Attach a staff member to a specific room or station

It would be incredibly helpful to have the ability to assign a staff member to a specific treatment room based on their scheduled working hours.
For salons with multiple providers offering the same services in different rooms, especially part-time team members, appointments can sometimes be booked into a room that is being used by another provider. This creates unnecessary scheduling conflicts and requires manual adjustments.
For example, if an esthetician works only on Mondays and Thursdays in Room A, while another esthetician works in Room B on different days, it would be beneficial if Phorest could automatically associate each provider with their assigned room according to their schedule. This would ensure appointments are only booked into the room where that provider is actually working.
This feature would:
Reduce room scheduling conflicts.
Eliminate the need for manual room changes.
Allow multiple providers offering the same services to maximize room availability.
Improve booking accuracy for both staff and online bookings.
Be especially valuable for salons with part-time providers or rotating room assignments.
Having room assignments tied to a staff member's schedule would create a more seamless scheduling experience and help salons utilize their treatment spaces much more efficiently.

I have self employed people using different rooms and nail stations all at different times and need to be able to assign the room station to them for the hours they work so that it is not overbooked. They are paying rent for it so it needs to be free the hours they are in.
