Services are of two types:

## Appointment

This type of service is based on time-slots scheduling. Essentially, time-slot scheduling is when a customer is provided with a list of available time-slots to choose from.

The customer clicks on the time-slot that suits them, fills out their details and receives a confirmation email as a follow up (depending on the service configuration)

## Uncheduled

A service with no time-slots to choose from, essentially a reservation for this type of service is a *request* that the service provider must fulfill depending on the nature of the service.
