Scheduling reservations can be created by employees for your customers, or by your customers directly.
Creating reservations for customers
Reservations can be created by your employees from the Scheduling calendar. Customer profiles are added to your database automatically when created for a scheduling reservation.
Reservation information may be auto-filled according to which column you click when creating a reservation, but can be adjusted. For example, clicking into a column for a Simulator Bay will include that as the service area for the reservation. Unavailable resources will be indicated with grey time intervals.
- Set the calendar to the intended day.
- Click on the calendar to select the reservation start time.
- Select the service, duration, employee, and service area from the drop-down lists.
- Scroll down, and search for a customer profile to attach to the reservation.
- You can search by name, email, or phone number.
- You can add a customer profile to your customer list if they do not appear.
- Click Next.
- Include a private note for employees if necessary.
- Click Reserve.

Processing scheduling reservation payments
You can process payments for scheduling reservation fees by pushing them directly to Lightspeed Retail (R-Series). This allows scheduling reservation fees to be paid for by cash, card, check, or by charging a house account.
Open a reservation, and click Take Payment to push the transaction through to the register. Then, process payment through the intended payment method, and finalize the sale.
The reservation will be marked as paid after the sale has been finalized, and clicking the transaction ID number will bring up the finalized sale in Lightspeed Retail.
