SidedoorWho we build for
Built for the business you actually run.
Not sure what you’d even need? Here’s what it looks like for a few different trades. Next to each one is the kind of message that lands on your phone while you get on with the job. If yours isn’t here, that doesn’t mean it can’t be built.
Nail salons and beauty
A booking page that fills your chairs
Clients book online, pick their technician and pay a deposit up front. You get a calendar that shows who’s actually in, and reminders that cut the no shows.
- Online booking with staff calendars
- Deposits on booking, fewer no shows
- Text and email reminders sent for you
- Waitlist that refills cancelled slots
Cafes and restaurants
Scan, order, done
A QR code on the table pulls up your menu and sends the order straight to the kitchen or till. Nothing for customers to download, no extra hardware to buy.
- Table ordering straight to the kitchen
- A menu you change yourself, any time
- Table bookings without a phone call
- Loyalty stamps that apply themselves
Shops and retail
Till, stock and website, actually connected
A till that talks to your online shop, so stock updates the second something sells, in the shop or on the website. No more selling something you’ve already sold.
- One stock count for the till and the website
- Checkout built to turn browsers into buyers
- Reports that show what’s actually selling
- Basket reminders that bring people back
Trades and services
Quotes and jobs, without the paper trail
Customers request a quote or book a job straight from your site. You get the photos, postcode and details before you’ve even picked up the phone.
- Quote forms that ask the right questions
- Job calendar for you and the team
- Invoices sent and paid from your phone
- A site that shows off the work you’ve done
Gyms and studios
Classes and memberships, sorted
Members book their own classes, see spaces left in real time and manage their own membership, without you answering a message every time someone wants to swap.
- Class booking with live spaces
- Members manage their own membership
- Waitlists that fill themselves
- QR check ins, no clipboard
Home schools and tutors
One place for parents, not a group chat
Parents book classes, see what’s coming up and get to shared resources from one place, instead of asking you for the same thing every week.
- Class booking and a clear weekly timetable
- Shared resources in one place
- A proper parent dashboard
- Payments and reminders sorted
If you run it, there’s probably a system for it.
Cleaners. Pet groomers. Barbers. Market traders. Tattoo studios. Venues. Restaurants. Whatever yours is.
