A booking system for a service business: what to include

If customers can only book by calling you, some will not bother. An online booking system works at any hour and stops double bookings.

The core features

  • Services list with duration and price
  • Available slots based on your working hours and breaks
  • Staff or resource selection, if you have more than one
  • Customer details captured once
  • Confirmation and reminders by SMS, email or WhatsApp
  • Cancel and reschedule rules

Useful extras

  • An advance or deposit by UPI to reduce no-shows
  • A calendar view for your team
  • Holiday and leave blocking
  • A customer history

For the admin

You should see the day's bookings at a glance and be able to add, move or cancel one in a few taps on your phone.

Plan the rules first

Decide how far ahead people may book, how long you need between appointments and your cancellation policy. Software can only enforce rules you have written down.

Keep it simple for customers

A booking should take under a minute and work on a phone.
