A front desk for the price of a few blowouts a month
Your stylists can't answer the phone while they're at the chair. Online booking doesn't catch everyone. Otofi answers every call, books with the right stylist at the right time, and reaches out to clients who haven't been back in six weeks.

The Cost of a Missed Call
What every unanswered call costs your business
average lifetime value of a returning salon client per year
A client who can't get through to book doesn't always try the online system, they call the salon down the street. For a salon doing 200 bookings a month, even a 5% call-to-book improvement is 10 additional appointments. At $60–120 each, that's $600–1,200 a month in recovered revenue. Add in the clients you don't have to reach out to yourself for rebooking, and the math gets better fast.
