A calendar with your real openings
Customers see only what's actually free and book it. Your calendar updates itself: no double bookings and no calls while you've got someone in the chair.
Barbershops and salons
Website for a barbershop with online booking
A calendar that shows your real openings, a reminder the day before, and customers who book themselves from their phone, at 11 p.m. if they want. Describe your shop in one line and Yodai has it live this afternoon.

What a barbershop website needs
Not a brochure with a phone number at the bottom. Your calendar, your services and your payments, in the same place customers already look for you.
A reminder the day before
Automatic, over WhatsApp, so people show up. It's the difference between a Saturday with gaps and a Saturday that's full.
Services with a price and a duration
Haircut, beard trim, cut and beard, kids' cut, hot-towel shave. Each with its price and the time it takes, so the calendar adds up on its own.
Booking from WhatsApp
"Got anything Saturday morning?" The bot answers with your open slots, books the appointment and writes it in your calendar. You step in only when the customer asks for a person.
A deposit at booking
People who put money down show up. On the Business plan you charge part of the appointment when it's booked, by card, and the money lands in your usual account.
Found by people a few blocks away
A Google listing with your hours and your map, so you show up when someone searches "barbershop near me".

What we learned charging for appointments
From the Yodai blog: the decisions behind the calendar, and why.
3 minCharge a Deposit at Booking, Not on ArrivalCharging a small deposit when someone books filters out no-shows and keeps your schedule from bleeding empty slots.

Do I need to know how to code?
No. You describe your shop in one line and Yodai builds it and publishes it. After that you change services, prices and photos from the dashboard, on your phone, without touching code.
How does booking work?
The customer sees the slots that are actually open, picks a day and time and confirms. The appointment goes into your calendar and they get an automatic reminder the day before. Bookings, with an email reminder the day before, are included from the free plan.
Can I charge for the appointment upfront?
Yes, if you sell it as a service with its price: the customer pays by card on the site and the money lands in your account. Calendar bookings themselves are taken without payment for now.
Does the WhatsApp bot answer on my number?
Yes. It answers on your own number, with your prices and your hours, and hands you the conversation when the customer asks for a person. It learns from your services: it doesn't invent prices or openings.
What if I have several barbers or several locations?
On the Business plan you run up to 5 shops, each with its own site, and your team gets their own login to see orders and bookings.
Is the site mine?
Yes. On the Pro plan the domain stays in your name and the site carries no Yodai branding. You change the copy and the photos whenever you want.
