Sorry if the title is vague. I couldn’t think of a better term.

I mostly do incalls one day a week at a hotel and give myself half and hour between. This only leaves four “workable” hours. Now, not all of those hours are filled every week.
I also, at the moment, have set times( to allow half an hour between) and insist clients must book/schedule  one of those four slots.
I think I need to look at my scheduling as I get fed up of waiting around. I’ve started charging deposits with mixed results. I’m also looking at introducing half an hour slots again but they wouldn’t fit my current schedule system. I also find half an hours hard work as they never seem to leave on time. So I’m asking two questions:
How much time do you leave between appointments?
How do you schedule appointments?  Do you have set appointment times?

Thank you in advance!

When I offer incalls its from a hotel, so to avoid any suspicion I tend to leave an hour to 90 minutes between each booking.  I am also relatively low volume & will only see 3 guys/4 guys within a 10/12 hour day (I book 2 continous nights for tours & tend to not see anyone on the morning I am leaving because I like to be up and heading home)

The time I leave between clients and the time I actually have, varies as some finish early, arrive early etc.

I don't tolerate lateness and manage that well so it's never an issue.

I book appointments at half hourly intervals and that works well for me. I work from 10am until 9pm if I'm on a roll but I don't like working too late as I need my sleep.

I'm very strict with appointments and run a reserve list too.
