What a butcher's shop books

Most customers walk in, and that's how a butcher's shop works. The pressure comes on a few days a year. Before Christmas, New Year and Easter, customers order roasts, turkeys and capons in advance and all want to collect them on the same morning. The same happens on a smaller scale with meat boxes or barbecue packs on summer Fridays.

Workshops are the other part: teaching a group to break down a lamb, make sausages or cook over fire. They need a fixed number of places and a list of names, and they tend to be arranged over the counter, on scraps of paper.

Collection times and workshops

On Book, each type of appointment is a service with its own description, and a price if you want to show one. You open slots for each at the length it takes. For collections, open short slots across the days before a holiday, with a few places each, so customers spread out instead of arriving all at once. The order itself is taken as you do today; customers add their name or order number in the booking note so you can have it ready. For workshops, set the number of places: each online booking takes one, and a full workshop disappears from your page.

Setting up your page

  1. Add a collection service and open slots across the busy days before each holiday.
  2. Add your workshops with the number of places and the date.
  3. Put your link on the order form, by the till and on your Google profile.
  4. Book customers who order in the shop into a collection slot yourself from your calendar.

Customers book without an account, with their name, email and phone, and get a confirmation email. You get an email for every new booking. Reschedule or cancel from your bookings list and let the customer know, and your calendar syncs with Google, iPhone or Mac. Book doesn't take orders, weigh products or take payments. It costs €5/month, everything included: unlimited bookings and services, no commission, no contract.

One price. Everything in it.

Questions butchers ask

Can customers choose a time to collect their Christmas order?
Yes. Create a collection service and open short slots with a few places each. Once a slot is full, it no longer shows on your page.
Can customers place their order through Book?
No. Book handles the collection time. Orders are taken as you do today, and customers can add their order number in the note.
Can I run butchery workshops with a fixed number of places?
Yes. Set the number of places per slot. Each online booking takes one.
Do customers need an account?
No. They choose a service and a slot and book in a few clicks. They receive a confirmation email.
How much does Book cost?
€5/month, everything included. Unlimited bookings and services, no commission, no contract.
