Scheduling software for every kind of small service business.

Patcher is simple scheduling software for small service businesses where one to ten people take appointments. Each page below shows a sample day in that kind of business, the features that trade uses most, pricing and common questions. Every plan includes every feature, from $29 a month for 1–2 people.

Pets

Grooming shops and groomers who drive to the customer.

  • Pet grooming

    For grooming shops leaving a paper book: rebook every few weeks, pet notes, online booking and reminder texts.

  • Mobile pet grooming

    For groomers working out of a van: drive-aware suggested times, gate and hookup notes, and refilled stops.

Beauty and personal care

Salons, barbershops and studios where clients come to you.

  • Hair salons

    For salons with a few stylists: a column each, true service lengths, formula notes and filled cancellations.

  • Barbershops

    For shops with a few chairs: quick cuts back to back, walk-in time held open, and booking from your Instagram link.

  • Nail salons

    For salons with a few techs: set, fill and pedicure lengths with cleanup buffers, client notes and online booking.

  • Spas & estheticians

    For small spas and estheticians: intake questions when clients book, consult requests and a column per provider.

Teams that drive to the customer, with the drive counted.

  • House cleaning

    For cleaners and small crews: standard, deep and move-out lengths, entry and alarm notes, estimates and refilled Friday cleans.

Questions about Patcher for your business

Which kinds of businesses use Patcher?

Patcher is built for small service businesses where one to ten people take appointments: pet groomers, hair and nail salons, barbershops, spas and estheticians, house cleaners, plumbers, HVAC companies, electricians, handymen and one-person businesses. Some work at their own place and some drive to the customer, and Patcher handles both. If you book appointments and don’t see your business here, it works the same way for you.

Does Patcher work if we travel to customers?

Yes. Set your business to “we visit customers” and suggested times account for the job, the drive, and your team’s availability, so each booking leaves room to get from one job to the next. Your booking page asks for the customer’s address first, and the times it offers account for the drive too. If some services happen at your place, set it per service.

Is there a different price for each industry?

No. Every business gets the same plans, and every plan includes every feature. The price depends only on how many people are scheduled on appointments: $29 a month for 1–2 people, $79 a month for 3–6 people and $149 a month for 7–10 people. A grooming shop and a plumbing company with the same team size pay the same. Free to try for 14 days.

What if we already use MoeGo, Jobber or Housecall Pro?

You can keep it. Patcher Connect fills cancellations in the scheduler you already use: it lines up customers with later appointments, you approve the lineup, and accepted moves are written back to your schedule. It starts at $29 a month for 1–2 techs. Housecall Pro makes its API available on its top-tier plan. If you’d rather move to Patcher, setup and switching help is free.
