Software studio · North London
Your own online booking and ordering system.
For cafés, delis, bakeries, salons and clinics. You pay a fixed price once, and the system runs on hosting in your name, so no app takes a cut of each order or booking and there's nothing to pay us each month.
From £5,950. We also build customer portals, Power BI dashboards and automations.
A free call with Tangeni or Nigel, by video or phone.

What your own system would save
Put in your own numbers to see what moving your regulars off the app would save.
Delivery apps often take 15% to 35% of each order. Fresha and Treatwell charge commission only on new clients from their marketplace, so moving regulars saves little there. Your statement shows your exact rate.
Your regulars, who already know you.
Only counted if every order or booking moves off the app, because until then you still pay for it.

How we work
How a project works
We need one person on your side who can make decisions, time for a weekly demo, and access to the systems involved.
- 1.
A 30-minute call
You tell us what you want to fix and which systems you use now. If we can't help, we'll say so on the call.
- 2.
A fixed quote
In writing within 3 working days. You decide whether to go ahead, and there's nothing to pay until you do.
- 3.
A demo every week
You see the system working each week, and your staff try it as we build, so problems show up early.
- 4.
Handover
You get the code, the accounts, written instructions and a training session.

We already use Fresha, Square or Booksy. Why would we pay for our own?
If the app does what you need, keep it. We'll tell you that on the first call. Your own system is worth it when you're paying commission on every booking, need rules the app can't handle, or want bookings to go straight into the systems you already use.
What if it ends up costing more than you quoted?
It won't, for the work in the quote. If you ask for something extra, we price it first and you decide whether to go ahead.
What does it cost to run once it's built?
For a booking system, usually under £40 a month for hosting, a database and email, paid by you straight to the providers, plus card fees if you take payments.
What happens if something breaks after you've finished?
We fix bugs in our work free for 30 days. After that, the written instructions cover the common problems, and because the code and accounts are yours, any developer can work on it. We can also quote to fix it.
Where are you based? Do you visit?
Friern Barnet, in North London. We visit anywhere inside the M25 and work remotely with businesses elsewhere in the UK.
