Shoe repairers: resoling boots before winter

When the first cold snap hits, everyone remembers their winter boots need new soles, and the counter fills up in a week. Spreading drop-offs over the autumn keeps the bench busy without a backlog. With Book, customers book a resoling drop-off on your own booking page in the weeks you open, and each slot takes only as many pairs as you can handle.

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, places and prices are examples: set your own.

Slots repeat weekly on the weekdays you choose until an end date. Open resoling drop-offs from early autumn and say in the description that booking early means boots back before the cold. Give each slot as many places as pairs you can take in. Each online booking takes one place, and a full slot 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 type of boots, the sole wanted and the number of pairs. A customer with two pairs books two drop-offs, or you add them from your list.

Say in each description how many working days resoling takes. When boots are ready, the customer books a collection slot, or you book it from your bookings list. First and last name are enough; with their email, the customer gets a confirmation with a calendar file.

Customers can't move or cancel online: they contact you, and you move the booking from your list. If soles arrive late, tell the customer yourself, since Book doesn't email clients about changes. Your bookings sync with Google, iPhone or Mac calendars.

Book doesn't tag shoes, take payments or send reminders. One booking page per business, no staff field. See the guide on while-you-wait repairs. Book costs €5/month, everything included: unlimited services and bookings, no commission, no contract.
