- Schedule updated in real time
- Shared customer record
- Automatic reminders and confirmations
- Connected waitlist
- Bookings analyzed with your sales

Frequently asked questions
Online booking is one of the capabilities available on every Gillia plan. See the Pricing page for the full breakdown of what's included in each plan.
From your website or your online store, your customers pick their slot in three clicks, 24/7 — even when you're closed, busy, or mid-service.
Instant confirmation at booking, an SMS reminder the day before or morning of, and a confirmation request for groups or long bookings : forgotten appointments stop costing you missed revenue.
Yes. You don't have to migrate: Gillia connects to your accounting (Pennylane, Sage, QuickBooks, Xero…) and your AI assistant, and offers an integration API. Connectors for other existing tools (POS, online store, payment) are coming: they are available at Chift, but not plugged into Gillia yet.
Capacity per slot, duration per service, opening days and hours : the schedule organizes itself around your rules, never accepting more than you can actually deliver.
The customer can join a waitlist. As soon as a slot frees up or a booking is cancelled, Gillia offers it to waiting customers, starting with your regulars.
Yes : online booking is one of Gillia's capabilities. Gillia also handles your inventory management, your online store, and your customer loyalty — with the same data, in the same place.
Yes. A sentence like "book a table Monday at 12:30pm for John Smith" or "move Mrs. Petit's booking to 8pm" is enough : Gillia updates the calendar immediately.
Three steps : you define your slots (hours, capacity, durations, closed days), you configure your front-of-house rules (confirmations, reminders, groups), then you open bookings on your website, your store, and your other visible channels.
