BossBooks — Be the boss of your books

The problem

You're renting your own business.

Every month you pay them — and own nothing. Here's the bit the big booking apps don't shout about:

✕

Marketplace fees on new clients

Fresha charge a one-off 20% (minimum £4) when their marketplace sends you someone new. Treatwell take 35% plus VAT on a first booking. Ours is £0, on everyone, always.

✕

You're just a listing

On Nearcut and Booksy your shop sits in their app, next to your competitors. Their brand, not yours.

✕

You'll never own your list

Your customers belong to them. Walk away and you start from zero.

What you get

Everything they do — but it's yours.

One flat fee. Your brand, your customers, your app, your money.

Your own website

Custom-built around your shop, on your own domain.

Full booking system

Pick barber, pick a time, booked. Walk-ins, reschedules, the lot.

Your own app

A real app with your name on it, on the App Store and Google Play.

CancellationWatch

A slot gets cancelled? Customers get pinged instantly so it fills itself.

Auto reminders

No-shows drop off a cliff. Clients get a nudge before every appointment.

Card payments, in your appNew

CancellationWatch

Someone cancels their 2pm — every customer watching for a slot gets a ping. The gap fills itself, often within minutes. An empty chair is money gone.

Reminders that kill no-shows

An automatic nudge the day before. Clients turn up, your day runs on time.

Get paid, get the ping

Take a card payment in your app and it lands in your account — confirmed on the spot.

Live, right now

Chop Shop 86 runs on this.

"It's my brand on the door and my brand in their pocket now — not someone else's."

Don't take our word for it — go and look around the real thing, then picture it in your name.

FAQ

The bits barbers ask.

Yes — your website, app and customer list are all yours. Stop paying and you keep your data; we just stop hosting and supporting it.

We migrate them across from Nearcut, Fresha or Booksy for free, so day one you're not starting from scratch.

Not at all. You fill one form, we build and launch the lot.

Plug a Square reader into your BossBooks app and take the card payment there — it logs against the booking and the money lands in your account. (Rolling out across BossBooks shops now.)
