Bookings from the app your customers already use

Your service list, with prices, lives in Zawadi. Customers pick a service and a free slot from their Zawadi app or the web, get a booking reference by SMS, and earn points when they come in.

Bookings and services

Zawadi's bookings let customers of a salon, barbershop or car wash book a service in a free time slot from the Zawadi app or the web. Each booking gets a reference by SMS, you see bookings waiting for confirmation on your dashboard, and customers can cancel from their phone.

What you can do

  • A service list with prices, ready to edit for your business type.
  • Customers book from the Zawadi Rewards app or the web, and can cancel from there.
  • Some rewards can be booked too, holding the points until the visit.
  • Bookings waiting for confirmation are flagged on your dashboard.

Bookings and services

How it works

  1. List your services

    Your business type fills in a starting list, such as box braids or a full wash. Edit the names and prices to match yours.

  2. Customers pick a slot

    They choose a service, a date and a free time within your business hours. Taken slots aren't offered.

  3. You see what's coming

    Each booking gets a BK reference sent by SMS. Bookings waiting for you show up on your dashboard.

Example

A salon's Saturday

A salon lists box braids, a wash and blow-dry and a retouch. A client books braids for 10am on Saturday from her phone and gets a BK reference by SMS. When she comes in, the visit earns her a stamp towards a free treatment.

Questions

Bookings and services questions

Where do customers make a booking?

In the Zawadi Rewards app or the customer web app, on your shop's card. They need to have joined your loyalty programme.

Can customers cancel?

Yes, from their bookings list. The slot becomes free again.

Do I have to use bookings?

No. If you don't list bookable services, customers simply don't see the option.
