A booking system
your spa owns —
not one that takes
a cut of every booking.
Most spa booking platforms charge 3–5% commission on every appointment. Some take 20% on new clients. We build custom booking engines you own outright — one build, no ongoing cut. Treatment menus, practitioner schedules, room allocation, package deals, gift vouchers, deposits, all integrated with your existing website.
How much is your booking system actually costing you?
Enter rough numbers. We'll show you what your current platform skims off every year — and how fast a one-time custom build pays for itself.
Build costs vary $8K–$18K depending on practitioners, integrations, and whether we build the clinic website too. Audit gives you an exact number.
Three steps. No nonsense.
We audit your current setup
15-minute call: what platform you're on, what it costs (subscription + commission + add-ons), what your booking flow looks like today, what you wish it did.
We design your booking engine
Custom to your spa — treatment menus, practitioner schedules, room allocation, package deals, gift vouchers, deposits, automated reminders.
We build, launch, and hand over
Live on your domain, integrated with your existing website. We handle the migration from Fresha or Timely. You own the code, the data, every booking.
