Your ‘Back-to-Business 101’ Checklist

Your ‘Back-to-Business 101’ Checklist

Restrictions in the industry have been lifted, and we’re sure you’re looking forward to getting back to business. Doing what you love, and making your clients happy; but in the safest and most business-savvy way possible. That’s why we’ve put together a checklist of what you can do to make the most of our safety features.  Here are a few ways to help you get back up and running and update your customers about the measures you've taken to keep them safe.

Update calendar settings

One of the benefits of using Booksy is that your customers can schedule appointments up to 24 months in advance depending on your account settings. Take these steps to adjust the time for future bookings:

• Open your Booksy profile and select settings and then click booking settings
• Select booking for future
• Select how far in advance clients are able to schedule an appointment.  We recommend you allow bookings to be made at least 3 to 6 months in advance during this time.

Edit prepayment settings 

Use Booksy to offer prepayments. This tool lets you charge for appointments upfront and minimise the need for contact and receiving payments. [embed]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jEa2cZxg83Q[/embed]

Extend padding time 

Use our handy padding time feature to give yourself time to sanitise your work stations between clients, before welcoming your next guest into the chair. Check out how to set up padding time below. [embed]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D2ecc8wdVxs[/embed]

Use consent forms

You can utilise our new custom forms feature to ask clients basic questions regarding their health, or if they have had certain symptoms, or if anyone that lives with them has had any symptoms.   [embed]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M0_g0YKCIY0&t=53[/embed]

Use “I'm ready”

We've introduced the brand new feature that will help you easily notify your clients when you're ready for them to come inside your salon from the appointment. This is helpful in-between appointments as it gives you time to sanitise and recreate a safe environment for your next client. This also helps avoid any possible crossover clients and minimises as much contact as possible.  [embed]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4-krKX1PxUg&list=PL66DNIL0m84w2VRgmJGXwbWa1CfYDLIQG&index=2&t=0s[/embed]
