Staff Schedules

Each team member manages their own weekly availability:

  • Set working hours per day of the week
  • Block off specific days (vacations, sick days, holidays)
  • Set recurring breaks or lunch hours

Google Calendar Sync

Connect Google Calendar for two-way sync:

  • PhotoFounder appointments appear on the photographer's Google Calendar.
  • Google Calendar events block off availability in PhotoFounder.
  • Changes in either system sync automatically.

Time Slot Calculation

When a client books, available time slots are calculated considering:

  • Staff working hours and days off
  • Existing appointments and buffer time
  • Travel time between the last appointment and the new property
  • Service duration
  • Location and service area
