Hours per resource — the room has its hours, the practitioner has hers
A resource can have its own hours, different from the business's.
The problem
A business has opening hours. But not everything inside it is open at the same times. A room can close earlier than the front desk.
A part-time practitioner is only present three afternoons a week.
Without its own hours, everything looks continuously available, until a client books a slot when nothing is actually open.
A resource can follow the business's hours by default, or get its own.
Without Kagenda
The business is open from 9am to 7pm. The diary offers these hours to everyone, even the practitioner who's only there in the afternoon.
With Kagenda
The practitioner has her own hours. The morning never shows as bookable for her.

Frequently asked questions
Do hours need to be set for every resource?
No. A resource without its own hours follows the business's.
Can a resource's hours be wider than the business's?
No. Availability always keeps the more restrictive of the two.
Can a resource have its own breaks?
Yes, its breaks are added on top of its own hours.
Does this follow named schedule sets (holidays, alternating weeks)?
Not yet. They apply to the business, not yet to each resource.
