What it does

Capabilities that matter on day one

  • Online booking everywhere

    Hosted booking page, embed for your existing site, Instagram and Facebook "Book" buttons, and Reserve with Google integration. Same calendar across every channel.

  • Deposit-required slots

    Configure flat or % deposits per service. Customer agrees to your cancellation policy at booking; Square charges the deposit at the time of booking.

  • Automated SMS + email reminders

    Custom timing (24 hours before, 2 hours before), customer can confirm or reschedule with one tap. Reduces no-shows ~20–30% on its own.

  • Per-staff calendars + walk-in queue

    Each team member has their own services, hours, and rate sheet. Toggle a tech to walk-in available; queue auto-fills around their booked clients.

  • Recurring appointments + waitlists

    Standing weekly cuts, monthly facials, recurring training sessions — all set once. Waitlists auto-fill cancellations from your high-priority customers.

  • Group bookings + multi-service

    Wedding party books five chairs at once. Spa day stacks three services for one customer. Square handles the calendar math.
