Calls ring your shop as usual. If you'd rather keep the booktender answering, turn on auto-refill: it adds a 100-minute pack for CA$15 when you need one. Plan minutes reset each month; pack minutes roll over for 12 months.
Prices are in Canadian dollars before GST, which is added to your invoice (5% in Alberta). Booktenderdoesn't process your clients' card payments: you take cards on your own terminal and record them at checkout, so we add no card fees.
No. Pay monthly, or yearly with 2 months free. Cancel in the app whenever you like; it takes effect at the end of the period you've paid for.
When the trial ends you pick a plan. If you don't, the shop goes read-only for 7 days, then pauses with its data kept. No card is needed to start, so nothing is charged until you choose a plan.
You do. Download all of it (clients and their numbers, appointments, sales and payments, team, services and locations) from Settings at any time, including while a shop is paused.
Yes. Your booktender has its own line, and you choose how calls reach it: forward the calls you don't answer (and after-hours calls) from your number, or move your number over so every call reaches it first and rings the shop when your settings say so.
Shop phone numbers connect at launch. Today the booktender answers in our test console and in scripted test calls against a sample shop.
Yes. Every call opens with: “Thanks for calling {your shop}, this is {its name}, the shop's AI assistant. Calls are transcribed to help with bookings. How can I help?” The AI-assistant line can't be switched off.
You decide whether calls are transcribed. With transcription off, no transcript is kept; the log keeps the outcome, the booking and a short summary.
The providers that process data for us, what each does and where, are listed on the Security page. The voice model and call transcription run at OpenAI in the United States, and callers are told calls are transcribed.
Setup is guided: name your shop and it starts with a barbershop menu and hours you can edit, then add your barbers by name (they can sign in later). Questions go to hello@booktender.app. The first 25 Calgary shops also get a free switch-over: we move your clients, services, team and future bookings for you.
Not yet. Booktender is in English and built for Alberta shops first, starting in Calgary. It isn't offered in Quebec.
14-day trial with 100 AI minutes and 500 texts, no card needed.
Prices in CAD, per location, GST extra, as of October 25, 2026. Monthly plans renew each month and yearly plans each year; cancel in the app any time and it takes effect at the end of the period you've paid for. The full terms are in the Terms of service.
Booktender doesn't process your clients' card payments, so it adds no card fees. Minute estimates assume calls of about 90 seconds.
