    I never had to reach out for any help with the system, there was really good information on how to use Genbook. Any time a new feature was out, the how-to video was right there with it. I hate that Genbook merged with Booksy, I've had nothing but issues with Booksy, There's no customer service at all, on any forms of communication if you need help with Booksy.

    I have used Zen Planner at 3 different Jujitsu schools. Every school that has used it, has had great success in keeping their attendance records straight for their students. This is great when promotions are coming up, or special seminars that need to reach everyone. I don't know that Zen Planner is a great product for places that don't need to communicate with their clients on a regular basis.

    Pros
    Genbook
    • Manufactured time for my more essential job duties as owner
    • It requires a credit card for all scheduling. Takes away the whole ask awkwardness.
    • Sifts out the not so serious purveyors of massage and keeps those that are.
    • Provides gift certificate purchase in increments or whole amounts. Saves me time.

    • Easy to use interface
    • Payment processing is easy for classes or for a small retail shop.
    • The free integrated mobile website is great for everyone to check out the calendar and even sign and pay from within it.
    • I can also send emails right from the platform when I need to connect with a student.

    • The only thing I would like to see, is the ability to see my entire attendance from the app. I can view it on the desktop though.

    AcuBase Pro is my practice management software. The only overlap for me is that they both function as customer databases. I would love to see integration between the software in the calendars.

    Return on Investment
    Genbook
    • Save me money. I do not need to hire a receptionist. People book directly online often without ever speaking with me.
    • People can book at all hours of day or night.

    • Saves me time in using a paper attendance record sheet.
    • Payments are automated, no need to request checks or payments from anyone. Emails are sent out if a payment fails.
    • I can keep track of 10, 20, 30, or even 50 students using this platform.
