Creating Your First Service

Step-by-step guide to adding a bookable service to your studio.

A service is anything a customer can book — a cold plunge session, an infrared sauna slot, a PT session, a yoga class. Each service has a duration, price, and is linked to one or more resources.

Creating a service

1Go to Schedule in the sidebar, then click the Resources & Services tab
2Click New Service
3Enter a name (e.g. Cold Plunge Session)
4Set the duration in minutes (e.g. 60)
5Set the price — enter 0 for free sessions
6Set the maximum capacity (how many people can book the same slot)
7Link the service to a resource — this tells Vastali which physical asset delivers this session
8Click Save

New service form showing name, duration, price, capacity, and resource fields

Service fields explained

✓Duration — how long the session lasts. Slots are generated at this interval.
✓Capacity — the maximum number of simultaneous bookings for one slot. Use 1 for one-on-one sessions, higher for classes or shared-bay facilities.
✓Buffer time — extra minutes blocked before and after each session (set on the resource, not the service).
✓Price — amount charged at booking. Set to 0 for sessions covered by membership.
✓Booking mode — choose between open booking (any available slot), assigned resource (specific bay/room assigned), or scheduled class (fixed times).

💡

Tip: If you offer the same session in multiple rooms or bays, create one service and link it to multiple resources. Vastali will distribute bookings across them automatically.

Making the service visible

Once saved, the service appears on your public booking page immediately. If you want to hide a service temporarily, toggle it inactive from the service list.
