Zarbotics builds custom booking systems for UK clinics, salons and appointment led businesses. Live availability, practitioner scheduling, deposits and automated confirmations. On your own domain, with no commission on a single booking.
Most businesses start with an off the shelf booking plugin or a marketplace listing. Both give you the same thing: a calendar, a form and a confirmation email. That is enough until your business has any real complexity.
Then the cracks appear. Two practitioners who work different days. A treatment that needs a longer slot and a specific room. A client who needs to sign a consent form before you will see them. A deposit policy that only applies to certain services. A second location with its own opening hours.
Plugins handle these by bolting on paid extensions until the system becomes fragile. Marketplaces handle them by taking a percentage and keeping your client. Neither actually models how your business works.
We design booking systems around your real operating rules rather than forcing your business to fit a template. Availability is calculated live against a proper database, so a slot is only ever offered if the practitioner, the treatment duration and the location all genuinely allow it.
Everything the client needs to complete a booking happens in one uninterrupted journey. Treatment selection, live availability, consent and disclaimer capture, deposit or full payment, and confirmation. No phone call, no back and forth, no manual step for your team.
The underlying architecture is the same wherever appointments, practitioners and time slots are involved. What changes is the terminology, the rules and the compliance layer around it.
