Bays
Visual bay management with drag-and-drop Kanban scheduling.
Bays
Overview
Bays represent the physical work stations in your Garage — lifts, pits, or dedicated areas. The Bays module provides a visual Kanban board where you can schedule and track bookings across your bays by day.
Key Concepts
- Bay — A named work station with optional capacity and type (e.g. "Lift 1", "Paint Booth").
- Kanban Board — A drag-and-drop interface showing bays as columns and bookings as cards. Navigate by date to see each day's schedule.
- Services Catalog — The list of services your Garage offers (oil change, brake service, etc.). Services are assigned to bookings, not directly to bays.
Primary Flows
- Create Bays — Define your physical bays in Garage settings with names and optional descriptions.
- Schedule a Booking — Assign a booking to a bay and date. It appears as a card on the Kanban board.
- Drag and Drop — Move booking cards between bays or reorder within a bay to adjust the schedule.
- Daily View — Use date navigation to view past, current, or future bay schedules.
Real-Time Updates
The Kanban board polls for updates every 30 seconds. If a colleague moves a booking or changes a status, the board refreshes automatically.
Permissions and Plan Gating
Bays are available on all plans. The number of bays may be limited on the Free tier.

FAQ

Q: Is there a weekly or monthly view? A: Currently the Kanban board shows one day at a time. Navigate between days using the date picker.
