Depending on your business model, Cowlendar lets you define availability in different ways—so bookings always reflect **real availability**, avoid conflicts, and adapt perfectly to your workflow.

Below, you’ll find the **three main availability types** you can use in Cowlendar.

### 📌 Availability per Service

### 👥 Availability per Teammate

With this setup, you can **connect one or multiple teammates** to a service.\
Each teammate can define **their own individual availability**, and customers will book based on who is available.

This ensures accurate scheduling while allowing your team to manage their own calendars.

**Best for:**
Barbershops, spas, salons, clinics, and any business with multiple staff members.

### 🛠️ Availability per Equipment

This option allows you to connect **one or multiple pieces of equipment** (such as bikes, kayaks, cars, or rooms) to a service.

All equipment shares the **same availability schedule**, but **each item can be booked individually**, preventing double bookings of the same resource.

**Best for:**
Equipment rentals, activity centers, vehicle bookings, or shared resources.
