Adding occupancy starting and ending time on the hourly service
When creating a Hourly Service to sell hotel rooms during the day, we would like to have the possibility to add occupancy starting time and ending time to this service.
To be able to sell room during the day on different time slots, we're first going to set up the Hourly Service. We are then going to create Rate Plans on which we add "Closed to stay" Restrictions on selected hours.
With this setup I can sell my day rooms on different time slot and at different rates.
However this configuration does not allow us to set up the Occupancy starting and ending time. This feature would help us have more inventory available on our dayroom even if the hotel is sold out on night use.

Would we ever consider prorating the minutes?
For example: a check-in to an hourly SVC at 2:49:03p and check-out at 4:22:28p equals to about 1:33 mins. However, since we can only book full hours so the charge is accounted for 2pm, 3pm, and 4pm.
