The operating system for independent service businesses
Your time has a guest list.
Control who books. Protect your capacity. Price your time intelligently. And understand what every working hour is really worth.
Plans from CHF 249/month. No application required for Core or Pro.
Control the front deskBuilt for limited capacity
Success created a new problem.
You’re fully booked. So why does it still feel like you’re losing?
01Your best hours cost the same as your quietest.
02A cancellation tomorrow can turn valuable time into zero revenue.
03Your calendar is full, but you don’t know which hours actually make money.
04Your best clients compete for time with everyone else.
05The busier you become, the less control you have.
Traditional booking software helped you get booked. FDB is built for what happens after.
Immediate value
Your business doesn’t need more bookings. It needs more control.
A different operating model
Booking software manages appointments. FDB manages the business behind them.
Your availability is inventory. Your calendar is capacity. Your clients are a portfolio. Manage all three deliberately.
Traditional booking software
Opens available time to everyone
Measures how full the calendar is
Treats every booking as equally valuable
Reacts after capacity becomes a problem
Stores data without explaining it
Front Desk Bouncer
Controls who receives access
Measures the value of the calendar
Connects clients, services, time and revenue
Protects capacity before it disappears
Turns business data into decisions
Capacity models
One calendar. Three ways to make it work harder.
Membership. Smart Pricing. Or both.
Standard booking platformDifferent demand. Same access. Same price.
Show availability. Charge for the service.

Monetize access
Keep your service prices fixed. Charge for access.
Membership pays for access to the calendar. The appointment separately pays for the service received.
MEMBERSHIPPays for access / priority
SERVICEPays for the appointment
Your service has a price. Access to your time can have one too.
Price demand
Keep access open. Let the value of time change.
Smart Pricing adapts service pricing to demand, capacity, time, availability and lead time within owner-defined boundaries.
Tuesday · 14:00CHF 160
Wednesday · 10:00CHF 180
Friday · 17:00CHF 210
Saturday · 11:00CHF 230
YOU SET THE RULES. FDB WORKS INSIDE THEM.
Combine both
Control access. Price demand.
Membership determines who can book, when they can book and how much priority they receive. Smart Pricing determines what that appointment time is worth.
MEMBERSHIP ACCESSWho gets in + when.
SMART PRICINGWhat the time is worth.
Control who gets access. Control what the time is worth.
FDB doesn’t tell you how to run your business. It gives you the system to run it your way.
Your front desk. Your control room.

FDB recommendationBuilt for professionals who have outgrown “just book more.”
Front Desk Bouncer is for people whose expertise, time and reputation are the core assets of the business.
It is for you if
- Your expertise is the reason clients book
- Your capacity is naturally limited
- You want better clients, not simply more clients
- Your tools show appointments but not business value
- You are ready to become more selective
- You want the business to work for your life
It is probably not for you if
- Your only objective is filling every available slot
- You compete primarily through discounts
- You want a marketplace to generate random leads
- You are unwilling to make decisions about access
Origin
Built inside a real independent business.
Front Desk Bouncer began inside Luciano Cimmarrusti, an independent one-chair hair business in Zurich.
The challenge was not generating more demand. It was controlling it. A waiting list became a safety net before prices increased significantly, creating more time for every client without sacrificing revenue.
The operating principles behind that transformation became Front Desk Bouncer.
Fewer appointmentsMore time per client
Higher selectivityStronger pricing
More controlDemand on purpose

FAQ
Clear answers before you start.
Do I need to apply for FDB?
No. Core and Pro can be started directly. Private is available by application for businesses requiring more advanced infrastructure, customization or support.
How does Smart Pricing work?
You define the boundaries. FDB uses demand, capacity, time and availability to recommend or apply pricing within those rules.
Can I use FDB as a solo professional?
Yes. Core is designed for independent professionals. Pro and Private add deeper intelligence and scale.
Is setup included?
FDB Setup is optional for Core and Pro at CHF 900 once, and included with Private.
Your calendar is not public property.
Every appointment is a decision about who receives your time, which work receives your energy and what kind of business you are building.
Front Desk Bouncer gives that decision a system.
