Bay Boss – Shop Management Software

How to Automate Your Shop’s Front Desk with Bay Boss Online Booking

New Feature from Bay Boss - Online Scheduling Tool to allow customers to book appointments at your shop.

Introduction: The "Voicemail" Problem

You’re under a hood, the air compressor is screaming, and your phone is ringing off the hook. By the time you check your voicemail at 5:00 PM, that customer has already booked with the shop down the street. Sound familiar?

We built Online Appointment Booking to give you your time back. It’s like having a service advisor who never sleeps, never takes a lunch break, and never makes a scheduling mistake.

Step 1: Set Your Shop’s Boundaries

You’re in control. In the Bay Boss Settings, you can toggle which days you’re open and set your ‘Max Appointments’ per slot. If you only have one tech available on Tuesdays, set it to 1. The system reads your live shop capacity and only shows customers what you can actually handle.

Settings updates for your shop control which days your customers can book appointments with you.

Step 2: Custom Branding in Seconds

Your shop isn’t ‘generic,’ and your booking tool shouldn’t be either. We use your shop logo automatically so your customers know they are booking with the right auto repair shop. It will look like a native part of your website

Pro Tip: Want this on your Squarespace or WordPress site? Just copy your unique Shop URL and drop it into a button or an iFrame. It’s a 30-second install.

Step 3: Secure, Spam-Free Booking

We know you don’t want robots filling up your calendar. Every customer must verify their phone number via a quick 2-step SMS code. This ensures every appointment on your screen is a real person with a real vehicle.

2-step verification ensures your customer data is accurate in Bay Boss's online scheduler.

The Result: From Website to Work Order

Once a customer picks their service and confirms their time, the appointment doesn’t just sit in an email inbox. It appears instantly in your Bay Boss dashboard, ready to be converted into a Work Order with a single click.

Bay Boss's online booking agent searches available time slots in your calendar for you.
