Slate · Booking & reminders
They book themselves. Then they show up.
Customers book themselves into real availability. Then texts and emails remind them until they walk through the door.
$59/mo · 1,000 reminders · live today · free inside Frontdesk
The same Tuesday morning, with and without it.
Without Slate
- Tuesday’s 9 o’clock doesn’t show.
- You call. Voicemail. “Totally forgot, man.”
- The hole in the schedule cost the morning.
A paid hour, empty.
With Slate
- “Reminder: 9 AM tomorrow. Reply C to confirm.”
- He replies C.
- He walks in.
He shows.
What it actually looks like.
Mon 8:00 PM
- A confirmation at booking, again the night before, again two hours out.
- Customers book themselves into real openings only.
- A missed appointment gets a rebook text automatically.

Your other options, honestly.
The fine print, out loud.
They still read texts, and a reminder text is easier to answer than a reminder call.
