# 7-Day Plan to Your First Booking

> A simple, focused roadmap from zero to launch.

Need a bit more structure than a quick setup sprint?\
This **7-day starter plan** takes you from zero to your **first real booking** with one simple, achievable goal each day.

By the end of the week, you’ll have a clean booking system, working payments, synced calendars, and your first confirmed client — all powered by Oskar.

***

## **Day 1 — Define Your Resources & Services**

* List everything a client can book: rooms, equipment, staff, or instructors.
* Add them in **Left Menu → MANAGE → Resources** with availability and capacity.
* Create your offerings in **Services** — set durations, prices, and a short description so clients instantly understand what you provide.

For deeper guidance:\
See **[Resources](/documentation/setup-and-configuration/resources)** and **[Services](/documentation/setup-and-configuration/services)**.

***

## **Day 2 — Add Your Team & Availability**

* Invite your team in **Staff** and assign clear roles and permissions.
* Link each member to the services or resources they deliver.
* Set working hours, recurring schedules, time-off blocks, and notification preferences.

Learn more: **[Staff Accounts & Permissions](/documentation/setup-and-configuration/staff-accounts-and-permissions)**.

***

## **Day 3 — Polish Your Booking Page**

* Upload your logo, choose colors, and add a cover image.
* Choose the booking flow (service-first, resource-first, or event-first).
* Add translations or rename section headers to match your brand.

***

## **Day 4 — Set Up Payments & Policies**

* Connect **Stripe** or activate offline payment methods.
* Configure deposits, full-payment requirements, or free bookings.
* Set up taxes, fees, discount codes, and your cancellation policy.

***

## **Day 5 — Sync Calendars & Integrate**

* Connect **Google Calendar** or **Outlook** to block personal appointments and sync bookings automatically.
* Test two-way sync to ensure changes appear everywhere.
* Embed your Booking Page on your website or generate a QR code for print.

***

## **Day 6 — Test & Refine**

* Make test bookings for every service, resource, and event.
* Experience the full client journey: confirmation, payment, reminder emails.
* Tweak text, images, or booking options to remove friction.
* Ask a friend to book and give honest feedback.

If something seems off:\
See **[Admin vs Client View](/documentation/troubleshooting/admin-vs-client-view)** and **[Not Showing?](/documentation/troubleshooting/not-showing)**.

***

## **Day 7 — Launch & Celebrate**

* Share your booking link everywhere: website, social bios, email signatures.
* Watch your first real bookings appear on the **Dashboard**.
* Add notes or tags to customers in **Customers (CRM)**.
* Celebrate — you’re live, and Oskar is now running your scheduling on autopilot.
