A private studio entrance opening into warm light

The operating system for independent service businesses

Your time has a guest list.

Control who books. Protect your capacity. Price your time intelligently. And understand what every working hour is really worth.

Private access to valuable timePlans from CHF 249/month · Limited capacity

Success created a new problem.

You’re fully booked. So why does it still feel like you’re losing?

Traditional booking software helped you get booked. FDB is built for what happens after.

  1. 01Your best hours cost the same as your quietest.
  2. 02A cancellation tomorrow can turn valuable time into zero revenue.
  3. 03Your calendar is full, but you don’t know which hours actually make money.
  4. 04Your best clients compete for time with everyone else.
  5. 05The busier you become, the less control you have.

From appointments to business control

Your business doesn’t need more bookings. It needs more control.

Your availability is inventory. Your calendar is capacity. Your clients are a portfolio. Manage all three deliberately.

Capacity models

One calendar. Three ways to make it work harder.

Membership. Smart Pricing. Or both. Move from open availability to deliberate control without changing the work itself.

Keep your service prices fixed. Charge for access.

Your service has a price. Access to your time can have one too.

02 · SMART PRICING

Keep access open. Let the value of time change.

Smart Pricing adapts service pricing to demand, capacity, time, availability and lead time within owner-defined boundaries.

What time is worth

Membership determines who can book, when they can book and how much priority they receive. Smart Pricing determines what that appointment time is worth.

Built for professionals who have outgrown “just book more.”

Front Desk Bouncer is for people whose expertise, time and reputation are the core assets of the business.

Independent hair, personal training, tattoo and aesthetics professionals at work
HairPersonal trainingTattooAesthetics / clinicsIndependent expertise

It is for you if

  • Your expertise is the reason clients book
  • Your capacity is naturally limited
  • You want better clients, not simply more clients
  • Your tools show appointments but not business value
  • You are ready to become more selective
  • You want the business to work for your life

Probably not for you if

  • Your only objective is filling every available slot
  • You compete primarily through discounts
  • You want a marketplace to generate random leads
  • You are unwilling to make decisions about access
Independent hairstylist at work in a Zurich studio

Origin · Zurich

Built inside a real independent business.

Front Desk Bouncer began inside Luciano Cimmarrusti, an independent one-chair hair business in Zurich.

The challenge was not generating more demand. It was controlling it. A waiting list became a safety net before prices increased significantly, creating more time for every client without sacrificing revenue.

The operating principles behind that transformation became Front Desk Bouncer.

Fewer appointments
More time per client
Higher selectivity
Stronger pricing
More control
Demand on purpose
