Product
Everything the front desk needs. Nothing it doesn't.
Three tools that work together: a booking calendar your team enjoys using, a customer list that remembers everyone, and a retention view that tells you where to focus.
Bookings
Take a booking in seconds, not minutes
Pick a customer, a time and what they're booking. Diarybird shows what's free as you choose, so nobody has to cross-check a spreadsheet.
- Every room, court, staff member or session at a glance
- Double-bookings are blocked automatically
- Price, group size and notes captured in one place
Customers
Every customer, remembered
Each booking builds a profile your whole team can see — who came, how often, how many they brought and what they spent.
- Complete visit history on a single page
- Contact details and notes in one shared place
- Find anyone instantly by name, email or phone
Retention
See who's drifting away while there's still time
Diarybird learns each customer's natural rhythm from their completed visits, then tells you who's on track, who's due back and who's slipping.
- Regular, Due back, Lapsed and New — updated automatically
- A follow-up list ordered by who's easiest to win back
- Based on real visits, not guesswork

What kinds of businesses is Diarybird for?
Any business that books people into time — salons and clinics, fitness studios and tutors, courts, rooms and studios for hire, escape rooms, bowling alleys and more. Diarybird uses your own words, so a salon sees stylists, a padel club sees courts and a bowling alley sees lanes.
How does Diarybird know when a customer is due back?
When a booking is marked complete, Diarybird records the visit and recalculates the average gap between that customer's visits. Once they're noticeably past their usual gap, they move to Due back; well past it, Lapsed. New customers use your business's typical return cycle until they've visited twice.
Can Diarybird stop double-bookings?
Yes. The booking screen only offers times that are free for the room, court or person you choose, and Diarybird checks again when the booking is saved — so two people booking at the same moment can't take the same slot.
Do I need to install anything?
No. Diarybird runs in any modern browser on desktop, tablet and phone. Your team signs in and the schedule is there.
