Setting up rooms
How to configure your bookable rooms, hourly rates, and availability.
A room is anything bookable — a podcast booth, a photo set, a full studio, a co-working desk. Each room has its own pricing, availability, and rules.
How many rooms can I have?
- Free — 1 room
- Starter — 1 room
- Pro — 3 rooms
- Business — 10 rooms

Add a room
Admin → Rooms → New Room. Fill in:
- Name — what clients see ("Studio A", "Cyclorama Room")
- Description — what's in the room. Show off equipment and amenities.
- Hourly rate — base price per hour
- Minimum booking length — usually 1 or 2 hours
- Maximum booking length — optional cap to prevent abuse
- Buffer time — minutes between back-to-back bookings (setup/breakdown)
- Photos — at least one hero shot; more is better
Pricing tiers within a room
Want different prices for weekday vs. weekend? Set up time-based rates:
- Open the room → Pricing tab
- Add a rule: e.g. "Friday 6pm–11pm: $120/hr"
- Rules stack — most specific wins
Availability
Rooms inherit your studio business hours by default. To override:
- Closed dates — block specific days (holidays, your own shoots)
- Custom hours — different hours on specific weekdays
Deleting a room
Be careful — if a room has active credits issued against it, deletion is blocked until those credits are used or refunded. See Studio credits for details.
If the room has past bookings (no active credits), deletion archives the room and keeps history.
