Answers while you work
Replies in seconds, at any hour, so the booking doesn't go to the shop down the road.
Only offers real free times
Checks your hours, your days off, your bookings and how many customers you take at once.
Takes the deposit up front
Mobile Money or card. The slot is held for 30 minutes and let go if nobody pays.
Reminds them before the day
A friendly reminder is the biggest reason a deposit turns into a customer at your door.
Keeps one diary
Replaces the notebook and the "I think I have someone at two".
Answers where you advertise
Instagram and Messenger too. One assistant and one diary behind all three.
Keeps your customer list yours
Staff see only the last four digits of a number. They can work; they cannot copy your book.
No accounts. No keys.
You never touch a payment gateway.
Taking payments and sending texts are the two steps that stop people. Other tools send you off to open an account somewhere and paste in a secret key. We just do it.
- Customers pay through us, by Mobile Money or card
- Send your money to your own MoMo whenever you want
- Text reminders go out on our account, not yours
- Nothing to sign up for, nothing to copy and paste
