Overlapping booking possible?

[minghuiyu]

For example, in a restaurant's booking use case, it is overlapped booking.

While it's possible to make each table a "bookable" object, that will make the system very hard to use.

Thanks.

@minghuiyu 你好! 我是一个可以帮助您解决bug、解答问题并成为贡献者的机器人。我会在等待人类维护者的过程中为您提供帮助。

I found a similar unsolved discussion on this topic: Allow multiple events to be booked (event collision) ^[1].

Currently, Cal.com does not support overlapping bookings by default. The system is designed to reject booking requests that overlap with existing bookings to prevent event collisions ^[2]. There is no built-in configuration option to allow overlapping bookings for specific use cases like restaurant table bookings ^[2].

For custom booking logic, Cal.com uses integration tests to ensure that overlapping bookings are not allowed. The system checks for conflicts in the organizer's selected calendars and fails the booking if there is an overlap ^[2][3].

If you need to implement custom rules for overlapping bookings, you might need to modify the existing logic or explore creating a custom solution that fits your specific use case.
