Radius Booking — Booking Calendar for Appointments, Services, Events & Meetings

Radius Booking is the WordPress booking plugin built for service businesses that need appointment scheduling, event registration, and meeting coordination in a single solution. Whether you run a salon, medical practice, cleaning company, coaching studio, or consulting firm, Radius Booking replaces phone calls, paper calendars, and back-and-forth emails with an automated booking system that works around the clock.

Unlike other appointment booking plugins that only handle simple time slots, Radius Booking covers three distinct booking needs — service appointments, event registrations, and team meetings from one unified dashboard. The Pro version adds an AI-Powered booking assistant (powered by OpenAI or Google Gemini with your own API key) that lets customers schedule through natural conversation, delivering a modern scheduling experience your clients actually enjoy using.

What makes RadiusBooking different?
Our AI-Powered booking assistant lets customers schedule appointments through natural conversation. Instead of clicking through forms, they simply tell the chatbot what they need—and the booking happens automatically. It’s appointment scheduling that feels human.

✅ Why Use Radius Booking?

Every service business loses revenue to scheduling friction — missed calls, double bookings, no-shows, and the hours spent manually coordinating calendars. Radius Booking eliminates these problems and gives your business measurable advantages:

Accept Bookings 24/7, Even While You Sleep
Your booking calendar works around the clock. Customers schedule appointments, register for events, or book meetings at any time — no staff required. Businesses using online booking systems typically capture 30-40% more appointments by being available outside office hours.

Eliminate No-Shows With Upfront Payments
Require full payments or deposits at booking time through PayPal or Stripe. When customers have financial commitment, no-show rates drop significantly. Your cash flow becomes predictable and your schedule stays full.

Save 5-10 Hours Per Week on Admin Work
Stop managing appointments manually. Automated confirmations, reminders, calendar syncing, and customer management free your team to focus on delivering great service instead of answering phones and updating spreadsheets.

Let AI Handle the Booking Conversation [Pro]
The AI booking assistant understands natural language — powered by OpenAI or Google Gemini using your own API key. Customers type “I need a haircut with Sarah next Tuesday afternoon” and the assistant checks availability, confirms details, and completes the booking — no forms, no friction. You stay in full control of your AI provider and costs.

One Plugin for Appointments, Events, and Meetings
Most booking plugins handle only one booking type. Radius Booking manages service appointments, event registrations, and internal or client meetings from a single dashboard — reducing plugin bloat and simplifying your workflow.

Classified Listing Plugin Integration

Deep integration with our Classified Listing – Classified ads and Business Directoey plugin. By combining this with the Radius Booking, you can instantly transform a standard business directory into a fully functional service marketplace with integrated booking capabilities.

🌟 Who Uses Radius Booking?

Radius Booking serves any business that relies on appointments, events, or scheduled services. Here is how different industries use this service booking plugin:

Salons & Spas
Hair stylists, nail technicians, massage therapists, and estheticians use Radius Booking to let clients book their preferred services and staff members online. Customers choose their stylist, pick a time slot, and pay, all without a phone call. Buffer times between appointments give staff preparation time, and recurring bookings keep regulars on a consistent schedule.

Healthcare Providers
Doctors, dentists, clinics, chiropractors, and therapists streamline patient scheduling with automated confirmations and reminders. The custom fields feature collects intake information during booking, and the customer management panel maintains organized patient records with booking history and visit notes.

Home & Cleaning Service
Roofing contractors, plumbers, electricians, HVAC technicians, and cleaning services use the booking calendar to let homeowners request service appointments directly from their websites. Custom fields capture job details, service areas, and special requirements upfront, reducing back-and-forth communication and improving first-visit resolution.

Education & Tutoring
Private tutors, music teachers, language instructors, and academic coaches manage student sessions efficiently. Recurring appointment features make weekly lessons simple to schedule, and Google Calendar sync keeps tutors organized across multiple students.

Fitness & Wellness
Personal trainers, yoga studios, pilates instructors, and gym facilities handle class bookings and one-on-one training sessions. Multiple staff calendars keep everyone’s schedule organized, and the customer dashboard lets clients manage their own bookings.

Consultation Businesses
Consultants, lawyers, accountants, financial advisors, and marketing agencies offer professional appointment booking directly through their WordPress sites. Accept deposits to reduce no-shows, and use Google Meet or Zoom integration for virtual consultations.

Event Organizers
Workshop hosts, seminar organizers, community groups, and training providers manage event registrations, track attendance capacity, and collect payments — all through the same booking system they use for appointments.

Coaches & Advisors
Life coaches, business mentors, career counselors, and wellness advisors provide seamless booking experiences that match their professional brand. Meeting booking features streamline discovery calls and ongoing coaching sessions.

The common thread? Every service business saves hours each week when scheduling runs on autopilot.

No vendor lock-in, no per-booking AI fees — you control the AI provider and your costs.
