Booking that knows where you're driving
Built for mobile beauticians, barbers, cleaners, PTs, and tattoo artists. Per-day travel areas, travel-time-aware availability, and a daily route map — included in the Rexabook base.
Mobile mode is included in every Rexabook subscription — free during the 30-day trial, included in the £15/month base after.
Three postcodes, no warning
Most booking systems were built for fixed-location salons. Mobile work breaks them in quiet, expensive ways.
Sarah's a mobile beautician. Wednesday she's in CW10 — Crewe. She sets a 30-minute buffer between bookings and trusts the system to handle the rest.
A client books her for 12:00 in Crewe. The next one books 11:30 in Northwich — fifteen miles and twenty-five minutes away. Both bookings confirm. Both look fine on the diary.
Sarah finds out when she's running between them. The 12:00 client waits twenty minutes; she's flustered for the rest of the day. Booksy and Fresha can't catch this — they have staff calendars, not journey-aware availability.
Per-day coverage, not a one-size radius
Define where you'll travel by day of the week — postcode prefixes (CW10, CW11) or a radius from a centre point. Tuesdays in one area, Saturdays in another. Customers outside your areas join a waitlist instead of booking — you see the demand on your dashboard.
- Postcode-prefix or radius — pick whichever you think in
- Per-day assignment (Mon CW10, Sat SK11, etc.)
- Default travel area for days you haven't set specifically
- Out-of-zone waitlist tells you where to expand next

The safety net for impossible journeys
Buffer time handles most days. When the actual journey clearly exceeds your buffer — Crewe to Northwich in 30 minutes — Smart Scheduling hides the slot from the customer entirely. Not greyed out, not warned about. Gone. The next viable time becomes the earliest option, so the booking still lands.
- Fires only when travel time > 1.5 × your buffer — borderline cases still show
- Customer-facing: hides impossible slots, no jargon
- Owner override: you can force a tight booking from your dashboard
- First-of-day journeys are measured from your Home Base postcode
Sarah's route today affects availability. These are the slots that fit.
Clustered slots come first
On days that already have at least one booking, the time picker quietly pulls nearby slots to the top. Customers see the same total options — they're just ordered helpfully. Your day naturally builds into a tight cluster without anyone thinking about it.
- Fires on every booking page load — not just edge cases
- A small ✦ Efficient pill marks the clustered slots
- Slots further away still show, just lower down
- See the percentage of clustered bookings on your dashboard

Your day, plotted before you start it
Today's bookings on a map with route order and estimated travel times. Numbered pins, connecting lines, leg-by-leg distance and time. The visible, marketable thing — the screenshot that goes on Instagram when you finally feel in control of your day.
- Numbered pins in chronological order, Home Base to Home Base
- Estimated drive time per leg, total miles for the day
- Tap a pin to see the booking — client, service, address, time
- Works whether your customers gave a postcode or a full address
Everything Mobile mode unlocks
One purchasable thing. Tick it once — these six features light up together.
Home Base
Your starting postcode each day. The origin for travel-time calculations and the centre of your route map.
Travel Areas
Per-day geographic zones. Postcode prefixes or radius from a centre. Customers outside your zone join a waitlist.
Travel settings
Transport mode (driving / cycling / walking / public transport), buffer time, road factor. Tunes the maths to your reality.
Travel-time safety net
Hides slots when the journey can't fit. Only fires on clearly impossible cases — borderline ones still show.
Cluster preference
Slots near existing bookings appear first in the time picker. The quiet, everyday win — fires on every booking page load.
Daily route view

Mobile-aware scheduling — only on Rexabook
Booksy and Fresha have staff calendars. Neither models journeys between same-day bookings. If you travel for work, the difference shows up the first week.
