ALYR Bookings · Early access
Customers book in the chat. ALYR reminds them before they come.
Your customers pick a service and a free time from a page that opens in the chat, with no app. The confirmation goes at once, a reminder two hours before, and your team marks who came.
- Today
- Hi, can I book a haircut and blow-dry for Saturday?
- Pick a service and a time that suits you: alyr.qa/b/dafira
Free times come from your opening hours. Two customers can never take the same slot.

How it works
What happens when a customer books.
Your customer sees an ordinary chat. Behind it, ALYR reads your hours, locks the time and sets the reminder. Follow one booking through.

What’s in it
Everything it does today.
For your customers
A booking page from the chat: service, day, time. No app, no account.
Only times that are really free, from your hours and the bookings you have.
A note for you, if they want to add one.
The confirmation at once, in their language.
A reminder two hours before.
“my booking” to see or cancel the next one.
For your team
Today and the next seven days, with who looks after each visit.
Came or No-show in one tap.
The chat that led to each booking, in the team inbox.
In ALYR Agent: visits not marked, the no-show rate over 30 days, repeat no-shows booked again, quiet days ahead, customers due back.
Behind the scenes
Two customers can never take the same slot: the time is checked again and locked.
A cancelled booking is never reminded.
WhatsApp's rules, handled: ordinary messages for 24 hours after a customer writes, approved wording after that.
Stop means stop.

Questions
Before you ask.
Can I use it on its own?
Yes. ALYR Bookings works without ALYR Chat. It comes with the team inbox, because your customers write to you there, and with ALYR Agent.
How long does setup take?
We agree your go-live date at the visit. We load your services, prices and opening hours ourselves.
How do I move from my book or my phone?
At the visit we agree the day you switch, and how the bookings you already have for the days after it come across.
I have more than one chair or room.
Today ALYR Bookings takes one booking at a time for the whole business. That suits one chair, one room or one practitioner. Several at once is the next step for Bookings. Tell us how many you run, and we’ll tell you honestly whether it fits yet.
What if a customer doesn’t come?
Your team marks No-show. ALYR Agent shows your no-show rate over 30 days, and flags a customer who missed twice and has booked again.
Tell us how bookings reach you today.
Send us a message. A person from ALYR replies, then comes to show you ALYR Bookings on your own phone.
