Owner side
Your whole business fits in one WhatsApp conversation
To book, move or cancel an appointment, no more back-and-forth with your customers: Riserv handles it with them. You open the Riserv conversation in your WhatsApp and see everything at a glance. Something else? The customer taps the button for it and the request is passed on to you.
What you no longer do
Answering requests
Riserv answers your customers, at any hour, offers what is free and confirms the appointment. You are notified of every appointment.
Calling the day beforePro
The reminder goes out on its own around 5 pm the day before; the customer confirms, reschedules or cancels in one tap.
Handling changes and cancellations
Customers move or cancel themselves from “My appointments”; you get the alert and the slot is freed.
Keeping a paper book
Every appointment goes into your schedule, one tap away: today, tomorrow, the week.
Preparing your dayPro
On days with appointments, 30 min before opening: the day's list, hour by hour.

Questions
Which booking app for a barber shop?
Riserv connects to your WhatsApp Business number: customers book in the chat, with no app to install. Each service has its own length: cut, beard, cut and beard.
Am I eligible?How do I take barber bookings online without a website?
Share your WhatsApp number: the customer writes “Hello”, taps Book, picks a service and a free time. You are notified of every appointment.
How do I avoid no-shows at the barber's?
On the Pro plan, the customer gets a reminder the day before and confirms, reschedules or cancels in one tap. For walk-ins, you can block out time in your schedule.
Is the reminder always sent?
It goes out the day before, around 5 pm, except for an appointment booked the same day or after 5 pm the day before. Reminders are included in the Pro and Premium plans, and during the free trial.
What if a customer asks something unexpected?
The assistant does not guess. The customer taps the “Talk to the salon” button (“the practice”, “the garage”, “the restaurant” or “the team”, depending on your trade): the request is passed on to you and the customer is told you will reply.
