How it works

A simple path from setup
to your first booking.

No website skills. No designer. No settings maze. The interactive preview shows the planned setup flow. Early pilot businesses will help validate every step before public launch.

Average setup time: 4 min 40 sec
STEP 1

Create your business

Your name, what you do, and how customers reach you. Everything autosaves as you go — close the app mid-setup and pick up right where you left off.

  • One question per screen — no overwhelming forms
  • No logo? Your business name looks great on its own

Then Ongati keeps working — so you don't have to

Every appointment kicks off a sequence that runs on its own. This is the part that replaces the receptionist.

The moment they book
Confirmation sent

Your customer gets a text from Ongati's number that opens with your business name — "Fadeworks: You're confirmed for Thu at 5:30 PM…" — plus an email from noreply@ongati.com, both with a secure link to reschedule if life happens.

Review request

A thank-you message asks for the review while the fresh cut is still in the mirror. Verified reviews land on your page.

Win-back nudge

Ongati learns each customer's rhythm. When a regular is overdue, it offers to send them their booking link — one tap from you.
