Bookings

Round robin scheduling software for small teams

Share one booking link and new bookings go to each team member in turn, so work is shared fairly and clients see the next available person.

Start free

Free plan, no card needed. Or book a demo.

One link, the whole team

When several people can take the same kind of booking, a single shared link is easier for clients than a list of names. The question is who gets each booking.

startbuddi's booking rotation shares incoming bookings with everyone in it. Each person sets their own hours, clients see "Next available host", and anyone with no hours set is always eligible. Reports show how bookings are spread across staff.

  • A booking rotation per service.
  • Personal hours for each team member.
  • A personal booking page per person too, if you want them.
  • Staff performance in Reports.

Same workspace

Every booking lands on the client's record.

Bookings share your contacts, invoices and follow-ups, so a booking is the start of the relationship, not a calendar entry.

Every client on one record

New clients are added to your contacts with the booking and their answers on their page.

Invoices that get paid

Generate the invoice straight from the booking, with the service filled in.

A video link for every booking

From Starter, choose startbuddi Live video and every booking gets its own meeting link in the confirmation and each reminder. If the client does not turn up, one click marks the no-show and sends a reschedule link.

Questions people ask

What is round robin scheduling?
A way of sharing bookings so each person on a team gets the next one in turn. Clients book one link, and the booking goes to the next available person.
Can each person set their own hours?
Yes. Each member sets their hours, and only people who are free at that time are offered.
Does it use my team's Google calendars to decide?
No. Availability comes from the hours and blocked time set in startbuddi. Bookings are added to Google Calendar one way.
What plan do I need?
Bookings are on every plan, and team members depend on seats. Growth ($79 a month) includes 5 seats.

Share one link and let clients book.
