Inductions and sign-offs
A new member books a scheduled induction before they book anything else. It sits on their record as a completed session, so the person on the floor can see who has been signed off on the laser and who has not.
Casual bench hire
A hobbyist wanting three hours at a bench with hand tools and dust extraction books the hours they need and pays for those hours.
Machine time
The laser, the CNC router, the lathe and the 3D printers each have their own diary, so an afternoon of machine time is genuinely booked rather than queued for on arrival.
Group and corporate sessions
A team build or a school group takes several benches for a morning, each held in its own right, so the space is not oversold to a walk-in at the same time.

Schedule
Bench space and machine time on separate lines
The laser, the CNC and the lathe each hold their own diary, so a member booking three hours at a bench and forty minutes on a machine is holding two real things rather than hoping.
Instant booking
The induction sells like anything else
It is a scheduled session at its own price with its own times, so it stops being a favour squeezed in on a Wednesday and starts appearing on the diary as work with a person delivering it.

Get paid
Hourly or a named half day
Bench hire prices the booked duration, and named half day and full day blocks carry stored figures, so a maker in for the whole Saturday picks the block and the price is settled before they arrive.
Less admin, more bookings
Made for makerspace & workshop bench businesses
The induction is a session you can sell
Set the induction up as a scheduled session at its own price with its own times, and it stops being an informal favour squeezed in on a Wednesday. Members book it like anything else, it appears on your diary as real work with a real person delivering it, and when it is done it is a completed booking sitting on that member's history rather than a name on a laminated list.
The laser and the lathe book apart from the bench
Bench space and machine time are different products and treating them as one is how a member ends up paying for four hours to wait for a machine. Each machine is its own bookable unit with its own hourly rate, and the database will not let two people hold the same one at the same time. A member can book two hours at a bench and forty minutes on the laser inside it.
Who has been signed off, on their record
Every member is a customer record with every session, induction and machine hire they have ever booked underneath it. When the question is whether this person has done the CNC induction, the answer is a completed booking on their record rather than the memory of whoever was on the floor that day.
Half a day at the bench, priced as a block
Some work is not an hour and pretending it is makes the pricing awkward. Sell a named half day and a full day at stored figures beside the hourly rate, so a maker who knows they are in for the whole Saturday picks the block, and you get a predictable number instead of a clock-watching conversation at four o'clock.

Common questions.
Sell the induction as its own bookable session and it becomes a normal, priced, scheduled thing rather than a favour. The completed session sits on the member's record, so your floor staff can see who has been through it before handing over a machine.
Set the laser up as its own bookable unit. Once someone holds it for an hour nobody else can, because the overlap is refused at the database. The same applies to the CNC, the lathe and anything else with a queue.
Yes. Bench hire and machine hire are separate services, so a three hour bench booking and a forty minute slot on the router sit against the same member for the same afternoon, each holding what it needs.
You can run both. An hourly rate prices the booked duration, and named blocks such as a half day or a full day carry stored figures, so the maker chooses whichever suits and the price is settled before they arrive.
