The essentials

What you actually get

01
Custom intake fields
Breed, coat type, weight, vaccine status, temperament notes. Required or optional, captured on the appointment.
02
Durations per service
A doodle full groom is not a nail trim. Set the duration and buffer for each service so the day holds together.
03
Six week regulars
Recurring bookings set up a standing schedule for clients who come back on a cycle.
04
Modern on a phone
Most grooming clients book from a phone. The page is built for that first.

FAQ

Questions people ask

How hard is it to switch from another booking system?+

There is no migration project. You add your services, hours and staff, then share the new link. Most owners run the old system until the last booked appointment passes, then stop renewing it.

Can clients book recurring appointments?+

Yes. Recurring bookings can be created weekly, biweekly or monthly. Each series links back to a parent appointment so you can manage them as a set.

Do you support multiple staff members with different services?+

Yes. Each staff member has their own hours and service list. Clients pick a service, then a specific staff member or Anyone, and only real availability shows up.

How do reminders work?+

ZenSched sends a confirmation email the moment a client books and a reminder email before the appointment. Sends run on a queue so they never block a booking.

Is ZenSched really free to try?+

Yes. The Free Beta plan gives you a full booking page, unlimited appointments and email reminders. No credit card to start.

Do you send SMS reminders?+

Not yet. Reminders go by email today. If SMS is a hard requirement for you, tell us — we ship based on what customers ask for.

Can I take deposits or payments through the booking page?+

Not today. ZenSched focuses on the calendar and the booking experience. Payment collection is on the roadmap; for now most customers collect payment in person or through their existing processor.
