Ability to limit dates, days, or times that a service can be booked
We offer seasonal services, and we just had someone schedule our fall Pumpkin Spice service in January. It would be nice to limit the calendar time that these services are available to be booked.

There are certain times in my schedule that I only want to be booked for certain services. This would be especially convenient for people who want to open their schedule randomly but don't want to just get booked for a brow wax because that's really not worth it coming in for that small service.

Would like the ability to prevent same day bookings by service type or provider.

We would like to set some services to only be bookable on specific days/times (at the business level, with the option of location overrides) without needing to use the resources feature as a workaround.

Ability to limit days that certain services can be booked with certain service providers. For example, a service provider who performs only waxing on Monday - Thursday and only facials on Friday - Sunday.

A more generalized version of this could be the ability to set times that a provider can only provide certain services. For example, I have a nail technician who is also an esthetician, it can be beneficial to have times that she can only do nails or only do esthetics. Right now there isn't an easy way to do that.

Ex: I have an employee who will be having a minor surgery and will be in recovery for a week. She will be able to preform certain services that week, but not for all that she offers. She doesn't want to turn off her online booking for those specific services because in that week that she is recovering she wants clients to be able to book those services for time after that week of recovery.
It would be nice to be able to select a set duration of time a specific service can not be booked and once that time is over it opens it back up, but clients will still be allowed to book their services online during that time for weeks or months after. -

The ability to only accept a max number of appointments of a certain service. For example, I would only like to accept 5 appointments a week for a Touch-Up Service. This service is a lower cost item and by limiting these types of appointments, the calendar can be more even with service types.

We have several seasonal services that are only offered for portions of the year (Candy Cane Pedicures during holidays, etc..) It would be nice to have an option to limit when people can book these services so they don't end up booking them past the time when we are planning to offer them. It could be a similar mechanism to the date options on offers

I provide 2 different services. I would like to set it so that people doing online booking can only book "Service 1" on Tues/Wed and then "Service 2" on Thurs/Fri. Doing it this way makes it easier for me to setup my workspace and the flow for each day goes much better than constantly switching between each service.

Would be great if particular services could be set that they only occur Dates-Dates, or certain days of week, or only 2pm-6pm etc. Some services may require certain prep or staff that are ancillary that the business is currently manually keeping track of. Using "resources" to control this still doesn't correctly accomplish this and causes a lot of extra work or UI that may confuse staff.
Example:
Outdoor haircut (only allowed in LA county before sunset and also will have a coming end date sometime soon).
Service should use controls: Between 10am and 5pm despite service providers still having bookable time after for indoor services. Setting it up as a resource isn't correct since no single resource is being used, and if this was done this way, one would need to set up "Outdoor" as a resource for each stylist to use, which would be numerous. And when we do finally get an end date for this option to do services outside, it would be nice to set an end date to those being bookable. -

Some of our service providers also act as assistants on various days. So it would be great if we could schedule them regularly, but then customize that they're only bookable online on select days (ex: Scheduled Monday - Friday, but only bookable Wednesday & Friday)
