The operating system for time
Every hour your
business sells,
in one place.
Booking and reservations for businesses that sell time. A table, a chair, a room, a practitioner's afternoon — Cadence holds the availability, prevents the clash, sends the confirmation, and shows you what is left. One record underneath, so no two screens can ever disagree.
Pick your trade at sign-up — restaurant, salon, barbershop, clinic, spa or fitness studio — and Cadence opens with a full week already in place, in that trade's own words. Guests and tables, or patients and rooms.

Reading your local time…
01The system
One booking. Five consequences.
Most scheduling tools are five products wearing one login. Cadence is one record. Take a reservation and watch what moves — availability, the person's day, the reminder queue and the utilisation figure are not modules that sync. They are five readings of the same fact.

These five figures are computed from one roster — the same one the day view below renders. Nothing here is a mock-up of a number: add the booking and the arithmetic runs again. This example is a salon; the same five readings hold for a table, a room or a treatment bay.
02The day
Cadence knows the shape of your day.
Bookings are not a list — they are a shape, with holes in it. Point at anything below: an appointment tells you what it is and how long it holds a resource, and a gap tells you how much time is unsold and what would fit in it.

03The morning read
Know the day
before it starts.
Every figure here is a count of something Cadence already holds — covers booked, tables filled, seats still for sale. No scores, no grades, no percentages invented to look impressive. When the numbers add up to something worth acting on, it says so once.

04Intelligence
It reads the week
before you do.
The day view tells you what is happening. This tells you what keeps happening. Cadence reads months of your own bookings for the patterns nobody has time to notice — and when it finds one worth acting on, it says so once, with its working shown.
Cadence noticed
moderate confidence · 6 weeks of bookings
Tuesday 2–4pm is your thinnest recurring window.
Four of the last six Tuesdays ran under a third full in that window, against 71% for the same hours on Wednesday.
SuggestedTwo of Wednesday's movable bookings would fit there without a clash.
In the app this carries Accept and Dismiss, and remembers which you chose.

- Small samples are pulled toward your own average
- One missed appointment out of two is not a 50% no-show risk. Every rate is weighted against the base rate for your workspace, so someone new reads as exactly average until their own record earns the move away from it.
- Every finding shows its working
- A number arrives with the rows it came from and how confident it is. Nothing asks to be taken on faith, and nothing claims an impact it cannot compute from your own figures.
- It stays quiet when it has nothing to say
- No empty cards, no placeholder scores, no invented urgency. A section with no basis renders as absent rather than as zero.
05Customers
Businesses that feel it.
“Cadence is the first booking tool that feels like it was designed for the guest, not just the back office. Our rebooking rate jumped within a month.”
“We run four locations off one dashboard now. The command palette alone saved my front desk team an hour a day.”
“Patients comment on the booking flow unprompted. That never happened with our old scheduler.”
