Why Kerbside

More than a booking tool. A system that grows your business.

Most booking apps stop at the calendar. Kerbside keeps working after every job is done.

No more no-shows

Customers pay a deposit to lock in the booking. Automatic SMS and email reminders fire 48 hrs and 2 hrs before. If they cancel late, the deposit stays with you.

Customers who keep coming back

Automatic "you're due" nudges, win-back SMS for lapsed customers, and referral rewards turn a one-off job into a loyal relationship — without you lifting a finger.

Money in your account

Payments go straight into your own Stripe account — not held by a platform. Take a deposit at booking and collect the balance on the day. Zero per-booking cut on paid plans.

A reputation that sells for you

Post-job review requests sent automatically. Your live Google star rating shows on your booking page — AI drafts the replies. A track record that wins the next customer.

Your calendar runs itself

Every booking flows into your calendar automatically — Google, Apple or Outlook, per staff member. Subscribe once with a link: no sign-in, no setup. Kerbside's own capacity rules keep you from double-booking.

Every pricing model covered

Fixed prices, hourly rates, quote-on-request, size surcharges — Kerbside handles them all. Show a full service menu or a simple "request a quote" form. You decide what customers see.

Meet Aria

How it works

Set up once. Runs on its own.

Pick your industry on sign-up and your services, questions, and pricing are pre-filled. You just set your hours and hit publish.

1

Build your page

Pick your trade — car detailing, cleaning, lawn care, plumbing, or any other service business. We pre-fill the right services and questions. Add your prices and hours. Done.

2

Share your link

Put your booking URL in your Instagram bio, on a flyer, or as a QR code on your van. Customers book and pay a deposit online. Aria handles any calls. You get notified instantly.

3

Watch it grow

After every job, Kerbside asks for a review, nudges customers when they're due back, and follows up on lapsed ones. Revenue grows without you doing anything extra.

Everything included

One platform. Your whole business.

Replace a stack of single-purpose apps with one system built for how service businesses actually work.

Online booking + deposits

Customers book and pay a deposit in one flow. Capacity-aware calendar, vehicle size surcharges, distance pricing — never a double-booking.

AI phone receptionist

Aria answers calls, quotes prices from your service menu, and books appointments around the clock. Call transcripts saved to your dashboard. Never miss a lead.

Staff logins & scheduling

Invite your team with individual logins. Each staff member gets their own calendar link — new bookings appear automatically in Google, Apple or Outlook.

Memberships & repeat plans

Sell recurring membership plans with included visits. Predictable monthly revenue, configurable entitlements — the wash-club model that high-earning detailers swear by.

Gift cards

Sell gift cards for a single service or any service. Delivered by SMS on a schedule. Great for birthdays, Father's Day, and word-of-mouth referrals from happy customers.

Marketing on autopilot

Email campaigns, win-back SMS for lapsed customers, abandoned booking recovery, referral rewards, and rebooking nudges — all automated, all customisable, all included.

Reviews & Google rating

Post-job review requests go out automatically. Your live Google star rating appears on your booking page. AI drafts replies to every review — five stars builds your funnel.

Quotes for custom jobs

Some jobs need a site visit before pricing. A "request a quote" page captures photos and job details — you reply with a price and the customer accepts or declines online.

Service area & distance pricing

Define the suburbs you cover. Add a travel fee that kicks in past a free radius — customers see the exact charge before they confirm. Set a hard limit and the booking page enforces it.

Custom intake forms

Collect exactly what you need — address, rego, pet breed, job photos, access notes. Build your own form with any field type. Set which questions appear per service.

Customer CRM

Every customer's booking history, total spend, last visit, and notes in one place. Send balance payment links by SMS and rebook reminders with one click.

Customer self-service portal

Customers manage their own bookings — reschedule, cancel, or pay the balance — without calling you. Cancellation windows and late-cancel policies are enforced automatically.

Your website, your brand

Looks the part from day one.

Three free templates — colours, logo, hero image — all yours.

Classic
Free

Clean, trustworthy, deposit-first layout that converts browsers to bookers.

Bold
Free

Dark, high-end feel — makes premium services look exactly that.

Fresh
Free

Bright, friendly, photo-forward — great for outdoor and lifestyle trades.

Pick your industry on sign-up and we pre-configure the right services, questions, and wording for your trade. Whatever template you choose, the booking and payment flow is identical.

What businesses say

Real results from real businesses.

"Before Kerbside I was chasing people for deposits and getting ghosted constantly. Now every booking comes with a $50–$100 deposit and I haven't had a no-show in four months. The reminders do the work for me."

"The AI phone receptionist was the feature that sold me. I was missing calls while on a job and losing those customers to someone else. Now Aria books them in and I just see the notification when I'm done. Game changer."

"Set up took me about 15 minutes. Had my first online booking within two hours of putting the link in my Instagram bio. The membership feature is bringing in a solid extra $800 a month from regulars on my wash club plan."

FAQ

Common questions.

Do I need a website already?
No — Kerbside gives you a complete booking website out of the box. Pick a template, add your services and prices, and you have a live booking page with its own URL (kerbside.com/yourbusiness) or your own custom domain. You can also embed the booking flow into an existing site.
How does Kerbside make money on paid plans if it charges 0%?
Paid plans are flat-fee SaaS — we earn from the monthly subscription, not from your bookings. A $2.95 platform booking fee is charged directly to the customer at checkout (separate from your price). On the free plan, we also take 3% of the booking total. Stripe processes payments on your own account, so money goes directly to you.
How does the AI phone receptionist (Aria) work?
Aria uses your service menu, pricing, and availability to have a real conversation with callers. When someone calls your Kerbside number, Aria introduces herself, answers questions, quotes your prices, checks your live calendar, and books the appointment — then sends the customer a confirmation SMS. You get a notification and a full transcript. Aria is an add-on available on any plan.
Can customers pay a deposit only, or do they pay in full?
You control this. Set any deposit percentage (e.g. 20%) and customers pay that amount at booking. You collect the balance on the day via bank transfer, cash, or a payment link sent from your dashboard. You can also offer "pay in full" at checkout, or make certain services quote-only with no upfront payment.
What's the difference between Growth and Pro?
Growth is ideal for solo operators or small teams — you get 0%, 3 staff logins, email campaigns, gift cards, and referrals. Pro adds memberships (the "wash club" subscription model), win-back SMS for customers who haven't returned, abandoned booking recovery, and AI tools for content. If predictable recurring revenue matters to your business, Pro's memberships alone usually pay for the difference.
How long does setup actually take?
Most businesses are live in under 15 minutes. Pick your industry, confirm the pre-filled services and questions, set your hours and deposit %, and connect Stripe. We pre-configure everything for your trade so you're not starting from a blank page. More advanced options — service area maps, multiple staff, custom intake forms — can be set up at your own pace.
