The End of 'Are You Free at 5?' - Automating Appointments

If you are a barber, tutor, or nail tech, you know the pain. You are in the middle of work, and your phone buzzes: "Hey, do you have a slot for tomorrow?"

The Disruption Cost

Every time you stop to reply, you lose focus. If you don't reply fast enough, they go somewhere else. It's a lose-lose.

Turn Procedures into Products

With OrderViaChat's Service Mode, you treat your time slots like products on a shelf.

How it Setup

  • Product Name: "Haircut (1 Hour)"
  • Variants: "Morning Slot", "Evening Slot"
  • Price: $30

The New Flow

  1. Client clicks your link.
  2. They select "Haircut" and choose "Afternoon".
  3. They hit "Book on WhatsApp".

You receive a message: "New Booking: Haircut (Afternoon) - $30". All you have to do is reply with a thumbs up 👍. Done.

Reclaim Your Time

Stop being a receptionist. Be a professional.
