Features

Everything Bookting does

The full list — what each feature does and where to find it. Most things live in your dashboard under Modules or the matching tab.

Booking engine

The stuff your customers touch

Step-by-step booking page
Every venue gets a branded booking page at bookting.co.uk/book/your-name — and your-name.bookting.co.uk too. Customers pick a service, a day, a time, and they're booked.
Services, classes & events
Appointments (one at a time), classes (groups, capacity limits) and one-off events with early-bird pricing — each with its own duration, price and capacity.
Extras & add-ons
Optional paid extras customers tick at checkout — "add gel nails +£10", "party bag +£5".
Party size & group bookings
Price per person or per booking, cap the group size, and let one customer book for a whole party.
Promo codes & vouchers
Customers redeem discount codes and gift vouchers right in the booking flow — balances are checked and deducted automatically.
Custom questions
Ask anything at checkout — text, yes/no, or dropdown ("first visit?", "how did you hear about us?"). Answers show on the booking in your dashboard.
Waitlist
When a slot's full, customers join the waitlist with one tap. If someone cancels, everyone on it gets emailed a "a slot just opened" link.
Session bundles
Customers pre-buy a block of sessions ("5 classes for £80") and redeem one per booking — you get paid up front.
Memberships
Recurring weekly/monthly membership plans customers join on your page — members get flagged in your dashboard and can get member pricing.
Waiver signing
Require a typed signature before confirming — customers sign as part of booking.
Manage-link self-service
Every booking comes with a manage link: view, cancel, reschedule, add to calendar, leave a review — no login needed.
Popular & scarcity badges
Busy days show "X left" and the most-booked times get a POPULAR badge — gentle FOMO that converts.
Customer accounts
Repeat customers can log in to see all their bookings across venues and rebook in one tap.

Payments

How money moves

Pay online or on arrival
Turn on card payments whenever you're ready — money lands straight in your bank. Or stay pay-on-arrival forever, free.
Deposits
Take a fixed amount or a % up front; the customer pays the balance on the day. Balance pay-links are automatic.
Card-guarantee
Don't charge, just hold a deposit on the customer's card — captured only if they no-show, released when they arrive or cancel.
Cancellation windows & fees
Block online cancels inside 2–72h and keep a % of the refund as a cancellation fee — set and forget.
In-page checkout
Payments happen right on your booking page — customers never get bounced somewhere else.
Per-venue payouts
Multiple venues? Each connects its own payout account, or you share one.

Reminders & messaging

Fewer no-shows, less admin

Email reminders
Customers get automatic confirmation + reminder emails before their visit — from your own domain look.
SMS reminders & confirmations
Buy text credits, and customers get booking confirmations plus "see you today" texts. Falls back to email if a text can't send.
SMS & email blasts
Send a promo or announcement to your whole customer list in one go — email is free, texts use credits.
Review booster
A few hours after their visit, customers get an email asking for a review — 4★+ reviewers get nudged to share it on Google too.
Rebook nudge
About a month after a visit, customers get a "ready for your next one?" email linking straight back to book.
Abandoned-booking recovery
Someone starts booking, doesn't finish? They get a "finish your booking" email with their slot held.
Booking questions per service
Attach intake questions to specific services — answers appear on the booking.

Running the venue

Your day-to-day dashboard

Today command centre
Arrivals, checked-in count, today's takings and a 7-day revenue chart at the top of your day.
Walk-ins
Add bookings in seconds for people who call or walk up — same capacity checks as online.
QR check-in
Every booking has a QR code — scan at the door to check people in and see the list tick off.
Staff & shifts
Add staff, set their shifts, assign bookings to them, and see everyone's day in a side-by-side rota.
Team logins
Staff get their own login with access to the day-to-day tabs only — settings and payouts stay yours.
Tables / resources
Assign bookings to tables, rooms or lanes so capacity is never double-booked.
Customer book
Every customer ever booked, searchable — notes, tags, VIP flags, booking history, CSV export.
Booking limits
Cap how many bookings one customer can hold per week or month — blocks serial no-shows from hoarding slots.
Analytics
Bookings and revenue by service, busiest-day chart, peak-times heatmap, repeat-customer rate.
Venue health grade
An A–F score in your dashboard with plain tips on what to improve (fill rate, reviews, repeat rate).
Opening hours editor
Toggle switches per day + weekday/weekend presets — set hours in seconds.
Modules
Turn features off you don't use — they disappear from your dashboard and booking page.
Clone venue

Notification prefs
Choose which venue emails you get and when — quiet hours included.
