  • Personal WhatsApp replaced by OpenSlot Inbox: 1 thread per client
  • Spreadsheet replaced by OpenSlot Analytics: £12.4k live, this month
  • Email tool replaced by OpenSlot Marketing: 38 promo redemptions
  • Old website replaced by OpenSlot Website: Live booking on every page

One platform

Everything your salon needs,
in one place.

Seven things most salons pay for separately, built into one platform. Scroll to see each one at work.

Online Booking

A diary that fills itself.

Put one booking link in your bio, your window and your reminders. Clients book from live availability that already knows everyone's hours, breaks and leave.

  • Drag to move, with clashes caught before they happen
  • A waitlist that offers freed slots automatically
  • Lead times, buffers and deposits applied to every booking
Learn more
Payments & Deposits

Take the money. Keep the money.

Card payments run through Stripe on your own account, and we take no cut of the booking. Deposits do the awkward asking for you, and a saved card turns the next visit into a tap.

  • 0% marketplace commission on every booking
  • A card reader for the counter, plus pay links and QR codes
  • Cash, bank transfer and vouchers recorded alongside card
Learn more
Client Communication

Stop answering from your own phone.

She texts on Monday, messages Instagram on Wednesday and rings on Friday. It all lands in one thread, with her bookings right beside it.

  • SMS, WhatsApp, Instagram, Messenger and calls in one inbox
  • A business number for texts and calls, so your mobile stays yours
  • Email that comes from your own domain
Learn more
Marketing & Promotions

Say something to the right hundred clients.

Not everybody. The ones who haven't been in since spring, the ones on packages, the ones who always see Amira. Pick the group, check the headcount, and send.

  • Groups built from visits, spend, services and staff
  • Discount codes limited to the services and staff you choose
  • See every send, and every time a code was used
Learn more
Analytics & Reporting

Know what's actually making money.

A dashboard for the quick look between clients, and twenty-two reports for month end. Set the filters once, save the view, and it opens that way next time.

  • Revenue and client retention for each member of the team
  • Stock value, low stock and what needs reordering
  • Export anything you're looking at as a CSV
Learn more
Client Treatment Plans

Six sessions, one plan.

A course of treatment shouldn't be six unrelated appointments. Build it as one plan, get the client's approval by link, and keep a proper record of every session.

  • Nothing starts until consent, patch test and payment are in
  • Before and after photos and products used, saved per session
  • Face, scalp, body and nail charts you can compare over time
Learn more
Your Own Website

Your website already exists.

On day one you get a site built from your name, logo, services and hours. Drag things around, describe a new page and have it drafted, then publish it on your own domain.

  • Services and opening hours update when the diary does
  • Booking built into every page, with no redirects
  • Start on a free OpenSlot address and move to your domain later

AI that joins the workflow

Every enquiry gets an answer.

Cleo handles common questions, finds availability, follows up on missed calls, and turns conversations into confirmed bookings, with your rules and your team still in control.

Hi, can I book a colour appointment after work this week?
