How Tableside works for appointment-based businesses — pricing, reminders, staff calendars, and search visibility.
What is Tableside?
Tableside is online booking software for appointment-based businesses. You get a branded booking page, a real-time staff calendar, and automatic email confirmations and reminders. Clients pick a service, a staff member, and a time — no phone tag.
Who is Tableside for?
Hair salons, barbershops, nail salons, spas, massage therapists, estheticians, tattoo and piercing studios, and personal trainers. If people book time with a specific person, Tableside fits.
How much does Tableside cost?
Plans are a flat monthly price with no per-booking fees. Annual billing is cheaper than month-to-month. You can start a free trial without a credit card and change plans later.
Do I need a website to use Tableside?
No. Every business gets a public booking page on a Tableside link you can share anywhere. On Premium you can point a hostname you already own (book.yourdomain.com) at that page.
Can clients book a specific staff member?
Yes. Each service can be limited to the people who perform it. Clients choose a person or the next available opening. Couples and two-provider services book only when that many people are free at the same time.
Does Tableside send appointment reminders?
Email confirmations and reminders are included on every plan. SMS reminders and owner booking alerts are available on Pro and higher; clients opt in on the booking form.
Can I take bookings for more than one location?
Yes. One login can own multiple businesses. Each location has its own booking page, catalog, staff, and hours.
Will my booking page show up in Google?
If the business is active, has a city and state, and lists at least one service, Tableside includes the page in our sitemap and allows indexing. You can turn that off in Settings. Completing your Google Business Profile and linking the booking URL there still matters more than any meta tag.
