Booking software for Irish businesses · 0% commission
Own your bookings. Stop paying monthly fees.
Booking platforms charge you every month — and often per booking — for something your own website can do better. We build booking systems that belong to you: no subscriptions, no commissions, no platform between you and your customers.

Your own system vs booking platforms
Fresha, Booksy, OpenTable and similar platforms are convenient — but you pay for that convenience forever. Here is the honest comparison.
| Your own systembuilt by WebsiteOK | Booking platformsFresha · Booksy · OpenTable | |
|---|---|---|
| Monthly subscription | None | €30–100+ every month |
| Commission per booking | None | Per-booking or per-cover fees |
| Customer data | Yours, on your website | Held by the platform |
| Your branding | 100% your design | Platform look, their logo |
| Customers see competitors | Never | Often listed side by side |
| SEO benefit | Bookings strengthen YOUR site | Traffic strengthens their site |
| Long-term cost | One-off build + small yearly hosting | Fees forever, rising with success |
A typical salon or restaurant pays €600–1,200+ every year in platform fees. Your own system pays for itself in about two years — and then keeps earning.
How it works
1. Customer books
On your website: they pick a service, date and time from your real availability — on any device, at any hour.
2. Everyone is notified
Instant confirmation email to the customer, notification to your team. Cancellation links included — no phone tag.
3. You stay in control
A simple admin panel: see bookings by day or week, block holidays, change hours, manage services and prices.

Frequently Asked Questions
How is this different from Fresha, Booksy or OpenTable?
Those platforms rent you a booking service: you pay monthly fees or commissions forever, your customers become their users, and your data lives on their servers. We build the booking system into your own website — you pay once for the build, keep every booking commission-free, and own all your customer data.
How much does a booking system cost?
A standalone booking system starts from €1,997 (build, setup and training). If we are building your website too, the booking module can be added from €800. Yearly running costs are minimal — typically around €100–150 for hosting and maintenance.
What kind of businesses is it for?
Any business that takes bookings: restaurants and cafés (tables), clinics and physios (appointments), salons and barbers, consultants and advisors, activity providers, trades that book call-outs. The flow is tailored to how your customers actually book.
Can it prevent double bookings?
Yes — availability comes from your working hours minus existing bookings and blocked slots, enforced at the database level. Two customers can never book the same slot.
Can customers cancel or reschedule?
Yes. Every confirmation email contains a secure manage-booking link. Your team can also cancel or move bookings from the admin panel, with automatic email notifications.
What technology is it built on?
Modern, proven tools: Next.js (the same framework behind our fastest websites), a managed Postgres database and transactional email delivery. No plugins to break, no platform to shut down on you.
Can I take deposits or payments at booking?
Yes — we can add PayPal or Stripe so customers pay a deposit or the full amount when booking. Great for reducing no-shows.
