Two bookings come in, two different ways.
Kofi wants a deep tissue massage at home at nine. Abena wants ninety minutes at the studio at two. Each chose where on the same booking page, and each saw their own price.
How booking worksFor cleaning teams, therapists, salons and studios
Run the whole business, not just the calendar.
Alevro takes the booking and the deposit, books the right person, at your studio or at their door, and gets the invoice paid. One calendar, however many ways you work.
No card. A person sets it up with you. Leave when you like.
What's your business like?
A booking page as your customer sees it, on a made-up business in Accra.
Built alongside the businesses that use it.

Alevro began as Blueray's booking system and grew up beside the other two. Six businesses pay for it today.
Card payments by Stripe, paid straight to your own account. We never hold your money.
Before Alevro
The work you did for free last month.

After
One Tuesday, start to finish.
07:41
A drive in the morning, a room in the afternoon.
For Kofi, Alevro checked Esi could get there. For Abena, it held Esi and the room together. One calendar, so the two can never collide.
The schedule, and the rest of operationsThe schedule. Hatched blocks are drives; the outlined ones are the booking that just came in.
08:30
Esi has the whole day on her phone.
Kofi's address and what he wrote about his back, then the studio at two. It's there before she sets off, and it still works with no signal.
- Opens from a link. No app store.
- Keeps working with no signal, and sends when it's back.
- Shows each person what they've earned this week.
15:35
Done, and paid.
Esi records what Kofi paid at the door, with the tip. Abena pays at the desk. Both land in the same day's takings.
18:30
The day closes itself.
Home visits and studio work on one screen, and both brands if you run more than one. What came in, what's owed, and what each person earned.
Booked, done, paid.
You go to them. They come to you. Or both.
Most software makes you pick: built for vans, or built for chairs. Alevro runs one calendar for a cleaner driving between villas and a therapist working from one room. Do both, or run more than one brand, and each person still has one day.
Your name on the door, not ours.
Your brand gets its own site on its own domain, with live prices and booking built in. Change the words and photos on the page itself, and publish when you're happy. Already have a site you like? Keep it, and add booking with one line of code.
How the sites work
The only Alevro your customers see is a small credit in the footer.

Starting is the easy part.
- Bring everything with you.Customers, services, your team and upcoming bookings come across from a spreadsheet or Google Sheets, and your client list straight from your phone's contacts, Fresha, Booksy, Jobber or Square. You check every row before anything is saved, and any import can be undone for 30 days. Saved cards can't move, so customers add one at their next booking. How moving over works
- Or we'll set it up with you.Rather not do it yourself? Bring your price list and your hours. We build your services, your booking page and your site, and show your team the app.
- 14 days free, no card.They start the day we hand over your finished account, not the day you ask.
- Leave when you like.No contract. Your domain and your Stripe account are yours either way.
Questions owners ask us.
Do my customers need an account to book?
No. They book with a name, a phone number and an email, and move or cancel from the link in their confirmation. If they want to sign in, they get a code by email. No passwords.
Who holds my money?
You do. Card payments go through your own Stripe account and are paid out to your bank by Stripe. We never hold it.
What does it cost?
One price for each person who had a booking that month, and 1% on card payments taken through Alevro, on top of Stripe's own fee. Cash costs nothing. Rooms, chairs and vans are free.
Will it work where I am?
Canada and the UAE: yes, with card payments. Ghana: booking, the schedule and the crew app work today, and customers pay at the visit. Mobile money is coming.
I already have a website. Do I have to change it?
No. Add booking to it with one line of code, or move to an Alevro site later.
Can I bring my customers from my old tool?
Yes. Customers, services, your team and upcoming bookings come across from a spreadsheet or Google Sheets, and your client list straight from your phone's contacts, Fresha, Booksy, Jobber or Square. You see every row before anything is saved, upcoming bookings are checked against your real schedule, and any import can be undone for 30 days. Saved cards can't move: they belong to your old tool's payment provider, so customers add a card at their next booking. Rather not do it yourself? We'll do it with you.
What don't you do yet?
Text and WhatsApp reminders (email only for now), mobile money, a card reader, gift cards and packages. We'd rather tell you now.
Alevro started as a booking system for one cleaning company in Dubai. Blueray's customers wanted a price and a time. What they got was a form, and a wait. So we built them a page that showed the price, offered only the times the team could really make, and took the booking there and then.
Then came a massage therapist, a cleaning company in Ottawa and a nail studio in Accra. Different trades, the same week: quoting by message, chasing deposits, finding out about a double booking at the door. That was when it stopped being one company's booking page and became Alevro.
Six businesses pay for it today. It's a small number, and I'd rather give you the real one. It also means that if you start, I set your account up myself, and when you write to us, the reply comes from me.
