This setting helps you add extra time added to an appointment duration that the service providers use to finish up or prepare for the next appointment.

For example: 

You run a yoga class and its service time is 1 hour but it takes 10 minutes afterwards to clean up  and 10 minutes to prepare for the next class. So you add 10 minutes in the Buffer time before and 10 minutes in the  Buffer time after for an appointment.

As a result, it takes 20 minutes to get the next time slot on your booking form. For instance: 8:00-9:00, 9:20-10:20,…
