Online booking system

Bookings without phone calls

Customers book their own slot, no phone calls and no emails. An online calendar, automatic confirmations, SMS reminders and occupancy stats. Fewer no-shows, more free time.

What the service covers

What the booking system covers in the customer journey The customer journey has three phases. The first one, looking for where to go, is not covered by a booking system, it is handled by the website, local SEO and the Google business profile. The second and third phase, booking a slot and showing up for it, are covered by the booking system. 01 LOOKING FOR WHERE TO GO 02 WANTS TO BOOK 03 SHOWS UP HANDLED BY WEBSITE AND SEO website · local SEO · business profile HANDLED BY THE BOOKING SYSTEM online calendar · confirmations · reminders What the booking system covers in the customer journey The customer journey has three phases.

Bookio manages the people who have already decided to come.
We work on bringing new ones in.

We connect a booking system directly to your website. Bookio, Reservio and platforms like them handle the second and third phase well and have been running for years. We set them up around your services and hours and embed them so booking feels like part of the site, not a jump to someone else's domain. Building the same thing from scratch would cost more, break more easily and give you nothing extra.

The difference is in that first phase, and no booking system solves it. We covered why a website alone is not enough in why your website is not bringing in customers. That is what a website and local SEO are for, and we wrote it up in Local SEO for businesses in Bratislava. A completed booking is a conversion like any other, it can just be measured more precisely.

We checked for ourselves that the second phase is not a given. When we went through 40 salon websites in Bratislava, 24 of them had no online booking. A customer who wants to book in the evening has no way to do it.


What's included

Everything we set up

01

Online calendar

Customers see the open slots and book in one click. No waiting for a reply.

02

Automatic confirmations

An email and SMS confirmation right after booking. A reminder the day before, so fewer appointments get missed.

03

Client management

Booking history, notes, preferences. An overview of every client in one place.

04

Configurable time slots

Working hours, breaks, public holidays, time off. Full control over availability.

05

Online payments

A deposit or full payment at the time of booking. Noticeably fewer no-shows.

06

Statistics

An overview of occupancy, your most popular services, peak hours. Plan by the data.


Process

How do we launch your bookings?

01

Service audit

We map out your services, prices, durations and any specific booking rules.

02

Configuration

We set the system up: services, prices, working hours, exceptions, rules.

03

Website integration

We add the booking widget to your website and a booking link to your Google Business Profile.

04

Launch

We test every scenario, walk you through it and go live. You can handle any further changes yourself.

What it costs

You pay once, the system keeps working.

The setup is a one-time item with no monthly fee from us. Once the platform is running, it takes bookings even while you are closed, and that is most of the day.

249 €

One-off for the setup

Included in the price

  • Mapping out services, prices, durations and booking rules
  • Setting up the platform account in your name
  • Configuring services, working hours and exceptions
  • Confirmation and reminder copy in Slovak, in your tone of voice
  • A booking widget on the website and a booking link in your Google Business Profile
  • Testing the scenarios, training and go-live

You pay the platform subscription directly to the platform, not to us and with no markup. We can also connect a payment gateway if you want a deposit up front. The fee for payments is then charged by the gateway provider.

When you need less

An appointment request form 149 €

No live calendar. The customer sends the times that suit them and you confirm the slot. It makes sense with a few appointments a month, when you can handle them yourself and do not want to pay a monthly platform subscription.

When you need more

A custom solution from 1 490 €

When an off-the-shelf platform really does not fit: connecting to a system you already use, an unusual process, or several locations with their own rules. That is custom development and we quote the price after a consultation.

The exact figure depends on how many services you have and what rules your appointments follow. An overview of every service is on the pricing page.

Questions we get before anyone signs

A booking system from us means we set up a booking platform such as Bookio or Reservio and connect it to your website: services, hours and exceptions, automatic confirmations and reminders, a notification for every new booking and, if you want a deposit up front, a payment gateway. The setup costs from 249 € as a one-time, and you pay the platform subscription directly to the platform.

When is a simple form enough?

When you have a few appointments a month and can handle them over the phone. An appointment request form is cheaper and faster in that case, from 149 € with us, and it has no monthly subscription.

A system starts to pay off once bookings begin to cost you time: when you copy appointments into the calendar by hand, call people to confirm, and lose track of who is coming when.

What if a customer books and does not show up?

That is why the system sends an automatic confirmation and a reminder before the appointment. Most no-shows are not ill will, just forgetfulness.

If it keeps happening anyway, we can connect the system to a payment gateway so the customer leaves a deposit up front. That is the most reliable way to bring no-shows down.

Can I manage it myself?

Yes. You edit services, prices and opening hours yourself, without us and without any coding. Phone bookings can be entered manually and the system sends a confirmation to people who booked over the phone too.

Every new booking sends you a notification and the appointment goes straight into your calendar.

Where the booking shows up

For a booking to be offered right in the search results, the page needs correct structured data following Google's structured data documentation.
