Manage it all in one place
Appointments and loyalty in a single app
Every request lands in your BonusQR admin next to your loyalty data. Confirm or cancel appointments, add bookings by hand and let staff see the appointments for their own resources.
- Appointments by service and staff member
- Clients book in the loyalty app or on your booking page
- E-mail reminders before the appointment, SMS reminders optional
A reservation system keeps your calendar full and organised — customers book the exact slot they want, your staff see their schedule, and you avoid double bookings and missed calls. Because it lives in your loyalty app, every booker is already one step from joining your rewards program.
For your business that means more covers, fewer no-shows and a smoother day. And since reservations and loyalty share one app, a first-time booking is the perfect moment to turn a new guest into a regular.
- Take bookings 24/7 without phone calls
- Reduce no-shows with automatic reminders
- Turn one-time bookers into loyal regulars
Appointment booking – frequently asked questions
Which businesses can use appointment booking?
Any business that works by appointment – hair salons and barbers, beauty and wellness, sport venues with courts or studios, and many other services. Restaurants and cafés use table booking with a floor plan instead.
Do I need a paid plan for reservations?
Yes — the reservation widget is unlocked on a paid BonusQR plan (Basic or Premium). You can start on the Free plan to set up your loyalty program, then upgrade when you want to take bookings.
Can I add my services, staff and opening hours?
Yes. Add services with their durations, resources such as individual staff members, opening hours and blocked times. Staff linked to a resource see their own appointments.
