Here's the whole path of one booking, so you know what Busy Book does for you and what your client and partner see along the way.

  1. 1

    A client books

    They book on your booking page, or Sarah books them by text. Either way they get one flat price for the whole cleaning.

  2. 2

    They save a card

    With Square or Stripe connected, the client saves a card and nothing is charged that day. Until the card is saved, the booking waits as almost set and your partners aren't sent the job.

  3. 3

    Everyone hears about it

    Once the card is saved, the client gets their confirmation and you get a new booking alert. Your partners get the job the way you chose in Business profile.

  4. 4

    A partner takes the job

    A partner taps Take it in the partner app and the job is theirs. It shows on your Calendar and in Today's jobs.

  5. 5

    The day of the cleaning

    If you turned on day-of check-ins, your partner confirms they'll be there. They tap that they're on the way, arrive, follow your job checklist and mark the job done.

  6. 6

    You get paid

    The card is held and charged on the schedule you set in Payments. You can see each one under Money, then Card payments.

  7. 7

    See it all on the booking

    Open Bookings and tap the booking for the client's details, the partner, the price, the photos and the payment.
