Scheduling & Bookings
Let your clients book online, 24/7. Manage your calendar with ease.
BizBrew's scheduling and booking system gives your clients an online booking page where they can see availability, pick a time and confirm. Behind the scenes you get a calendar that supports multiple staff members, resources and locations, with drag-and-drop rescheduling. Charge a deposit per service when clients book online to reduce no-shows, add automatic buffer gaps between appointments for setup and travel, and require manual approval before a booking is confirmed. Abandoned booking recovery follows up with clients who started but didn't finish a booking, automated email and SMS reminders reduce no-shows further, and a waitlist lets clients queue for full slots.

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 the times you set in your reminder rules (e.g., 24 hours and 2 hours before the appointment).
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. Set a deposit on a service and clients pay it online through Stripe when they book. Collecting deposits for bookings you create yourself in the admin is coming soon.
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.
