Owner bookable setting
Whether the owner takes appointments.
Quick answer: On the Team page, toggle Available for bookings on your owner row. Turn it off if you manage the business but don't take appointments — you need at least one other bookable team member first.

Overview
By default the business owner appears as a bookable team member on the calendar and booking page. If you run the business but don't see clients yourself, turn off Available for bookings so customers only book with your staff.

- Toggle controls whether you appear in booking flows
- Requires another bookable member before you can turn it off

What happens next
When you're not bookable, your custom working hours are cleared. Services that assign staff will skip you. You still have full owner access to settings, billing, and team management.
