{% hint style="info" %}
This is perfect if you are a running a one man team (solo practitioner) and are offering multiple services.
{% endhint %}

In Cowlendar when we refer to limits we are referring to the maximum amount of people that can book a specific time slot and/or day.

### How would a solo practitioner limit there availability?

If you are running a one person show then you might wonder how you can offer multiple services without overbooking? 

* If you are handling multiple services alone it is **crucial that you apply the limit globally instead of in each service.**
  * This means you would put the limit in Apps > Cowlendar > Settings > General Settings.
  * By doing this the limit of 1 gets synced between all service which means if someone bookings 1pm for Service A then 1pm will be closed out in Service B .

Handling multiple services? If so you will want to set the limit globally in Apps > Cowlendar > Settings > General Settings and apply the limit of 1
{% endhint %}

### **Steps for making it so that only one person per time slot can book a time slot across all your services**

**Possible Scenario:** Imagine you offer a private class and can only handle one person at a time.

1. In your Shopify admin dashboard look for at the left hand panel and click on the **Apps** tab.
2. Click on **Cowlendar.**
3. Click on **Settings.**
4. In **General Settings** scroll down until you see **maximum booking per time slot** and put in 1.
