For barbershops
A receptionist that picks up on the first ring, at any hour, and writes the booking straight into the diary at your counter. It quotes your prices, knows who is on which chair, and never invents anything.
A month free. No card.
The arithmetic
You cannot answer the phone with your hands in someone's hair, and the person ringing does not leave a message. They ring the next shop.
Rough industry figures, not ours. Yours will be on your own numbers page a week in.
What it does
At six in the morning, on a Sunday, or while all three chairs are full.
The same one at your counter. If a slot is gone it cannot be offered, so a chair is never sold twice.
Every price and time it says was read from your data a second earlier. It would rather admit it does not know.
And then
A message the day before, so the chair is not empty at five o'clock on a Friday.
When somebody cancels, whoever wanted that slot hears about it straight away.
Takings, no-show rate, busiest hours, and how each chair is doing.
What it said, to whom, and what came of it. No guessing.
Rewrite any answer it gives. Set how chatty it is. It never changes a price.
Your own page for customers who would rather tap than talk.
Try to catch it out. Ask for a time you know is gone, or for a person. It is quicker to hear than to read about.
