Industries

Set up for your kind of work, not someone else's.

Pick your industry when you sign up and Hours of Business starts with services, hours, booking rules and wording that fit. Clients see "detailer" or "barber", never a word that doesn't belong.

Aviation detailing

Clients send a request with the airport, tail number, aircraft size and departure time. Quote it or schedule it with a crew, over several days if needed, and invoice through Stripe.

Car detailing

Bookings at your shop. Split a coating into prep, cure and finish, and the cure time can go to the next car. Prices start from a sedan; pricing by vehicle size is planned.

Hair salons

Clients book by service or by stylist, and color processing time is filled with shorter services automatically.

Barbershops

Fast online booking with first-available barber and a minimum notice you set. A walk-in queue is planned.

Nail salons

Manicures, pedicures and gel services with realistic times, and clients can take the first available nail tech.

Lawn care

Clients book visits online and your team sees the day at a glance. Recurring visits, crews and routes are planned.

Something else? Start with the general template and rename your team, services and booking page to fit.

Waiting time

Turn waiting time into paid time.

Split each service into steps and mark the ones where your team is free. While a ceramic coating cures or a color develops, that time is offered to the next client, so two jobs fit where one used to.

  • Split any service into steps, like prep, cure and finish
  • Only genuine openings are ever offered
  • Clean-up time per service, not one rule for all

Booking page

A booking page that turns visits into appointments.

Clients choose a service or the person they like, see real times, and book in under a minute. Businesses that quote first get a request form instead. No app, no account, no back-and-forth messages.

  • Your logo, color, cover photo and font
  • Book by service or by team member, or send a request
  • Private link to reschedule or cancel

Team calendar

One calendar the whole team runs on.

A column per person. Click to book a walk-in or a phone call, drag to move, and see waiting time at a glance. Everyone sets their own hours, breaks and days off.

  • Staff see their own column, owners see everyone
  • Schedule changes flag affected bookings, never drop them
  • Refreshes on its own through the day

Everything the front desk does, without the front desk.

Clients manage their own visits

Every confirmation has a private link to reschedule or cancel, inside the rules you set.

Your rules, enforced

Booking window, minimum notice, cancellation cutoff and reschedule limits.

Works with your website

Paste one line to add a Book now button to any site, or share your page link.

Confirmations and reminders, sent for you

From your business's name the moment they book, and again the day before. Replies go straight to you.

Roles for the whole team

Owners, managers and staff each see what they need, and nothing more.

Built for phones first

Most clients book from their phone. The booking page is designed for it.

Questions owners ask

Do my clients need an account?

No. Clients book with their name, email and phone. Their confirmation email has a private link to change or cancel.

Can I use it with my existing website?

Yes. Copy one line of code from your settings to add a Book now button, or link to your booking page from anywhere.

Which businesses is it for?

Appointment- and job-based service businesses: aviation and car detailing, hair and nail salons, barbershops and lawn care, each with its own template. Anything else starts from a general template you rename to fit.

What if a service has waiting time in it?

Split the service into steps and mark the ones that leave your team free, like a coating curing or a color processing. Those gaps are offered to other clients automatically.

What about payments and text messages?

Card payments, deposits, no-show fees and invoices run through Stripe as optional modules, being tested with pilot businesses now. Text confirmations and reminders are coming next; clients can already opt in when they book.

Is my business's data kept separate?

Yes. Every business's clients and bookings are isolated from every other business's, down to the database.
