Blocks currently are only available in two day increments, basically an overnight block of the property from standard check in time one day to check out the next.
Please add a feature that would create the ability to make a single day vendor block for maintenance/cleaning/etc in the OR system. This feature would streamline maintenance appointments so they can show on the OR calendar.
It would need a start and end time, and allow owners to schedule required maintenance ahead of time and ensure it does not interfere with a guest stay. This would also allow for check in or out on the day of the vendor block if it doesn't interfere with check in/out times.
Having this as a feature in OR would allow you to set a lock code to sync to doors automatically without having to go into your remote key box software and also trigger any API integrated thermostat management to heat/cool the house.
An additional option could be made to schedule the vendor appointment but not have it block the property, so you could schedule certain vendors who need access to the property but could be scheduled concurrently with a reservation.
Hi Copper Corral,
Our reservation system operates on a night-based booking model rather than calendar days. A one-day block actually encompasses one night, beginning at check-in time and concluding at checkout the following day. While this appears as two calendar days in the system, it represents a single night's stay.
Blocking individual calendar days would create operational complications. For instance, a single-day block would require the previous guest to check out at midnight and restrict the following guest to check-in only after midnight on the same day, which is not practical.
Therefore, the minimum block duration is one night (appearing as two days in the reservation system), which aligns with standard hospitality booking practices where guests reserve nights rather than days.
What you could do is change arrival and / or departure restrictions for individual days on the Rate Calendar. This would prevent a guest from being able to arrive or depart on any given day of your choosing. Though this would not prevent a booking from including that day if it is encompassed in surrounding stay dates.
