Online booking and appointments

Not every business wants the same thing, and not every service inside one business wants the same thing either. A quick haircut can book itself. A four hour tattoo should not.

So the rule is set per service, not per account. A barber can let a fade book instantly and pay in the chair, and still require approval and a deposit for a full colour job. You are never forced into somebody else's idea of how your day works.

Ask first, and you approve every request before the time is held. Good for a cleaner who wants to see the address before saying yes.

Book instantly and pay in person, which is how most barbers, salons and nail studios actually work. Book with a deposit, so a no show costs the client and not you. Book with full payment up front, for classes and sessions. Or set a standing appointment that repeats every week or every two weeks, which is how a cleaner or a trainer keeps a client for a year.

This is the part other booking tools cannot do. If an agency books you for a shoot on Friday, Friday disappears from your public booking page automatically. If a client books a haircut on Saturday morning, the agency sees you are busy.

There is no syncing step and no second calendar to keep in line, because it is one calendar. Your agency work and your own clients write to the same place.

A booking is not a separate silo. It arrives through the same inquiry engine as every other request, so it lands in one inbox with a thread, a history and a client attached.

That also means a conversation can become a booking. Someone messages asking about availability, you propose a time inside the chat, they confirm, and it is on your calendar. No app switching, nothing retyped.

Deposits and prepayment run on payments built in, so the money reaches your bank without a separate processor account or a plugin to install.

You set the cancellation window and what happens if someone does not show. The people who respect your time are unaffected. The ones who waste it stop being free.
