Kahu Bookings is KahuLogic's online booking and appointment software for restaurants, clinics, salons, studios and any business that runs on a diary. Set your rules once; requests arrive on a live floor plan or calendar, Kahu checks capacity and turn times, and a person confirms before the guest hears a word.

Your whole day on one screen.

Set what can be booked once: hours, services, tables, rooms or practitioners. Kahu turns them into bookable slots, checks capacity on every request and keeps the diary honest.

HOW IT WORKS

Request. Check. Confirm.

Frequently asked questions

What is online booking software?

+

Online booking software lets customers request a table, appointment or class from your website, Google profile or a link, and puts the request straight into your diary. Good booking software checks availability and capacity for you, sends confirmations and reminders, and keeps the customer record. Kahu Bookings does all of that and lets a person confirm before the guest is told.

Which businesses can use Kahu Bookings?

+

Restaurants and cafés with covers and turn times, clinics and physios with practitioners and rooms, salons and barbers, studios running classes, trades and consultants booking site visits. If your day runs on a diary, Kahu Bookings fits it.

Can Kahu Bookings show bookings by day and week?

+

Yes. Switch between a day view, a week view and, for restaurants, a live floor plan with tables, covers and turn times. Each booking opens the customer's Kahu CRM record, so you see their history before they arrive.

Does Kahu confirm bookings automatically?

+

Only if you tell it to. By default a request waits in Approvals with Kahu's capacity check attached, and a person confirms in one tap. You can set rules, for example confirm parties under six automatically, and keep manual review for the rest.

Does Kahu Bookings send reminders?

+

Yes. Confirmations, reminders and follow-ups go by SMS, email or WhatsApp in your Brand Kit voice. Reminders cut no-shows, and a post-visit follow-up can ask for a Google review or offer a rebooking.

Does KahuLogic work for local service businesses like trades, salons or clinics?

+

Yes. Local service businesses are the core of KahuLogic. Kahu Bookings handles the diary, Kahu Sites keeps hours and services current on your website and Google Business Profile, Kahu Reach runs local ads and review replies, and Kahu CRM keeps every customer's history.

+

Every booking, confirmed calmly.
