Scheduling & Bookings
Let your clients book online, 24/7. Manage your calendar with ease.
BizBrew's scheduling and booking system gives your clients a beautiful online booking page where they can see availability, pick a time, and confirm instantly. Behind the scenes, you get a powerful calendar that supports multiple staff members, resources, and locations. Require booking deposits to reduce no-shows, add automatic buffer gaps between appointments for setup and travel, and offer optional add-on services at checkout to increase average booking value. Manual approval workflows let you review and confirm requests before they're finalised, while abandoned booking recovery re-engages clients who started but didn't complete their booking. Automated reminders via email and SMS reduce no-shows even further, and waitlist management fills cancelled slots automatically.

Frequently asked questions
Can clients book online without calling?
Yes. Your branded booking page is available 24/7. Clients select a service, pick a time slot, and confirm — all without needing to call.
How do automated reminders work?
BizBrew sends email and SMS reminders at configurable intervals (e.g., 24 hours and 2 hours before). This typically reduces no-shows by 30–40%.
Can I manage multiple staff calendars?
Absolutely. Each staff member has their own calendar with availability settings. Clients can book with a specific person or let the system assign anyone available.
Can I require a deposit to confirm a booking?
Yes. You can require a full or partial upfront payment, or place a card hold that is only captured if the client no-shows. Deposits dramatically reduce last-minute cancellations.
What is buffer time and why would I need it?
Buffer time is an automatic gap added before or after each booking. Use it to give yourself time to prepare for the next client, travel between locations, or clean and reset your space.
How does abandoned booking recovery work?
When a client starts filling out the booking form but doesn't complete it, BizBrew sends an automated follow-up message with a direct link back to their unfinished booking. This typically recovers 10–20% of abandoned sessions.
