you man a booth, or you are manning a booth. In this case, the double 'n' is used because of the German roots of the word.
And just to prove it, it will even go through the spell checker...

It is "manning", but a better expression might be to say "to staff a booth"." The booth needs to have a staff/volunteer/operator member during this time" for example.

The rule is a short vowel in an accented syllable requires a double consonant. Single syllable words are always considered accented.
For example traveling not travelling because the tra is the accented syllable.
to can - short, accented - canning
to cane - long accented - caning
