Booktender keeps the book.

Booktender

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.
