Bookings that come in while you are busy working

Every call you miss is an appointment somebody else got. A booking system takes the appointment at eleven at night, holds the slot, takes a deposit if you want one, and reminds the customer so they turn up.

Quote on request. We reply with a scope, a timeline and a price.

The situation this fixes

Appointments are taken on the phone, which means during working hours, by someone who is also doing something else. The diary is a book, or a shared calendar that two people edit.

Double bookings happen. So do no-shows, because nothing reminds anyone. And the customer who wanted to book at nine in the evening simply booked somewhere else.

What you get

Availability that reflects reality

Opening hours, individual staff schedules, holidays, lunch breaks and gaps between appointments. The customer is only shown a slot you can genuinely take.

Booking in under a minute on a phone

Pick a service, pick a time, confirm. No account to create, because making someone register before they can book is how you lose the booking.

Deposits that stop no-shows

Take a deposit or the full amount at booking time, online. The single most effective thing you can do about people not turning up.

Reminders sent automatically

A confirmation immediately, then a reminder before the appointment, so the customer does not forget and you do not have to phone them.

A day view for your staff

Today's appointments on one screen, with reschedules, cancellations and walk-ins added by hand when the phone still rings.

Per-staff or per-resource booking

Book a specific person, a room, a chair or a machine, with each one having its own availability.

Who this suits

  • Clinics, salons, workshops and studios taking appointments by phone
  • Anyone losing bookings because nobody answers outside working hours
  • A business with several staff or rooms where a shared calendar has stopped coping

How it goes

  1. 1

    A call

    Your services, your staff, your opening hours and how long each appointment takes.

  2. 2

    A written scope and price

    Slot rules, payment and reminders, agreed and priced before we start.

  3. 3

    Design you see first

    The booking flow, approved by you on a phone screen before building.

  4. 4

    Build, then a real booking

    You book yourself in, pay the deposit and get the reminder, before launch.

  5. 5

    Handover and training

    Your front desk works a full day on it with us available.

Questions we get asked

Can we still take bookings over the phone?
Yes. Staff add a phone booking to the same diary, so there is one source of truth and no double booking between the two.
Can each staff member have different hours?
Yes. Availability is per staff member or per resource, including individual holidays and part-time days.
Do we have to take payment at booking?
No, it is your choice per service. A deposit is the most effective way to reduce no-shows, but free booking with a reminder is a valid setup.
