How do I set up the occupancy planner for my centre?

Cheqdin's 'occupancy planner' is automatically set up based on the information you update in your 'centre settings' and online booking settings. The system will look at the following and calculate your 'spaces left' on the basis of the data below.

• The max capacity of each room
• Staff to children ratio
• Session timings and availability
• Children booked
• Sessions blocked 

The 'occupancy planner' on the sidebar of your portal's home page provides a full overview of each room's daily and monthly occupancy percentage.

Updating available places on your online bookings platform

If you do not have an occupancy of 100% on a day (you are not fully booked on a day), we will automatically work out your 'spaces left' and display the free places as 'available' on your online bookings platform. 

Now, what do you do if any of your staff is off sick on a day?

If you think you will need to reduce the number of available places because of staff unavailability (or any other reason), you can block the spaces from your occupancy planner. They will no longer be displayed as 'available' to your customers. You can always come back and 'unblock' the spaces if you need to make them available again.
