Online Booking & Ordering System Development
Online appointment booking, class and table reservations and direct ordering for clinics, salons, gyms, restaurants, schools and service businesses, with your own branding and no commission on every order.
Stop losing bookings to the phone
If customers can only book by phone, message or email, you lose the ones who want to book at 10pm, and your team spends the day answering the same questions. Third-party booking and ordering apps fix that but take a commission or fee on every order and own the customer relationship.
A custom booking or ordering system runs on your own website, follows your rules for availability, staff, rooms, deposits and cancellations, and connects to the calendar, payment and messaging tools you already use.

Gyms and fitness classes
Class timetables, capacity limits, waitlists, memberships and passes.

Table booking and commission-free online ordering for pickup and delivery.
Schools and training providers
Room, lesson and course booking, including driving schools and after-school clubs.
Cleaning and home services

Booking SaaS or custom?
| Booking SaaS | Custom booking system | |
|---|---|---|
| Best when | Simple appointments for one location | Several locations, resources or rules a SaaS cannot model |
| Cost model | Monthly fee, sometimes per staff member or booking | Build cost plus hosting; no commission |
| Customer data | Held by the vendor | Held by you |
For a single-location salon or clinic with standard appointments, a booking SaaS is often the right answer. We build custom when the rules, scale or integrations need it.
What it costs
Booking and ordering systems are web applications. DevGlim web apps start from $1,200, and a normally scoped web application typically falls in the range of $1,200–$3,000. A booking-ready business website starts from $700.
What you always get
- You own the source code, the data and the accounts the system runs on.
- A written scope with a price and timeline per phase before work starts.
- Working software to review at every milestone, not one reveal at the end.
- Documentation, so another team could maintain the system later.
Frequently asked questions
How much does a custom online booking system cost?
DevGlim web apps start from $1,200 and usually fall between $1,200–$3,000. The main factors are the number of locations, staff and resources, payment rules and integrations.
Can customers pay a deposit when booking?
Yes. Deposits, full prepayment and cancellation fees can be taken through your payment provider.
Can it send reminders?
Yes. Email, SMS or WhatsApp reminders reduce no-shows, and customers can reschedule from the link.
Is a clinic booking system HIPAA compliant?
Compliance depends on what data is collected, where it is stored and which vendors process it. We map those data flows and implement the agreed technical controls; the legal requirements are confirmed by you and your advisers.
Can restaurants take orders without paying commission?
Yes. Direct online ordering on your own website avoids per-order commission. You pay for the build, hosting and payment processing.
