Online booking for cocktail bartenders

Behind a bar, the bar owns the bookings. Outside it, cocktail bartenders sell their skills in a few ways. Masterclasses, where a small group learns to shake a daiquiri or build a negroni. Private events, where you bring a mobile bar to a birthday, a wedding or a company party. And menu work, where a restaurant, a hotel or a host wants a cocktail list designed for them.

The masterclass needs a headcount. The event needs one date, one address and a clear idea of the number of guests. Both usually start with messages that go back and forth for days.

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 masterclasses, set the number of places: each online booking takes one, and the class disappears from your page once it's full. For private events, open one slot per evening with one place. A slot ends by midnight, so for parties that run later, open it until midnight and give the real end time in the description. The host books it and adds the address, the number of guests and the occasion in the note. A short free call helps hosts who want to talk through drinks and equipment before booking.

Guests and hosts 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 them know, and your calendar syncs with Google, iPhone or Mac. Book doesn't send quotes, check ages or take deposits. It costs €5/month, everything included: unlimited bookings and services, no commission, no contract.
