The small jobs book themselves at a price you set, and the long lists go out as an estimate.
One page, forty small jobs
The work that pays a handyman is forty different jobs that are all too small to drive out and quote. List them once, with a price and a length against each, and the little ones book themselves.
The customer sees what the job costs before they confirm it, which is most of what earns you the work in somebody's house.
A forty-five minute job only offers forty-five minute gaps, so a fly screen cannot quietly eat the afternoon you were saving for a fence.
Somebody has a list and no idea what any of it costs. Itemise the lot on one quote, send it the same afternoon and let them sign it off on their phone.
Price each job separately, so nothing gets forgotten on the day and nothing gets argued about after it.
They accept and sign on their phone, so the shortlist stops at you rather than running on to the next three handymen.
The signed quote becomes a job in the diary at that address, with every line already on it.
Nobody can list everything a handyman gets asked for. When somebody wants something you have never priced, it turns up as a message with the times that suit them.
Their preferred times come into your inbox, and you accept one into a slot or decline it without leaving the conversation.
It drops onto the day and the confirmation email goes out on its own.
Add it as a service with its own price and its own length, and the next person who asks books it without troubling you at all.
Any chance you could re-hang a sticking back door and put up a clothesline? Not sure what that costs.
Built for your trade
A set price per item, with how many they bought picked as an option, so a dresser and two nightstands book at the right price and length.
Priced as its own job with the mount and the cable concealment as extras that move both the price and the time you have held for it.
Two visits on one job because the mud has to dry, both held on the schedule at the same address so the second one never gets lost.
A single-storey clean books at a fixed price, and anything two storeys or over a steep roofline comes through as a request.
The October rush booked as its own service, with last fall kept on the address so you know which houses to go back to.
The classic fifteen minute fix, priced as fifteen minutes, dropped into a gap beside work you are already at.
A set price for stripping and resealing, with anything that turns out to be a leak left off your booking page entirely.
The ones nobody prices sight unseen: a site visit first, then options the customer signs online before you buy a single board.
The seasonal swap booked by how many openings they picked, so the slot you hold is as long as the job on that house really is.
Priced per run or per window as an option the customer picks, so the number on the page is the number you would have quoted on the phone.
A manager with a book of properties sits on one customer record, every address and the last turnover you did there kept separate.
A day of small pieces
Every job sits on the day at the time it actually runs. So the hour between the fence and the flick mixer is something you can see at eight in the morning and sell, instead of something you notice at four in the afternoon.
Grab a job and drop it somewhere better on the day, or across to your offsider on the team timeline. Nothing commits until you let go, and it costs nothing to do.
Each one carries its own address, its price and whatever the customer told you, so the fourth job of the day needs no phone call to work out what you are turning up to.
Draw the regions you cover on a map, and an hour of work forty minutes the wrong way never lands on your day in the first place.
Small quotes go cold in a day. See what has been sent, what has been read and what has been accepted, so the two worth a nudge are obvious.
Where it is, what it is, what it costs and when you said you would be there, attached to the booking before you have spoken to anybody.
A property manager is one customer holding many addresses, so the door you re-hung in March is still on the record when the next tenant reports it.
On Pro, every open time is scored on the driving it adds, so a forty-five minute job goes in beside work you are already doing rather than half an hour away from it.
Live drive times rank your open slots, so the short job that would have cost you an hour behind the wheel is not the one offered first.
On Free you get exactly the same real availability, the same regions and the same people, and put the work into the day yourself.
Set the small ones to be paid as they are booked and the bigger ones to settle after, then send the payment request the minute the last screw is in.
Taking the booking, quoting the job and running the day are all on the Free plan. Card payments are the one part that needs Pro.
Each service decides for itself. The half hour jobs take the money on the way through; the fence rebuild waits for a payment request, and the receipt sends itself when it clears.
The money is paid out to your own Stripe account, not held somewhere inside Bookables.

One app for the whole job
Right from your own booking page. They pick the job, see the price you set, and grab a time you are genuinely open for. The address and their notes are on the job before you load up.
Yes, and it is the easiest way to sell this work. All three go on one estimate with your recommendation marked and each one itemized, so the customer decides how much of the list gets done today.
Yes. Weather stripping, storm windows and the fall eavestrough clean each get their own price and length, and last October stays on the address, so you know which houses to go back to before the cold does.
Book a quote visit instead of the work. You look at the deck, the visit turns into a draft estimate with what you found already on it, and the visit fee can credit back against the job.
Absolutely. One customer record holds any number of addresses, each with its own notes and job history, which is how managers and general contractors actually work.
Record cash or a transfer against the job on the Free plan. Card payments come with Pro, and the money is paid out to your own Stripe account rather than held by us.
