How to configure it in Tuvy

- Locations and mobile travel are under Settings, then Locations. Use a shop address, or set a driving zone for a team that travels to the client.
- Open Settings, then Locations, and select Mobile Service Area.
- Enter a default 45-minute buffer so travel time is blocked on the roster.
- Set the maximum travel radius to 25 km from the CBD.
- Physical Branches: list more than one salon or clinic address so clients can choose where to come.
- Mobile Service Radii: set the area you are willing to travel.
