A booth renter rents a chair or booth in your business and runs their own book. In Lilo, they're on your team as a service provider who sets their own hours, services and prices. Someone who works on their own has their own Lilo Booth account instead (see [Set up Lilo Booth](https://heylilo.co/help/getting-started/booth-setup)).

## Add a booth renter

**Applies to:** Owners, admins and location managers · Salons, barbershops, nail studios, tattoo studios and businesses set up as Other

1. Open [**Team**](https://app.heylilo.co/dashboard/team) and select **Add**.
2. Enter their name and **Email**. Lilo sends their invite there.
3. Under **Role**, choose **Service Provider**. Then choose **Booth Renter** under **Employment type**.
4. Choose their **Front desk booking access** and turn **Checkout through business POS** on or off. See the next section for what these do.
5. Work through the rest of the steps. Choose where they work and any of your services they offer. They can change their services later.
6. On **Review**, select **Create Team Member**.

Lilo emails them an [invite](https://heylilo.co/help/team/add-team-members). They can set up their own services and hours after they accept.

Already on your team? Open their profile, select **Role & Work**, then select **Change Type**. Choose **Booth Renter** and select **Confirm Changes**. If Lilo asks for an **Email for Invite**, enter their email first. Lilo sends them an invite there.

## Choose how your team works with them

**Applies to:** Owners, admins and location managers

1. Open **Team** and select the renter's name.
2. Select **Role & Work**.
3. Under **Booth Renter Settings**, choose their **Front desk booking access**. It decides when they show in the provider menu as your team books an appointment:
   - **All Clients**: for every client.
   - **Existing Clients Only**: only for clients who've booked with them before.
   - **None**: never. Clients book them online.
4. Turn **Checkout through business POS** on or off:
   - **On**: your team checks out their appointments in Lilo, like anyone else's.
   - **Off**: Lilo skips checkout for their appointments, and they take payment themselves.
5. Select **Save Changes**. You'll see **Changes saved**.

Location managers can only change renters at their own locations.

## What booth renters manage themselves

- **Hours and time off**: they set their hours on **My Schedule**. Nobody else can change them. Their time off doesn't need approval, and Lilo doesn't tell anyone about it.
- **Services and prices**: in **My Services**, they add services from your menu or create their own. They set their own prices and lengths and can remove services.
- **Campaigns**: they can't send campaigns, but they can ask you to send one. See [Campaign requests from booth renters](https://heylilo.co/help/marketing/campaign-requests).

Everything else works like any service provider's account. See [Team roles and permissions](https://heylilo.co/help/team/roles-and-permissions).

## If you rent a booth

- Set your hours and block time off on **My Schedule**. See [Your availability, time off, and blocks](https://heylilo.co/help/calendar/your-availability).
- Build your menu and set your prices on **My Services**. See [Your services as a provider](https://heylilo.co/help/services/your-services).
- Ask the business you rent from to send a campaign to your clients from **Marketing**. See [Campaign requests from booth renters](https://heylilo.co/help/marketing/campaign-requests).
- The business decides whether its team can book you and whether it checks out your clients in Lilo.

## How it works

- A booth renter is always a **Service Provider** and can always be booked. They need their own login.
- Lilo doesn't collect rent or pay renters their share. Card payments you take in Lilo for their appointments are paid out to your business's bank account, like everyone else's.
- **Front desk booking access** changes the provider menu for everyone on your team, including the owner. It doesn't change online booking.
- With **Checkout through business POS** off, the calendar shows **Provider handles payment** instead of **Check Out**. Lilo only skips checkout when every provider on the appointment has it off. See [Check out an appointment](https://heylilo.co/help/payments/checkout).
- Clients they book are in your client list. By default, they only see the clients they added or have appointments with.

**Applies to:** Owners, admins and location managers

- Under **Compensation** in **Role & Work**, **Rent** is the only option. It's marked **Coming soon**. You can note their **Rent amount** and **Cadence**, but Lilo doesn't charge it.
- If they stop renting, select **Change Type** in their **Role & Work**. The services they created are turned off. As an employee, you set their hours from then on. See [Employees, contractors, and booth renters](https://heylilo.co/help/team/employment-types).

## Common questions

### What's the difference between a booth renter on my team and Lilo Booth?

A booth renter on your team works inside your Lilo Pro account. Their clients are in your client list, and payments you take in Lilo go to your business. Lilo Booth is a separate plan for someone who runs their own business on their own. See [Plans, trial, and billing basics](https://heylilo.co/help/getting-started/plans-and-trial).

### Why isn't a booth renter listed when we book an appointment?

Their **Front desk booking access** may be **None**, so they never show in the provider menu when your team books. With **Existing Clients Only**, they only show for clients who've booked with them before. In the Lilo app, a renter set to **Existing Clients Only** doesn't show at all, so book them on the web. The owner or a manager can change the setting in the renter's **Role & Work** section. The renter also needs to offer that service at that location.

### Can I change a booth renter's hours?

No. They manage their own schedule, so ask them to change it.

### Can my booth renters take bookings on their own website?

Yes. Any website can take bookings with your booking widget, yours or theirs. [Add booking to your website](https://heylilo.co/help/booking/add-booking-to-your-website) shows how.

### Do I approve a booth renter's time off?

No. Their time off is approved as soon as they add it, and nobody is notified.
