Open your diary provides a simple, low cost, easy to use online appointment system for small businesses. It costs nothing to set up and receive bookings, we just charge a few pence per booking you accept, so you only pay if you have work coming in.
We've included SMS and email reminders to cut down on forgotten appointments and template businesses so you can be up and running in a couple of minutes.
Dawn runs a village based childcare service for working families.
Dawn offers two childcare services, a day nursery in the old school house and a baby sitting service in clients’ own homes. She advertises both services using the Open Your Dairy website and via adverts in the local parish magazine.
Dawn’s customers love the online booking but they mainly use it for the babysitting service because they can quickly see if their is a sitter free and they don’t have to spend time ringing round trying to find someone.
Dawn likes the service because she can vet the clients her sitters are working for prior to a booking and she has set an alert so she knows to check that a sitter has turned up and when they should be finishing so she can make quick calls to check everything is OK.
