Bookly Staff Cabinet (Add-on)

Bookly Staff Cabinet - Employee dashboard for Bookly

Bookly Staff Cabinet is a booking system add-on based on the Bookly plugin, creating a separate, user-friendly employee dashboard. This functionality was designed for service companies, salons, clinics, and mobile teams that want to empower employees to manage their schedules and bookings independently. Thanks to its simple interface, staff have access to key tools without having to navigate the WordPress admin area.

Example functionalities

• Review your schedule in daily/weekly view and quickly filter by service and booking status.
• Ability to confirm, reject, reschedule and cancel visits from the employee panel.
• Set your own work hours, breaks and days off that sync with your booking schedule.
• Add private notes to visits and review customer service history.
• Displaying personal statistics: number of visits, revenue in the selected period, average service time.
• Possibility to manage your profile (photo, description, competences) and configure preferred services.
• Optional integration with external calendars (e.g. Google Calendar) depending on the configuration of the basic Bookly plugin.
• Email/SMS notifications about upcoming appointments and schedule changes (if notification features are available in your Bookly environment).

Benefits for the user and the team

Implementing Bookly Staff Cabinet increases employee autonomy, reducing the burden on administrators and expediting customer service. Employees have quick access to their appointments and can independently respond to changes, reducing scheduling conflicts and ensuring better matching of resources to demand. Schedule transparency improves team communication and facilitates the planning of replacements and leave.

Applications in various industries

• Hair and beauty salons – staff can accept, confirm and decline reservations without involving the front desk.
• Clinics and medical offices – doctors and therapists gain access to their own appointment calendar and patient history (in line with privacy policies).
• Trainers and instructors – planning group and individual classes and tracking attendance.
• Service companies – technicians can update service statuses and report work performed from the dashboard.

Integration and requirements

Bookly Staff Cabinet works as an extension of the Bookly system, requiring the Bookly plugin (a version compatible with the add-on) installed. This allows the staff dashboard to take over existing booking, notification, and service management logic, extending it with front-end staff access. The implementation is flexible and can be adapted to various page layouts and integrate with Bookly's external calendaring and payment solutions.

Bookly Staff Cabinet is a tool that simplifies staff management and accelerates customer service in reservation-based organizations. It enables task delegation, improves staffing visibility, and supports daily team work while maintaining consistency with the existing Bookly system.
