schdl.me is the back office for a UK service business. Solo, team, or chain. It handles bookings, your schedule, your customers, your money, and the insights that tell you where to focus next. Used by salons, barbers, therapists, trainers, instructors, and similar service businesses where the owner is hands-on.

Is schdl.me a marketplace?

schdl.me is a tool, not a marketplace. Your booking page is yours, at your URL, branded for you, taking direct bookings from your customers. We charge a flat monthly subscription rather than a cut of what your clients pay you, and we never put another business in front of your customers.

How much does schdl.me cost?

Plans run from £9.99/mo (Lite, 1 seat) up to £149.99/mo (Scale, 10 seats). Lite covers the essentials; Solo and above include every feature and differ by capacity: team size and text volume. Annual saves you a month.

Do I need to change how my clients book?

No. You can add appointments manually from day one, whether they come in by phone, walk-in, or message. Your clients start receiving automatic reminders without any change on their end. The online booking page is available when you want it but you do not need it to get value from the platform from day one.

Will schdl.me contact my customers?

Only to send transactional messages on your behalf, in your name. These are appointment confirmations, reminders, cancellation notifications, rescheduling confirmations, and deposit or payment confirmations. We will never contact your customers for marketing, promotional, or any other purpose.

What types of business can use schdl.me?

schdl.me is built for UK service-based businesses that take appointments. This includes hair and beauty salons, barbershops, massage therapy, health and wellness, fitness and personal training, driving schools, photography, pet services, home services, alternative therapies, legal and consulting, and medical or private clinics.
