Setup
Block the time before the doors open.
Setup and tear-down for cities
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
Prep and cleanup sit on the booking, so the next group cannot land on a crew that is still resetting.
Block the time before the doors open.
Hold the room until it is clear.
Both blocks travel with the event, and count as occupied.
How it works
Prep and cleanup count in conflict detection. The public listing can hide them.
Fields, picnic shelters, and civic rooms, with prep time on the calendar.
If the hall is still being reset, Vega will not let the next event sit on top of it.


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