# TSF Booking > TSF Booking is appointment booking software for salons, clinics and studios in the UK. It gives a business an online booking page with deposits paid into its own Stripe account, a team diary, client records with consent, checkout, gift vouchers, packages, memberships and reports. Every plan includes a REST API and an MCP server, so AI receptionists and automations can check availability, book, move and cancel appointments under the same rules as staff. Plans: Solo £79 a month (1 bookable staff member, 1 location, 500 bookings a month); Team £149 a month (up to 8 bookable staff, 1 location, 2,000 bookings a month); Multi-site £299 a month (up to 25 bookable staff, up to 5 locations, 10,000 bookings a month). Prices include UK VAT at 20%. 7 days free, then billed monthly; cancel any time. Made by The Scaling Firm (SHINIMINI LTD), Brentwood, Essex, United Kingdom.

Put a deposit on the long or often-missed treatments, show your cancellation policy before payment, and have the money paid straight into your own card account so refunds are one click from the appointment. - [How to reduce no-shows at a salon or clinic](https://book.scalingfirm.com/guides/reduce-no-shows): Cut no-shows with four things working together: a deposit on the services that get missed, a cancellation policy clients see before they book, a reminder before the appointment, and a link that makes moving the appointment easier than ignoring it. A waiting list then refills the gaps that still appear. - [How to require a patch test before lash, brow or colour appointments](https://book.scalingfirm.com/guides/patch-test-before-booking): Add the patch test as its own service, then mark the treatments that need it. A client booking one of those treatments then needs a patch test on record a minimum number of hours before it. Record the result and the consent on the client’s profile. - [How to connect an AI receptionist to your booking system](https://book.scalingfirm.com/guides/connect-ai-receptionist-to-booking-system): Give the AI receptionist a scoped key to your booking system’s API or MCP server. It can then check real availability, hold a slot while the caller decides, send a deposit link, and move or cancel the caller’s own booking after checking who they are. Anything it cannot handle goes to a person. - [How to switch booking software without losing gift vouchers or balances](https://book.scalingfirm.com/guides/switch-without-losing-gift-vouchers): Export clients, services and balance reports from your old system, import the clients and services first, then import the balances against those clients. Make sure your new system accepts the voucher codes clients already hold, and keep the old system readable until every balance has been checked. ## Switching - [Switch from Timely](https://book.scalingfirm.com/switch/timely): Bring your clients, services, gift vouchers, packages and loyalty points across from Timely, and keep your old voucher codes working. - [Switch from Fresha](https://book.scalingfirm.com/switch/fresha): Bring your clients and services across from Fresha with a CSV export, then take deposits straight into your own Stripe account. - [Switch from SimplyBook.me](https://book.scalingfirm.com/switch/simplybook): Move from SimplyBook.me with a CSV export of your clients and services, checked row by row before anything is saved. - [Switch from Square Appointments](https://book.scalingfirm.com/switch/square): Move from Square Appointments with a CSV export of your customers and services.
