## Licenses

Prices before taxes, for one register. A license lasts its length (1 week, 1 month or 1 year) from its purchase and can be moved from one register to another.

| Module | Length | Price |
|---|---|---|
| Services | 1 week | $6.00 |
| Services | 1 month | $18.00 |
| Services | 1 year | $150.00 |

## Why Services
### The right slots only
A slot is offered when an employee is scheduled for the service's duration and buffer, and belongs to the required group.
### Never two appointments at once
The database refuses two overlapping appointments for the same employee, even when booked at the same moment on two registers.
### The right to sell, not only to deliver
An item can require a staff group: the engine refuses the sale to a cashier outside it.
### A deposit that holds the slot
An appointment booked with a deposit becomes an RV reservation, with its balance, picked up on the day of the service.
### Simple for a one-person shop
No group to set up when one person delivers every service; groups help from two specialties on.
### Schedules that repeat
Rotation patterns over several weeks, a work schedule per employee, holidays.

## Questions about Services

### Do my customers get a reminder?
Not yet. Customer reminders are planned.

### Can I book without a registered customer?
Yes. A name is enough for a walk-in. The "link a customer" box is ticked by default and can be unticked.

### What happens if I make a service longer?
Appointments already booked keep their end time. Only new appointments take the new duration.

### What if I remove an employee's shift?
Their appointments stay, flagged to be rescheduled. Nothing disappears.

### Which length should I choose?
One month for a peak period, one year for a salon open all year.
