Stop No-Shows with Deposits
and Automated Reminders.

Sound familiar?
If any of these are costing you money, an online booking system with deposits and reminders is the fix.
Clients don't show up
You block out an hour, prepare the room, and they never arrive. That's lost income you can never get back.
You miss calls while working
You're mid-treatment or on a job and can't answer. By the time you call back, they've booked elsewhere.
You're chasing payments
Unpaid invoices, awkward conversations, and money that never quite arrives. It drains your time and your energy.
A booking system that protects your time
Every feature is designed to do one thing, fill your diary and keep clients showing up.
24/7 Self-Service Booking
Clients book their own appointments any time of day or night, even while you sleep. Your live availability updates instantly so you never get double-booked.
Take Deposits Upfront
Require a deposit or full payment at the moment of booking. When clients have skin in the game, no-shows drop dramatically and your time is protected.
Automated Reminders
Text and email reminders go out before every appointment, automatically. Clients get a gentle nudge, you get a fuller diary, and forgotten bookings become a thing of the past. (See note at bottom of page)
Stop No-Shows Dead
Deposits plus reminders are the proven one-two punch against no-shows. When a client has paid a deposit and received a reminder, they show up, every time.
Online Payments
Take card payments, deposits, and balances online. Money lands in your account automatically, no chasing, no awkward conversations, no unpaid invoices.
Manage From Your Phone
See your diary, approve bookings, message clients, and take payments from one app on your phone. Your whole schedule in your pocket, wherever you are.
Built for businesses that take appointments
If your income depends on clients showing up at the right time, this system pays for itself.

How it works
Four simple steps, and we handle every bit of the setup.
Client Books Online
A client visits your website, picks their service and a time slot that suits them, and pays a deposit to lock it in, all without you being involved.
You Both Get Confirmed
An instant confirmation lands in their inbox and yours. The booking drops straight into your live diary so your calendar is always accurate.
Reminders Send Themselves
A text and email reminder goes out automatically before the appointment. No-shows fall away, and your client walks through the door on time.
You Get Paid & Reviewed
The balance is collected, and a polite request for a Google review goes out after the appointment. Your diary, your money, and your reputation, all handled.
Deposits + Reminders = Full Diary
A deposit gives clients a reason to show up. A reminder makes sure they don't forget. Together, they're the most effective way to protect your time and your income.

Questions, answered
How do deposits stop no-shows?
When a client pays a deposit at the time of booking, they have a financial reason to show up. Combined with an automated reminder before the appointment, no-shows typically drop by 70% or more. You keep the deposit if they don't turn up, so your time is never wasted.
Can clients book 24/7 without phoning me?
Yes. Your booking system is live on your website around the clock. Clients can see your real-time availability, pick a slot, and pay a deposit at 2am if they like. You wake up to a full diary instead of a full voicemail.
Do the reminders really reduce no-shows?
They do. Most no-shows are simply forgotten bookings, not deliberate. An automatic text and email reminder a day or two before the appointment is the single most effective way to remind clients and keep your diary full.
Can I take full payment instead of just a deposit?
Absolutely. You can require a deposit, full payment, or let clients pay on the day. It's entirely up to you, and you can set different rules for different services. The system is built to fit how you already work.
