Can we get a custom time option for services?

Question

I own a cleaning company and on average it takes us 90 minutes to clean 1000 sq ft of home. I want to simplify our booking and allow customers to enter the square footage of their home and have an accurate time associated with it. To do that, I need to break it down to 1 square foot = 5.4 seconds so when a customer inputs that their home is 2000 sq ft, it equals 3 hours of service time needed. Currently, the least amount of time I can select is 15 minutes, which means I have to break square footage into increments of 166 sq ft - which is confusing and not feasible because of this.

There HAS to be an easy way to allow us to input a custom time selection krista jade

I believe the increments are for 15 minutes just to simplify things. Can I scheduled to the nearest quarter hour? It may simplify scheduling and timing all together to round to the nearest quarter hour. I hope this helps!&nbsp;

Hi CleanbyVivi&nbsp;&nbsp;thank you for the interesting question! In my experience what TheProcessCEO&nbsp;&nbsp;is saying is what most of our Home Service Providers do. To keep it simple they have a minimum square footage, and then increase by rounded, standardized increments from there.
We would love to better understand how being specific down to time per square foot works better for your company. When convinenent please don’t hesitate to reach out to our Success team at 1-888-721-1115 option 1 or support@getjobber.com
