Resources

Resources are the bookable things in Metrognome—studios, equipment, storage units, parking spots, and more. Each resource belongs to a location and has its own pricing, availability, and booking rules. This guide covers finding, creating, and managing resources.

Finding Resources

Go to Staff → Resources to see all resources across locations.

Quick search: Press ⌘K and type a resource name to jump directly to it.

From the list:

  1. Use the search bar to find by name
  2. Use filters to narrow down:
  3. Status — Active, Inactive, Maintenance, Coming Soon
  4. Type — Hourly studios, monthly studios, equipment, etc.
  5. Location — Filter to a specific facility

Click any row to open the resource detail page.

Resource Types

Resources fall into two billing categories based on how customers pay:

Hourly Resources

Booked by the hour with per-session pricing. These integrate with Acuity for scheduling.

  • Hourly Studios — Rehearsal rooms customers book by the hour
  • Equipment — Rentable gear (mics, amps, etc.)
  • Tours — Facility walkthrough slots

Monthly Resources

Ongoing subscriptions billed monthly through Stripe.

  • Monthly Studios — Private lockout spaces with 24/7 access
  • Storage — Storage units
  • Parking — Parking spaces
  • Mailbox — Mailbox service
  • Amenity — Shared amenity access

Special Types

  • Entry — Access points with no pricing. Used for door access configuration only.

Creating a Resource

Go to Staff → Resources and click Add.

The create form walks through four sections. Fill in the required fields and click Save.

Required for creation:

  • Name — Clear, descriptive name customers will see
  • Type — Cannot be changed after creation, so choose carefully
  • Location — Which facility this resource belongs to
  • Status — Whether it's available for booking

For hourly resources: You'll also need to add an Acuity Calendar ID to enable scheduling.

Editing a Resource

Click any resource to open its detail page. The form is organized into eight tabs.

Details Tab

The essentials: what the resource is and where it lives.

  • Name — Display name shown to customers in listings and booking pages
  • Status — Controls visibility and booking availability (see Status Meanings)
  • Available — Toggle off to mark the resource as temporarily unavailable without changing its status. Unavailable resources show as "Occupied" to customers but remain Active in the system. Use this for cleaning, temporary closures, or setup periods
  • Type — Read-only after creation. Determines billing model (hourly vs monthly) and scheduling integration
  • Acuity Calendar ID — For hourly resources only. Links to the Acuity calendar that handles scheduling
  • Description — Public description shown on the booking page. Include features, equipment, and what's included
  • Notes — Internal notes only staff can see
  • Marketing Featured — Check to highlight this resource on location marketing pages
  • Location — Which facility this resource belongs to

Physical Tab

Where the resource is located within the facility and its dimensions. Dimensions matter because they're used to calculate pricing when you don't set a price override.

  • Floor — Which floor the resource is on
  • Wing — Building section (Red Wing, Blue Wing, etc.). Used for organizing and access control
  • Width / Length / Height — Dimensions in feet. Width × Length = square footage for pricing calculations
  • Size Category — General classification (S, M, L, XL) for filtering on the public site
  • Max Occupancy — Capacity limit shown to customers
  • Non-standard shape — Check if the space isn't rectangular (affects how square footage displays)

Pricing Tab

How much customers pay. There are two ways to set prices:

Price Override — Set a specific dollar amount. When set, this is exactly what customers pay, ignoring any calculations.

Calculated Pricing — If no override is set, the system multiplies square footage (Width × Length) by a rate per square foot. This rate inherits from the location but can be overridden per resource.

For hourly resources, you can also configure peak pricing:

  • Peak Multiplier — How much more to charge during busy times (1.5 = 50% more, 2.0 = double)
  • Peak Hours — Start and end times for peak pricing, shown in the location's timezone

The bottom of this tab shows the calculated prices customers will actually see:

  • Card Price — What customers pay with credit/debit cards
  • ACH Price — Discounted rate for bank account payments (automatic)
  • Peak Card/ACH Price — Higher rates during peak hours (hourly only)
  • Credit Price — Price when paying with studio credits (hourly only)

Rounding: Monthly card prices round up to the nearest $5 (e.g., $147 becomes $150). Monthly ACH bank payments round up to the nearest $1.

Price changes take effect immediately—customers see the new price right away.

Placements Tab

Assets physically placed at this resource, like equipment or furniture. This tracks what's in the room.

  • Click Add Asset to place an asset here
  • Click the trash icon to remove a placement (the asset goes back to inventory)

Images Tab

Photos of the resource. The first image becomes the cover photo shown in listings.

  • Add images — Upload photos showing the space
  • Reorder — Drag to change display order
  • Remove — Delete images you no longer need

Upload images up to 20MB in JPEG, PNG, or WebP format.

Groups Tab

Assign resources to groups for organization and filtering. Groups can represent:

  • Physical areas (wings, floors, sections)
  • Logical groupings (all monthly studios, all equipment)
  • Access zones (for door access configuration)

Customers can filter by group on the public site.

Reservations Tab

Read-only list of all bookings for this resource. Click any reservation to view details.

System Tab

Technical details and dangerous actions.

  • Resource ID — Unique identifier (useful for debugging)
  • Created At / Last Updated — Timestamps
  • Acuity Calendar ID — If configured
  • Cover Image URL — Direct link to the cover photo
  • Delete Resource — Permanently removes the resource (see Deleting a Resource)

Changing Prices

Open any resource and go to the Pricing tab to adjust rates.

Price Override vs Calculated

Price override — Set an exact dollar amount. Use this when you want a resource to cost exactly a certain amount regardless of size.

Calculated pricing — Leave the override empty and the system multiplies dimensions by the rate per square foot. Change the rate to adjust all similarly-sized resources at once.

Card vs Bank Account Pricing

Every resource shows two prices:

  • Card price — What customers pay with credit/debit cards
  • Bank account price — A discounted rate for ACH payments

The bank account discount is automatic—you only set the base price.

Status Meanings

Status What It Means
Active Available for booking, visible to customers
Inactive Not available, hidden from public
Maintenance Temporarily unavailable, shown with status indicator
Coming Soon Not yet available but visible on public pages

Deleting a Resource

Resources with existing reservations cannot be deleted. Cancel or reassign those reservations first.

To delete:

  1. Open the resource detail page
  2. Go to the System tab
  3. Click Delete Resource and confirm

Deletion is soft—the data is preserved but the resource is hidden.
