Service time restrictions - your secret peak-pricing weapon

Charge more at peak times, offer happy-hour pricing, restrict services to specific days - all from BookAndGo's time restrictions feature.

Time restrictions let you say: 'This service is only available Tuesday-Thursday 10am-2pm, and costs NZ$60 instead of NZ$90 during that window'. It's a pricing lever most booking platforms don't offer at all.

Use cases

Happy hour pricing - fill quiet weekday mornings at a discount
Premium weekend rates - auto-charge more for Saturday bookings
Specialist services - only offer the advanced service when the senior provider is in
Lunch-break bookings - a quick 30-minute service during midday only

How it works

Each service can have any number of restriction windows. Each window has a day-of-week bitmask, a time range, and an optional price override. At booking time, BookAndGo picks the price from the most specific matching window.
