Book it as if you were the customer
Real shops running on the same system. Open one, take a slot, watch the deposit. Nothing is charged and nobody has to talk to us.
What to watch, in one minute
- Pick a service. The price follows the size of the car, or the length of the hair.
- Pick a time. Only times that are genuinely free show up, morning and afternoon apart.
- Put in a name and a phone. The deposit appears in the summary, before the payment screen.
- Go as far as the Pix. A demo code: don't pay it. The slot is held for 10 minutes and the page confirms by itself when a payment lands.
Prefer asking to clicking? Tap “Tenho uma dúvida” on the page and talk to the assistant: it only offers slots that exist.
The owner's side
Every booking lands in a panel that opens on a phone, with tomorrow's reminders ready to send from the owner's own WhatsApp.

About GroundUp
We started GroundUp because we saw too many talented business owners losing opportunities simply because they didn't have a professional online presence.
When they tried to fix it, they got stuck with confusing platforms, unexpected bills, or agencies that spoke a language they didn't understand. We knew there had to be a better way.

Frequently Asked
Questions
Everything you need to know about working with us
No. They tap the link you send on WhatsApp or put in your Instagram bio and book right there. Nothing to install, no account to create, no password to remember.
No. Your number and your phone stay exactly as they are. We set your WhatsApp away message to answer with your booking link, so every message gets an answer in a second, even at 2am.
Your booking page shows only the free slots. The customer picks one and the slot is held while the deposit is pending. With MB WAY, the payment request goes to their phone the moment they book and the booking confirms itself when they pay. Without it, you settle the deposit with them and confirm it in one tap in your panel. You choose the deposit amount and how late someone can still cancel or move.
We sign a simple contract before we start, so you know exactly what you pay and what you get. If you decide to stop, tell us and we close your booking page. Your customers and their appointments are yours, and we send you the list if you ask.
Every evening your panel has the next day's reminders ready. One tap sends each one from your own WhatsApp, so customers see your name and can reply to you directly. There is no cost per message.
No. The booking page only offers slots that are free at that moment, and the system itself refuses a second booking that overlaps the first with the same professional or in the same chair.
Online booking starts at €19 a month for one chair, plus a €49 one-time setup. Pay yearly and you get 2 months free. If you add MB WAY, Stripe charges its fee on each deposit (1.5% + €0.25), billed by them. There is no cost per message and no commission per booking.
Setup takes one to two hours with you, in person or on a call. We load your services, prices, opening hours, staff and the appointments you already have, put your booking link in your WhatsApp away message and Instagram bio, and test it with you. You keep your number and install nothing: the panel opens on your phone.
Just message us. Changes to services, prices, opening hours and days off are done within 48h, at no extra cost. And if something stops working, maintenance is included.
