How easy it is to do everything, from booking appointments to using it to file your taxes. The offer free courses on every thing the system does and certain online courses for certain rolls your employees do in the salon.
How to find and manage previous orders, I could be doing it wrong but it use to be a little easier.
That I didn’t need to spend so much time looking up the best card reader/checkout machine. Clover is the best and so easy to use, my clients even love how easy it is for them.

Booker is all inclusive. There is no need to worry about merchandise verses services. Credit card processing is bundles in the service. Customers receive emails, text reminders or both. My younger clients love the on line booking and cancellations, as well.
Take a while to completely understand the system. When viewing the schedule, for example, rooms verses staff brings a totally different picture and print out and can be confusing when first using this program.
The credit card processing aspect was a surprise to me after we had already invested time into this system.

Always easy access to help through a variety of channels
Integrated with many tools that are helpful but optional
I haven’t experienced any challenges that I would put in this category
We have used a number of online appointment systems over the past 15 years and are quite happy with the robust nature of Booker. I am happy that we have all our needs met (and more) and don’t have to worry about finding our “next” appointment service.

Review SourceFitSmallBusiness invited user to leave a review and offered a nominal gift card as a thank you.
The reports are very clear and detailed, The Customer service is Fabulous! Every time I call I asked or emailed one person and the directed me immediately to the proper person to help. Fast and easy. Also, the program is easy to learn and easy to teach. We can figure out most things without even getting support–but if we need it it is there.
There have been crashes but they seem to get up and running fast enough. We have not had any major issues as a result but this should be fixed.
How easy it was and how easy it was to teach– Had I known, I would have signed on earlier!

Ease of setup. Ease of use. Very user friendly. Integration of gift certificates within the system. Unlimited service providers.
System crashed too often. Reports could be more business savy. Memberships weren’t flexible.
Overall satisfied with the system
