Appointment app

Appointment scheduling that fits how salons really work.

Staff rosters, buffer and processing time, fixed or flexible time slots and reminders that go out on their own — so the book stays full and nobody is double-booked.

More than a calendar

Most appointment systems stop at a time and a name. Salons need more: the gap after a service to clean the station, the processing time when the chair is free for someone else, a technician's day off and a lunch break that online clients must not book into.

Ukilu's appointment system knows all of that. Online bookings only offer times that are really free, the calendar shows every staff member side by side, and you can review online bookings before the confirmation goes out. Owners see the same calendar on iPhone and on the web dashboard.

What's included

Everything in one app.

All of it on the iPad at your counter, with a web dashboard for the office.

Day and week views

One column per staff member with colours by service and the current time marked.

Buffer & processing time

Clean-up time after a service, and processing gaps where the chair is free for another client.

Fixed or flexible slots

On-the-hour sessions for treatments, or slots that follow each service's length.

Rosters, breaks & days off

Work schedules per staff member, with breaks and off days the booking page respects.

Any-staff bookings

Show one name like "Any therapist" online and let Ukilu place the booking in a real column.

Approve before confirming

Review online bookings before the confirmation SMS goes out — handy for new clients.
