AfterHours Booker

Capture after-hours requests before they disappear.

AfterHours Booker is a web intake form and shop-owner inbox for clinics, salons, and home services. Customers leave name, phone, a time window, and notes; you get a pending calendar hold and confirmation stubs to review in the morning — without promising a live after-hours phone line in this build.

This version is a web intake form plus a shop-owner booking inbox with pending calendar holds and confirmation stubs. Live phone answering and sent text or email wait on Twilio and mail providers.

Starter stays $29/month. New shops get a 7-day free trial: a card is required, intake is capped at 25 bookings, and the trial converts to Starter unless you cancel.

Who it is for
Small service businesses that stop answering at close: dental and med spas, salons, HVAC, cleaning, mobile details.
What works today
Web intake writes the same inbox record you confirm or decline in the morning. Phone and text-message paths are stubbed until Twilio live is turned back on.
Why it exists
After hours, unanswered requests often go to voicemail and never convert. A pending slot in your inbox keeps the appointment request visible for staff follow-up.

How a request moves

  1. 1. Intake. Customer submits the web form with name, phone, email, preferred window, and service notes.
  2. 2. Pending slot. The app stores a calendar stub (`pending` / `held` / `booked`) — not a live Google event yet.
  3. 3. Confirm stub. Text and email payloads are queued in the record. No provider sends mail in this version.
  4. 4. Morning inbox. Staff confirm or decline. That flips the stub slot to booked or released.
