   Hi, I'd like to book a gel manicure on Friday afternoon.

2. Receptionist

   Happy to help. A gel manicure takes about 60 minutes. Is that this Friday?

Service

Gel manicure · 60 min

Matching the request to the service list sets the right length, so a 75-minute set never lands in a 30-minute gap.

1. Caller

   Yes, this Friday, any time after noon.

2. Receptionist

   Friday after 12, got it. Do you have a preferred nail technician?

Preferred date

A time window gives the receptionist room to find a real opening instead of a yes-or-no on one time.

03Staff preference

1. Caller

   Maya, if she's free.

2. Receptionist

   I'll look at Maya's openings first.

01Reported problem
