Setup and tear-down for cities

Protect prep time on fields, halls, and parks

A festival needs load-in. A rec rental needs reset. Block that time on the calendar so the next booking cannot land on a crew still tearing down.

The buffer

Time the building actually needs

Prep and cleanup sit on the booking, so the next group cannot land on a crew that is still resetting.

Setup

Block the time before the doors open.

Tear-down

Hold the room until it is clear.

One booking

Both blocks travel with the event, and count as occupied.

How it works

1On the staff calendar

Prep and cleanup count in conflict detection. The public listing can hide them.

2Parks and rec

Fields, picnic shelters, and civic rooms, with prep time on the calendar.

3No double rentals

If the hall is still being reset, Vega will not let the next event sit on top of it.

Two views

Staff see the holds. Residents see the start.

Prep and cleanup sit on the same booking and count as occupied. The public page can hide those blocks, so the listing still shows the real start time.

  • Setup before the doors open
  • Tear-down after the room is clear
  • Conflict detection treats both as time the space is taken

What they're saying

Load-in and reset stay on the calendar, so the next rental cannot land on a crew that is still tearing down.

“We block load-in on the hall the same way we block the event. The next rental cannot sit on top of it.”
