Roadmap and feature requests

Most of what we build comes from talking to salon owners like you. The Roadmap is where you can see what's coming, vote on what matters most to you, and tell us what we should work on next.

Finding the roadmap

Click Roadmap in the bar along the top of the app. On a phone the buttons in that bar show as icons without labels. You need to be signed in to see it and vote, and every user can vote, whatever plan you're on.

What you'll see

Each card on the Roadmap is a feature we're considering, with:

A name and a short description of what it does.
A vote count and an I'm Interested button. Click it to vote, and it changes to Voted. Click it again to take your vote back.
A status badge on features we've committed to:
- In progress: we're building it, often with an expected date.
- In beta: it's being tested with a small group before launch.
- Delivered: it's out now. Delivered features no longer take votes.

Features we're working on or testing are shown at the top. The rest are sorted by votes.

How voting works

Each person gets one vote per feature, and you can vote for as many features as you like. Votes help us decide what to build next, and every vote is sent to the team, so we see them as they come in.

Suggesting a new feature

If what you want isn't on the list, click Let us know at the bottom of the Roadmap. It takes you to the message form on the Support page. Write a sentence or two about what you want and the problem it would solve.

Good suggestions tend to:

Describe the job that's painful, not just a feature name. "I want to see who's working today at a glance" says more than "Add a rota view".
Mention if it's stopping you from switching from another system.
Say how often you'd use it. Something you'd use every day is a stronger case than something you'd use twice a year.

You can also ask Ask Tim (the help assistant in the top bar) to pass a request on to the team.

Not available yet

These are things salons often ask about that TimeToBook doesn't do yet. If one of them matters to you, vote for it on the Roadmap if it's there, or let us know if it isn't.

Online payments, deposits, cancellation fees and Tap to Pay. These show as "Coming soon" in Settings. For now, clients pay you in the salon.
Repeating client appointments and a "book again" shortcut. Only calendar blocks (like breaks and days off) can repeat. Each client appointment is booked one at a time.
Approving online bookings before they're confirmed. Online bookings are confirmed automatically.
Exporting your client list. There's no client export yet.
Changing the online start times. Your booking page offers start times every 15 minutes, and this can't be changed. The calendar also uses 15-minute slots, so there's no 5-minute grid.
Split shifts and fortnightly hours. Each staff member has one start and finish time per day, the same every week. To cover a gap in the day or an off week, add a block on the calendar.
Texting or emailing a client a one-off message, or seeing replies to texts. TimeToBook sends confirmations and reminders, but you can't send your own messages or read clients' text replies in the app.
Importing services. Bookings can be imported from any CSV, and clients from Timely, but services have to be added by hand. If you have a long list, contact support and we can load it for you. See Importing bookings.
Yearly or custom date range reports. The Dashboard shows the last 7, 30 or 90 days.
A TimeToBook app in the App Store or Google Play. Our iPhone app is being tested and isn't in the App Store yet. See Using TimeToBook on your phone.
Clients rescheduling their own booking. Clients can cancel through the link in their confirmation email (see Client cancellations) and then book a new time, but there's no reschedule button.
