The problem
Small service businesses lose bookings every time the phone rings during a haircut. The fix isn't another app for the owner to check; it's something that answers for them.
01
Answer every call
Each business gets its own phone number and an AI receptionist with a voice they choose. It knows the services, staff and the business's local time, books into the real calendar, and calls customers back with reminders and follow-ups.
02
A week at a glance
Owners see the whole week across staff, with today's bookings that need attention pulled to the top. Everything a front desk does (reschedule, take payment, look up a regular) is one step from the calendar.
03
Book without an account, find it with a code
Customers book from the studio's own page without signing up, and get a six-character code instead of a login. That code is all they need to view, change or pay for a reservation.
