Use Pricelabs to create "Preparation time" on listings?
I'd like to add "preparation time" across all channels for our property (AirBNB, VRBO, direct)... ensuring that there is a 1 day gap between bookings (no same day turns).
I've been told I should be able to achieve this result with the "Adjacent Day before/after an unavailable night" feature, but I'm not able to get it working.
Anyone know how to make this work?
Please no comments on how I'm losing money and I should get better cleaners. Our rental has very different demands than yours does.
Thanks in advance!

Quote from @Lauren Kormylo:
I seem to remember hearing that Pricelabs does not allow you to do that.
But they do have a page on pricing days extremely high to discourage back-to-back bookings below. You should still contact them to make sure they don't have that feature. Pricelabs is very complicated.

Case 2: When to apply a premium on Adjacent Factor?
Suppose your STR /property operationally has a hard time handling same-day
turns, or your listing has a high BR count/big place and requires more
cleaning time/cost. In that case, a premium can help discourage
back-to-back bookings or at least bring in more revenue that could help
with operational costs....While a premium
can be put in place so that adjacent days are less attractive to guests,
there's no guarantee that guests won't book these days, and your
regular listing maximum price will still be in effect (though that can
be adjusted with ).
Thanks for the input. I hadn't thought of that. It's not an ideal scenario... I'm just thinking about the user experience of someone wanting to make a booking and being surprised/confused about the huge price jumps, but I'll give it some thought.
