Carpenters: fitting days and client availability

A fitted wardrobe or a staircase is made in the workshop, then fitted on site on a day the client is home. Finding that day takes calls back and forth, and the date can slip with materials. With Book, clients book a site visit on your own booking page, and once the piece is ready you book the fitting days yourself from your list, so the client gets each day in their calendar.

On Book, each service has a name, a price and an optional description, all shown on your public page. Each slot belongs to one service, sits within one day and has its own capacity.

Durations and prices are examples. Leave the price empty on fitting services; an empty price is hidden.

Open site visit slots on the days you're out of the workshop, such as late afternoons or one morning a week. Slots repeat weekly on the weekdays you choose until an end date. Each online booking takes one place, and a booked visit leaves your page.

The booking form takes first name, last name, email and phone, plus an optional note that reaches you in the new booking email. Ask for the address, the project, rough measurements and the client's preferred days for fitting.

Don't open public slots for fitting services. When the piece is ready, call the client, agree the days, and book them from your bookings list. First and last name are enough; with their email, the client gets a confirmation with a calendar file for each day. A slot sits within one day, so a three-day fit is three bookings.

Say in the description that rooms must be clear, and that walls or floors must be finished before fitting if needed. Arrange keys by phone, not in the note.

If timber or hardware arrives late, move the fitting days from your list and call the client, since Book doesn't email clients about changes. Clients can't move or cancel online: they contact you. Your bookings sync with Google, iPhone or Mac calendars.

Book doesn't write estimates, track workshop jobs, take payments or send reminders. One booking page per business, no staff field: with a fitting team, create services per team. See the guide on site visits for fitted furniture. Book costs €5/month, everything included: unlimited services and bookings, no commission, no contract.
