The client sends a text
A customer uses the barber's approved dedicated texting number and asks about a haircut, price or opening.
SIMPLE FOR CUSTOMERS · CONTROLLED FOR OWNERS
A customer texts. ZenLue helps move it forward.
Our first planned pilot uses a dedicated SMS number (Mode C), not the barber's existing personal number. The actual SMS channel and automatic bookings are still awaiting production verification and carrier approval.
THE SOLO-BARBER EXPERIENCE
From “need a cut” to a checked appointment.
This describes the intended flow. The website demo is simulated, and no real booking happens here.
Check the approved calendar
The scheduling engine checks service duration, business hours, time off, booked appointments and buffers before offering a time.
Customer explicitly accepts
If all policy and availability checks pass, the production workflow is designed to confirm the booking. Anything uncertain needs review.
Automatic booking has passed local engineering exercises but has not finished hosted acceptance or real provider-backed delivery. This page does not represent a live booking service.
FOR OTHER BUSINESS TYPES
Not every customer needs a booking.
For a contractor, the useful next step might be an estimate request. For a cleaner, it might be service details. For a salon, it might be an appointment inquiry.
ZenLue is designed around configured rules and owner handoffs—not automatic commitments the business hasn't approved.

ROADMAP · SEPARATE FROM CORE
What about customers who call instead?
Missed-call to textback on an existing number is an intended later feature. It requires compatible carrier forwarding, a lawful consent basis and independent approval. A missed call alone does not grant SMS consent; ZenLue does not answer live voice calls.
