- Shared customer record
- Automatic reminders and confirmations
- Connected waitlist
- Bookings analyzed with your sales

Frequently asked questions
Yes. Online booking is one of the capabilities available on every Gillia plan. See the Pricing page for a full breakdown of what each plan includes.
From your website or your online store. Customers pick a time slot in three clicks, 24/7, even when you're closed, busy or in the middle of service.
Gillia sends an instant confirmation at booking, an SMS reminder the day before or the morning of, and a confirmation request for groups or long appointments. Forgotten appointments stop costing you revenue.
Yes. You don't have to migrate: Gillia connects to your accounting software (Pennylane, Sage, QuickBooks, Xero…) and your AI assistant, and offers an integration API. Connectors for other existing tools (POS, online store, payments) are on the way: they're available through Chift but not yet connected to Gillia.
You set capacity per slot, duration per service, and opening days and hours. The schedule organizes itself around your rules and never accepts more than you can actually handle.
The customer can join a waitlist. As soon as a slot opens up or a booking is canceled, Gillia offers it to customers on the waitlist, starting with your regulars.
Yes. Online booking is one of Gillia's capabilities. Gillia also handles your POS, your inventory management, your online store, your customer loyalty, and your quotes and invoices, all with the same data, in one place.
Yes. A sentence like “book a table Monday at 12:30 p.m. for John Smith” or “move Mrs. Petit's booking to 8 p.m.” is all it takes: Gillia updates the calendar immediately.
In three steps: define your slots (hours, capacity, durations, closing days), configure your front-of-house rules (confirmations, reminders, groups), then open bookings on your website, your online store and your other public-facing channels.
