SIXPAC Schedule Buffer lets you add time before or after services so your calendar reflects cleanup, travel, setup, transition time, and realistic availability instead of stacking appointments too tightly.
Built for businesses where the work around the appointment matters as much as the appointment itself.
Most services require time before or after the appointment: cleanup, room reset, equipment setup, charting, travel, customer notes, staff transitions, or simple breathing room.
When the calendar ignores that time, staff get rushed and customers see availability that is not actually realistic.
Protect prep, setup, travel, or room-readiness time before the service begins.
Build in cleanup, notes, reset, travel, or handoff time after the appointment ends.
Let the schedule account for the full workflow instead of only the service duration.
Help staff and customers avoid tight handoffs, overbooking, and schedule stress.
Schedule Buffer helps your calendar reflect the practical time your team needs before and after services.
Add protected time before services for setup, prep, travel, room readiness, or staff transition.
Build cleanup, notes, equipment reset, travel, or checkout time into the schedule after a service ends.
Prevent customers from booking times that look open but do not leave enough room for the full workflow.
Give your team the time they need to serve customers without rushing from one appointment to the next.
Use buffer time for travel windows when appointments happen away from one fixed location.
Make it easier to avoid impossible schedules, tight handoffs, and manual calendar fixes.
The service duration is only part of the calendar. Schedule Buffer helps protect the time around the work.
