#### Adding Staff

After adding your service, you will need to have at least one staff/provider in order to make your first booking in the appointments page, please visit the [Managing Staff](/simplespa-documentation/fundamentals/staff/managing-staff.md) to add staff to your account. Note that staff will need to have allocated service categories/specialties in order for those to be bookable online, see [Assigning Specialties](/simplespa-documentation/fundamentals/staff/assigning-specialties.md), if visiting the appointments page you will be prompted to add a staff in the system in order to start using SimpleSpa
