Sarah — Annual Leave, Monday 12 → Friday 16. While she’s away, TailPro keeps her time protected automatically:

One click. Your time is protected.
How it works
01
Add your Away Time
Select the date or period you’ll be unavailable.
02
Choose who's unavailable
Apply to the whole business, or an individual team member.
03
TailPro updates availability
The period is removed from relevant booking availability.
04
Customers see only available times
The protected time can’t be selected through the booking flow.
05
Your schedule stays accurate
Your calendar reflects who’s actually available.
Accuracy, not guesswork
Your calendar should reflect reality, not guesswork
When your availability changes, your booking availability should change with it. Away Time keeps the booking experience aligned with your real working schedule, reducing the risk of customers booking times you can’t provide.
Take a holiday without taking your booking calendar with you.
Your business should support your life, not make you permanently available.
The admin difference
Manual calendar management vs TailPro Away Time
Without Away Time
With TailPro Away Time
The hidden risk of manual scheduling
Your business is too important to run on memory.
Manual calendar management depends on someone remembering to update every relevant place. A single missed update can mean an accidental booking, a staff conflict, a cancellation, a refund, or a frustrated customer. Away Time makes unavailable periods part of the booking system itself — instead of remembering to protect your time, set it once and let TailPro handle the availability update.
