    After using for over a year, I have grown accustomed to this software and probably will stay with it in the foreseeable future!

    Pros

    After using several booking software, this has been my go-to and preferred booking method for my cosmetic business. Sales tracking and inventory management are easy to monitor. The included POS system is easy to use as well and has been convenient!

    Cons

    Calendar compatibility is a con, however, I enjoy manually tracking within the software.

    Booker does what we need, support has always been responsive and it is easy to use.

    Pros

    Ease of use so, easy to train. In the Day Spa industry front desk turnover is frequent so it is nice to be able to quickly show a new gal how to use the system.

    Cons

    We were previously Salon Iris customers and I am a programmer. With access to the database on that system I could run queries on anything in the database. Booker does not provide access to the SQL database so that is not possible. I do however have all of the reports that I need.

    Also, it would be nice to have the ability to set access a little more granular. For example, if I give a gal access to look at gift card balances, I will also have given her access to modify gift card balances.

    The system does not work as it is supposed to, I have spent too much time calling support without anything getting resolved. The time an energy spent on using this system is not worth the price.

    Pros

    I liked the appointment booking system. Easy to use and works without any problems.

    Cons

    I have had booker for over 7 years. The system is really flawed and has a lot of bugs.

    We have been using Booker in my business for years and earlier this year we were convinced by another booking service (the big name in our industry) to switch over. It was one of the worst decisions we have made. After 4 months of giving it our best try and much frustration over the new booking system's lack of features, unhelpful reporting options and staff frustrations, we switched back to Booker and THAT was one of the best decisions we made. Booker is the BEST platform for service based booking and the back end reporting of that kind of business. I do wish their customer service was as good as the other one we tried but it is not nearly as responsive. We are happy to be back though!!

    Pros

    Ease of scheduling, quick to learn/intuitive platform, broad range of reporting options.

    Cons

    The customer support could be faster and more helpful. The client end of scheduling could be easier for the client.

    Very pleased. We've been using it since day 1 in our Spa -6 years. Like I said before, really like the add-ons of [SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN], for Marketing; and [SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN], for never missing a call.

    Pros

    You can be very thorough in booking your appointments. Especially like the details tab where you can add notes for each client & can even scan pages into their account. Can easily see their appointments & past orders.
    We like the add ons to the software, as well - [SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN]

    Cons

    Sometimes, when you make a mistake, it's hard to back out of it, especially with payments. You just have to force other transactions to make the outcome that you needed in the first place.
