Start 14-day trial

Changelog

What we've built, dated by the day it was finished.

Shop phone numbers connect at launch. Today the booktender answers in our test console and in scripted test calls against a sample shop.

  1. Prices, and the Calgary founding offer

    • Two plans priced per location: Shop and Shop + Phone, with minute packs and yearly billing at two months free.
    • A founding offer for the first 25 Calgary shops.
    • This website.

  2. Subscriptions, trials and your data

    • A 14-day trial with everything on; when it ends unpaid, the shop goes read-only, then pauses with its data kept.
    • Billing in Settings, with cancelling in the app.
    • Download all of a shop's data from Settings, even while paused.
    • Support sees a shop's clients and calls only while the owner grants access.

  3. Faster booking, walk-ins and setup

    • One composer for bookings, walk-ins and blocked time that opens where you clicked, with Book the usual and Undo.
    • A walk-in queue with wait estimates.
    • Guided shop setup with a starter menu, hours and your team, and a checklist to get ready to open.
    • Team pages with each person's services, prices, hours, time off and pay; services and client profiles with cut notes.

  4. Texts, reminders and the waitlist

    • Confirmations, change notices, two reminders and a thank-you, each editable or switched off.
    • A two-way text inbox per location, with C to confirm and R to reschedule; STOP always works.
    • A waitlist that offers a freed-up time by text, first to claim it gets it.

  5. The AI receptionist

    • The booktender: books, moves and cancels during the call against the live calendar, recognises regulars and checks who's calling before touching a booking.
    • Phone settings per location: when it answers, its name and voice, what it may do, and notes to answer from.
    • A call log with each call's outcome, summary and transcript, and the live call on the calendar.
    • A test console to talk to it from the browser. Shop phone numbers connect at launch.

  6. Checkout, pay and earnings

    • Checkout with tips, discounts, GST and split payments, and refunds and corrections with a reason.
    • Pay plans with dates: commission, hourly pay and chair rent for booth renters.
    • Earnings for everyone across their shops, and reports for owners.

  7. Online booking, shop screens and several shops

    • Each shop's own booking page with its logo, colour and cover, and links to reschedule or cancel.
    • Front-desk shop screens that book and check out but can't see money totals, pay or settings.
    • Invites, people who work at several shops, and My day across all of them.

  8. The calendar

    • Day and week calendars with barbers as columns, live on every screen, drag to move and Undo.
    • Availability that respects hours, breaks, time off and other bookings; the database refuses a taken time.
    • Alberta's new year-round clock from November 1, 2026, handled throughout.
