# Managing staff, rooms and chairs

Keep several team members, rooms or chairs booked without clashes.

## What it is

As well as staff, you can set up rooms or chairs as bookable resources. Bookatu makes sure a service that needs a room only books when both the right person and a free room are available, and it can pick a free room for you.

## Why it helps

No more double-booked rooms or two people needing the same chair. Your busiest days run smoothly because the calendar knows what each booking needs.

## How to use it

1. Add your team under Settings → Team and tick the services each person does.
2. Add your rooms or chairs as resources, and link them to the services that need them.
3. Let Bookatu pick a free room automatically, or set one yourself on the booking.
4. The calendar shows each person and resource, so you can spot clashes at a glance.
