- A company sets up a Reservv site and posts it on their website or business card.

- A customer wants to schedule an appointment with the company, so they visit the link (e.g. http://www.Reservv.com/Demo).

- The customer is presented with a list of services offered by the company.

- The customer is able to choose a date and time for their appointment from the available openings. Dates and times can be displayed in the customer's time zone if the company does business in different time zones.

- The customer decides how they'd like to be reminded (phone, text or email) and schedules the appointment.

- The business owner, employee and/or customer receives an appointment confirmation via email/text. When the appointment nears, the business owner, employee and/or customer receives an appointment reminder via email/text/phone. The customer can cancel the appointment via email/text/phone when the reminder is delivered.

It's a win-win situation for all parties involved. The business owner saves time. The employees are notified of new appointments. Customers can schedule at their own convenience.

I think its cool. :)

Here's a suggestion though. Seeing as its an appointment making service basically most companies would like to have this service through their own sites.

So, it would be rad if you made a javascript plugin that your clients can pop in their own sites so that their clients can make appointments right from their own site.

Or maybe even create an API to pull the services, appointments times, and schedule the appointment.

Yeah sure. But something tells me it'll be less technical people who'll use this service(which is better imho :D) so I'd focus on a simpler plug and play solution.

But setting up an API wouldn't be too hard so why not.
