Does Booker Care About it’s Customers?

Does Booker Care About it’s Customers? The simple and troubling answer to that opening question is, “I don’t know.” Unlike most of my posts here on Booker Problems that are factual articles about the bugs and quirks of the software platform , or just ways to make it better, this piece is all about my […]

For Some Unknown Reason Booker is Allowing Double Booking Chaos

On Saturday, 1-11-20, I needed to add a client to my schedule. Since I was out of my office, I grabbed my iOS device and added the appointment using the Booker app. After selecting the client and service type, I clicked the “Book Appointment” button to save the changes.

Booker Does Not Allow Admin to Set Up Complete Customer Profiles

This kind of bizarre change always baffles me.

Furthermore, Booker considers an appointment that has been paid for to be “closed” and therefore allows other customers to schedule that time slot even […]

The Dreaded HTTP Error 400 in Booker

This little booger has been around for years and rears its ugly little head for me about every 2-3 months. I’m a Mac user. I use Safari and Google Chrome as my web browsers of choice. Booker does not play well with Safari and openly states this with a yellow banner if you try. Booker seems to […]
