I offer mobile and services at a location. How do I block off times for only location services.

I have a brick and mortar but also offer mobile services.  Does anyone know how to block off specific times for services to only be offered at my physical location so clients wont be able to book mobile services during specific hours? Please help!

Hey @lakesharn.  So, here are a couple of possibilities.

First, have you thought about setting up a second location and having two locations in Square — one for your mobile services and one for your physical location?  You’d be able to control hours for each independently.

Second, you could (possibly) create a new “team member” named “Mobile Employee” (or something) and set up its available hours as you want.  This one allows you to stay with only one Square Location.

Look over each of those, and let me know if you find issues or concerns.  There’s not enough information in your post for me to be able to know which — if either — would work better for you right now.

This was very helpful.  I made another employee but there is still a minor issue.  Even though I named it "mobile appt"  the system is still allowing the customer to put in their physical address when they book under the "mobile appt".  Because I accept mobile and business location appts, I have it set to accept both.  Is there a way I can stop allowing the customer to put in their physical address when choosing to be serviced at my "physical location"?

@lakesharn Unfortunately I can not think of a way to do  that. My suggestion should be seen as a workaround only. Obviously the system was not designed for this situation. 

I can give you one other option. Head over to the Square App Marketplace and look for third party scheduling apps that take your situation into account. I’m betting there is one there.
