services.
- Review the causes of delays weekly.
