Getting Started

Core Concepts

Key concepts to understand before using Calendence.

Your Account

When you sign up, you create a Hub — your top-level account. Your Hub holds your subscription, payment method, and all your businesses.

  • One subscription covers all your businesses
  • Switch between businesses instantly from the Hub Panel
  • The Hub Panel appears automatically when you have 2+ businesses

Businesses

Each business you create has its own:

  • Staff members and schedules
  • Services and pricing
  • Locations and resources (bays, equipment)
  • Clients and bookings
  • Booking widget and public booking page

Everything is kept separate between businesses — clients, bookings, and staff don't overlap.

Roles

Every team member has a role that determines what they can see and do:

Role Access
Super Admin Full access including billing
Admin Manage staff, services, bookings, invoices
Manager Manage bookings and clients, view reports
Staff View own schedule, manage assigned bookings

The same person can have different roles in different businesses.

Resources

Resources are anything that needs to be scheduled alongside staff:

  • Bay — a physical workspace (detail bay, service lift)
  • Equipment — shared tools that can only be used by one job at a time
  • Vehicle — company vehicles for mobile services

Calendence checks all resource availability before showing a time slot to clients. Two jobs can't use the same bay or equipment at the same time.

Booking Statuses

Every booking moves through these statuses:

Status Meaning
Pending Awaiting confirmation
Confirmed Booking is locked in
In Progress Job is being performed
Completed Job finished
Cancelled Cancelled by business or client

All bookings are preserved for reporting — nothing is deleted.
