# Flex Resource - Consuming 1qty of a resource per x quantity of a product purchased.
## Learn how to configure a Generic - Flex Allocate resource to automatically reserve shared resources (such as lanes or rooms) based on the quantity of a product purchased. Option 2
Overview
A **Generic - Flex Allocate** resource automatically reserves a specified number of resources based on the quantity of a product purchased.
This resource type is ideal when customers purchase **individual admissions**, but the system needs to reserve shared resources based on the size of the group.
### Common Example
An **axe throwing venue** sells admission **per thrower**, but assigns lanes based on the number of participants.
For example:
- 1–4 throwers = 1 lane reserved
- 5–8 throwers = 2 lanes reserved
- 9–12 throwers = 3 lanes reserved
The system automatically calculates how many lanes are required based on the quantity purchased.
---
Step 1: Create or Edit the Resource
1. Navigate to **Admin Tools → Resources**.
2. Click **Create New Resource**, or edit an existing resource (such as **Throwing Lanes**).
3. Enter the resource information (Name, Description, Capacity, etc.).
4. Under **Resource Type**, select **Generic - Flex Allocate**.
5. Click **Update** to save the resource.
*(Example shown below.)*
---
Step 2: Assign the Resource to a Product
After creating the Flex Resource:
1. Navigate to **Products**.
2. Create a new product or edit an existing one.
3. Assign the **Generic - Flex Allocate** resource to the product.
4. Configure how many participants should consume one resource (for example, **1 lane per 4 participants**).
5. Save the product.
Now, whenever customers purchase this product, High Trek POS will automatically reserve the correct number of resources based on the quantity purchased.
---
Example
If your product is configured for **1 lane per 4 participants**:
| Participants Purchased | Lanes Reserved |
| --- | --- |
| 1–4 | 1 |
| 5–8 | 2 |
| 9–12 | 3 |
| 13–16 | 4 |

Best Uses
A **Generic - Flex Allocate** resource works well for:
- Axe Throwing Lanes
- Escape Rooms sold by the person
- Batting Cages
- Golf Simulators
- Bowling Lanes
- Shooting Lanes
- Shared Tables or Seating
- Any resource where one reservation is shared among multiple participants
This resource type allows you to sell admission **per person** while automatically reserving the appropriate number of shared resources for the group.
