Booktender keeps the book.
Squeeze the name and it becomes the mark: a spine and two blocks, a book and the appointments in it. The nav does the same when you scroll.
Like a bartender who knows everyone's usual and keeps the room moving, a booktender tends the shop's book.
It answers the phone, knows the regulars, and keeps every booking in one place: the calendar, the walk-ins, the texts and the checkout. Booktender is built in Calgary, Alberta.

What we build it to do.
The phone shouldn't cost you a booking.
A barber with clippers in hand can't answer. Every call your booktender takes ends somewhere you can see: a booking, a message for you, or a question answered.
The calendar is the truth.
Your booking page, the phone, texts and the front desk all book against one live calendar, and the database refuses a time that's already taken.
You stay in charge of the AI.
It says it's an AI, it hands callers to a person or takes a message when asked, and every call is in your log afterwards.
Fast for people mid-cut.
The things you do all day take a tap or two on a phone, and the screens show what you need at a glance.
Plain about money.
One price per location, in Canadian dollars, with no commission and no per-barber fees. What the pricing page says is what you pay, plus GST.
