PREREQUISITES
Add the required instructors to the platform and set up their allowed lesson types.
SETUP REQUIREMENTS
Log in to the admin dashboard.
Click SETTINGS on the side menu.
Scroll down to the INSTRUCTOR SETTINGS heading.
Click Instructor Pricing.
Assign Scheduling Restrictions
The first step is to assign lesson types to each instructor, which tells the system which lessons each instructor can teach.
Click the Scheduling Restriction tab.
Go to the TYPE column to view the active lesson types.
Check the box for each lesson type that an instructor offers.
Click Save Changes.
In this example, the instructor Coach Carl can teach all of the lesson type options.
Assigning Lesson Rates
Next, enter lesson rates for each instructor under the Instructor Pricing tab. Be sure every instructor has a rate for each lesson type and membership type listed. Missing rates may cause errors when creating a lesson.
Rates are typically hourly but can also be fixed. The hourly rate is the price per member per hour. The fixed rate is the cost regardless of the duration of the lesson.
Note: There is no Save button on this page. CourtReserve auto-saves the rates.
If the system user enters a rate in the first column, CourtReserve auto-fills the fields for other membership types with the same figure. Users can change the values as required. CourtReserve saves this information on the individual instructor's profile page too.
In the example below, the instructor has hourly lesson rates for two lesson types across three membership types at their facility.
Creating a Custom Instructor Cost
Use this flexible tool to assign non-standard rates for specific periods. For example, a PRO-level instructor may charge a higher rate for peak periods (e.g. Sunday mornings) or an instructor wants to give a discount during non-peak periods (e.g. Sunday evenings).
Make sure the Instructor Pricing tab is selected.
Go to the bottom of the Instructor column and click the Add New Custom Instructor Cost button.
Fill in the fields (see below).
Click Save changes.
Fill in the Fields
Name - Enter a unique name for this custom cost.
Memberships - Click the field and make this custom cost available to one or more membership types. The default setting is ALL.
Reservation Types - Click the field and make this custom cost available to one or more reservation types. The default setting is ALL.
Instructors - Click the field and make this custom cost available to one or more instructors. The default setting is ALL.
Day of the week - Click the field and choose one option on the drop-down menu.
Start / End Time - Use the clock icons to set when the custom lesson begins and finishes.
In this example, the instructor will offer a discounted hourly rate for Sunday evenings.
CourtReserve saves the custom cost profile in the last row of the table. Optionally, system users can create custom costs for any membership type by clicking the Add New button in the column and then completing the form.
USER PERSPECTIVE
Example: A club has a Book a Pro scheduler set up for Coach Carl. A player is booking a 1-hour private pickleball lesson. Since the player is a Basic Member, the lesson price is $70.
