Why salons switch

  • 0% on your card paymentsBOOCT takes nothing from what you take at the desk or online. Only your provider’s own fee applies.
  • No commissionBOOCT never takes commission on your bookings.
  • Every feature, one price per personNo tiers to climb. From $30 a month.
  • Clients and bookings moved freeWhen you join, send us your export and we’ll bring your clients, services, team and bookings across.

The calendar

A calendar your front desk can read at a glance.

We built BOOCT for our own salon first. So every booking leads with what the front desk needs: the start time, then the client, the service and the room. And the buffers you set between appointments stay put.

The BOOCT day calendar for Serenity Day Spa on Thursday 29 October, one column per team member on a quarter-hour grid. Tom Ng’s 11:15 brow wax and tint with Emma is dragged down to 12:00; it is refused because Room 1 is booked until 12:30 by James’s client, and the booking stays where it was. It is then dragged to 11:30, where it lands. A message reads “Moved Tom Ng to 11:30 am. Tom gets the new time in 10 s”, with Don’t send and Undo buttons; Don’t send is tapped, and the message reads “Moved. Tom won’t be told”, with Undo still offered.
  1. A column for everyone

    Each person gets a full, readable column. A bigger team scrolls sideways, so nobody’s squeezed into a sliver.

  2. Quarter hours, at a glance

    Every 15 minutes is marked, with half-hour lines that adjust as you zoom. Nothing to set up.

  3. Drag to move. One tap to undo.

    Move a booking to a new time and BOOCT checks the room and equipment first. Then it’s one tap to undo it, or to keep the change quiet.

Online booking

Booked at 10:47 pm, while you were asleep.

Your own booking page takes bookings day and night, with a deposit if you want one, and drops them straight into your calendar.

  1. Open all night

    Clients pick the service, the person and the time from your link, all in your logo and palette.

  2. A deposit, paid to you

    Ask for a deposit, a card on file or the full amount, paid into the Stripe or Square account you connect at launch.

  3. Waiting for you in the morning

    It’s already in the right person’s column. Nothing to copy across.

02In the treatment room

Consent & intake forms

Forms signed before they sit down.

  • A reminder goes out 24 hours before if a form’s still unsigned
  • Paper forms can be uploaded to the client’s record

03Keeping the book full

  • Rooms and equipment at Serenity Day Spa, Surry Hills: each room with its photo and what it’s used for, and whether it’s in use right now. The couples suite has both its places in use.

    Rooms & equipment

    Never double-book the couples suite.

Switching

Switch from Fresha, Timely or Mindbody, free.

When BOOCT opens, import your clients, services, team and products yourself, from Square or any other system too. Your bookings come across when we do the move for you, free. Treatment records, forms and photos stay in your old system for now. Move across yourself in a few steps, or hand it to us and we’ll do it for free.

  1. 01
    Import it yourself

    Upload the export from your current system and BOOCT walks you through matching up your clients, services, team and products. Or send it to us and we’ll do it, free, bookings included.

  2. 02
    You check everything first

    See your clients, services, team and bookings in BOOCT and tell us what to fix, before anything is final.

  3. 03
    Originals untouched

    Your old system and your export stay exactly as they were. Leave any time and take your data.

Team & pay

From the roster to the pay run.

Plan the week’s roster, then your team clocks in on the salon iPad with their name and PIN. Hours land on their timesheets, you approve the ones that are ready, and the pay run adds up what everyone’s earned.

  1. Roster the week

    Shifts and leave for the whole team, in one weekly view. Changes stay a draft until you publish them.

  2. Clock in at the desk

    Tap your name, enter your PIN, press Enter. Or clock in from the staff app.

  3. Approve timesheets

    Hours come straight from the clock. A missed clock-out is flagged for someone to fix, never filled in for you.

  4. Run pay

    Wages, overtime, commission and tips for each person. Review, approve, then export a CSV for your payroll software.

  • Optional photo and location checks at clock-in
  • BOOCT doesn’t pay wages or lodge tax. Your payroll software does that, from the CSV.

Questions

Questions salon owners ask.

Still not sure? Join early access and we’ll walk you through it.

How much does BOOCT salon software cost?

$30 a month for your first team member and $20 for each extra, billed monthly. Every feature’s included, there’s no lock-in and no charge per location. Nothing to pay today.

Is there a lock-in contract?

No. Leave any time, and export your clients, bookings and sales whenever you like.

Can I switch from Fresha, Timely or Mindbody?

Yes. When BOOCT opens, upload your export and it walks you through bringing across your clients, services, team and products. Fresha and Timely exports work as they are; anything else comes in as a spreadsheet. Or send it to us and we’ll do the whole move for you, free, bookings included. Treatment records, forms and photos stay in your old system for now. You check everything before it’s final, and your originals stay untouched.

Can I use my own card terminal?

Yes. At launch you’ll connect your own Stripe or Square account and card reader. BOOCT adds nothing to your card payments; your provider’s own fees apply.

What hardware do I need?

Nothing to start. BOOCT runs in the browser at the desk, on an iPad and on your phone. When you go live, you’ll connect your own Stripe or Square card reader to take card payments.

Do my clients need to download an app?

No. They can book, pay and sign forms from a link. The BOOCT app is there for clients who’d like their bookings, memberships and gift cards in one Wallet.

Does BOOCT take commission on my bookings?

No. BOOCT never takes commission on your bookings.

Does it handle consent forms and treatment records for clinics?

Yes. Build your own consent and intake forms, and clients sign them before they arrive. Chart on face or body diagrams with an Apple Pencil, and keep before and after photos, with photo consent, on each client’s record.

The calm way to run a busy salon.

Everything you need from day one, and help moving across. Nothing to pay today.

We’ll use your email to tell you when BOOCT opens and about early access. See our privacy policy.
