For nutritionists

The plan falls apart at the second follow-up

The first consultation runs an hour and everybody asks for it. The twenty-minute follow-up three weeks later is the one nobody books. Publish both at their real length, let the patient book the next one before they leave, and let the reminder do the rest.

Where the follow-up goes

Nutrition work does not fail at the first consultation.

  1. The follow-up nobody books

    The first consultation asks for itself. The second has to be asked for again, three weeks later, once the enthusiasm has worn off. Almost nobody writes in for that.

  2. An hour and twenty minutes are not the same thing

    If the calendar has one length, either the first consultation comes up short or you burn three follow-ups every time somebody books one.

  3. The first consultation that does not turn up

    It is the longest one and the easiest to miss, because they have not met you yet. An empty hour at three in the afternoon is not filled by anyone.

What keeps the follow-ups coming

Length first, then what brings the patient back.

An hour and twenty minutes, one afternoon

Each window you publish is one appointment at its own length: 15:00 to 16:00 for a first consultation and 16:15 to 16:35 for a follow-up. There is no global duration forcing you to pick one.

The follow-up reminder

An automatic email the day before with the day and the time. It is what saves the three-week follow-up, which is precisely the one people forget.

  • A deposit on the first consultation

    Switch the deposit on and it applies to what gets booked with you, at the amount and in the currency you set. The patient transfers to your account, uploads the receipt, and you approve it from the dashboard with the image in front of you; until then the booking reads pending.

  • The next follow-up, booked today

    Patients can book up to two months ahead, and you decide how many appointments each may book with you. Two is enough to make sure nobody leaves without the next date in the diary, as long as you raise it as the patient keeps coming back: the cap counts the check-ups already done too.

  • Your consultations in your calendar

    A read-only feed you subscribe to from Google Calendar or your phone. Consultations show up beside the rest of your day, with nothing to copy across.

The first thing we are asked

“Does this work if I see people over video?”

It works on the part that hurts, which is the diary: the patient picks a time, the slot is theirs on the spot, and the reminder arrives the day before. The video link goes in your service description, which is what the patient reads before booking -- the reminder does not carry it. The app does not run the call: it settles who is coming in and when.

How it works

Three steps, and the middle one is no longer yours.

  1. 1

    Your dashboard

    Publish your hours

    Set your week once: which days you work and at what hours, how long an appointment lasts and the break you want between them, and your hours are split into times clients can book. Services can each have their own length. Then add the one-off dates and the days you are closed.

  2. 2

    What your client sees

    Your clients book themselves

    At any hour, from their own account. They pick a slot that is open and the booking is taken then and there, with the day and the time in their own list. Two people cannot end up with the same slot: the database refuses the second booking outright, rather than leaving you to catch it afterwards.

  3. 3

    Your dashboard

    You collect the deposit and the calendar fills

    If you ask for a deposit, the client transfers the money and uploads the receipt, and the deposit is settled once you approve it from your dashboard. A reminder goes out the day before and, if someone cancels, the waitlist hears about it by email.

Common questions

What people ask before they start.

Can a patient book next month’s follow-up on the day of the consultation?

Yes, as long as the cap on appointments per patient leaves room. The window runs to two months, so a follow-up three or four weeks out always fits. That is the only way the follow-up exists at all: booked now, not in three weeks. And since the cap counts appointments already past, revisit it once a patient has been coming for a while.

Does the app store weight, plans or history?

No. It stores a name, an email and a time. There is no weight field, no meal plan and no history, and that is not an oversight: none of it is meant to exist. Your clinical records stay wherever they are today.

What if somebody books a first consultation when they meant a follow-up?

That is the cost of every window being an appointment: the patient picks a time, not a service. The hour-long windows are first consultations and the twenty-minute ones are follow-ups, and you say so in your service description. If they get it wrong anyway you fix it from the dashboard — there is no service menu standing in the way.

Do my clients need an account?

That is up to you. Switch guest booking on — it arrives switched off — and a name and an email are enough: no account, no password, the booking is confirmed by email, and that same link is how they cancel. Leave it off and the client creates an account with a confirmed email address, and in exchange sees all their bookings in one place and cancels the ones they cannot make. Either way, they get the reminder by email the day before.

How do deposits work?

You decide whether to ask for a deposit, how much, and in which currency, and you write the transfer instructions your clients see. They transfer the money and upload the receipt; you look at it and approve or reject it from your dashboard. Until you approve it, the receipt shows as pending.

What happens when someone cancels?

Your dashboard updates without a reload. If nobody is waiting on that day, the slot goes back on the public list immediately. If people are queued, the freed slot is emailed to the first few of them and held for half an hour: for that stretch it is offered to nobody else, and the first of them to take it keeps it. If none of them does, it goes back on the public list.

Can I plug it into my website or my calendar?

Yes. There is a widget to paste into your page, so clients book without leaving your site, and an ICS feed you subscribe to from Google Calendar, Outlook or your phone. The feed is read-only: appointments flow into your calendar, but what you put in Google does not block hours here.

Does it work if I also see people without a booking?

Yes. Whoever turns up unbooked you enter by hand, with a name and no account, and they are filed at the time they arrived. And if you want air between two appointments, set a break between appointments in your schedule, and those minutes never reach whoever is booking.

How much does it cost?

The first 30 days are free, with everything included and no card. After that it is a flat monthly subscription: the same price whether you take ten appointments or two hundred, with no commission per booking or per deposit. If you decide not to continue, nothing is charged and your data stays where it is.

Start with one week of follow-ups

Publish your hours once and the next follow-up is in the diary before the patient leaves the room.
