Interpreters: booking half-day and full-day assignments

Conferences, court hearings, medical appointments and business meetings book interpreters by the half-day or the day. Put those assignment lengths on your booking page: clients check your free dates and book at any hour, each booked date leaves your page, and you know the subject and venue in advance to prepare.

On Book, each service has a name, a price and an optional description shown on your public page, and each slot belongs to one service, sits within one day and has its own capacity. Give each slot one place.

Times and prices are examples: set your own, and say what's included, such as travel within a set area.

Slots of different services can overlap on Book. A morning half-day and a full day on the same date are two services, so both could be booked. Open half-days and full days on different weekdays, or keep only full days online and book half-days yourself after a call.

The booking form takes first name, last name, email and phone, plus an optional note that reaches you in the new booking email and appears in the client's calendar file. Ask for:

Ask clients to send documents by email rather than in the note, since the note appears in the calendar file.

Book a short preparation call before the assignment from your bookings list. First and last name are enough; if you enter the client's email, they get a confirmation with a calendar file.

Clients can't move or cancel online: they contact you, and rescheduling works across services, so a half-day can become a full day. Book doesn't email clients about changes, sends no reminders and doesn't take payments. Your bookings sync with Google, iPhone or Mac calendars. Book costs €5/month, everything included: unlimited services and bookings, no commission, no contract.
