Getting Started

Setting up FullDay begins with a short registration process that prepares your organization for use.

The registration consists of three steps:

1. Create your account — Create your personal account using your name, email address, and password.

2. Create your organization — Create your first organization by providing its name. This organization becomes the workspace where you’ll manage your locations, services, specialists, bookings, and clients.

3. Choose a subscription plan — Select the plan that best fits your business. If you arrived from the pricing page with a plan already selected, registration keeps that choice and still lets you pick another plan.

Once registration is complete, Full Day opens guided onboarding. That wizard walks you through business details, the first location, hours, staff, a service, and booking settings so the organization can accept its first booking. You can skip the wizard and resume later from the dashboard Continue setup card.

What is FullDay?

FullDay is a modern online booking platform designed to help businesses manage appointments, staff, locations, and customer communication from a single platform.

How FullDay is structured

FullDay is split into two main parts that work together:

Public Booking Portal

This is the page your clients see. They can explore your services, check available times, and complete a booking on their own — without needing to call or message you. The portal also supports client self-service, so customers can reschedule or cancel appointments when needed.

Admin Dashboard

This is your control center. From the dashboard, you and your team can configure your organization, manage bookings and clients, set up services and specialists, and handle the operational side of your business — all in one secure environment with role-based access.

The home page Overview card shows Booking Rate, Client Retention, and Avg Revenue/Day for the last 7 days. Those values come from your bookings. Until there is activity in that window, Overview shows no data instead of a number.

Your typical workflow

Once you’ve completed registration, getting your business ready follows a simple path:

1. Complete guided onboarding — Enter business details, add the first location and hours, add staff, create a service, and choose a booking mode. Finish setup creates the first eight weeks of shifts. See Guided Onboarding.

2. Review locations, services, and specialists — Add more locations, services, or specialists from the dashboard when you need them. This is what powers the availability your clients see when booking.

3. Share your booking page — Direct clients to your public booking portal. They can browse services, pick a time, and confirm their appointment on their own.

4. Receive bookings — As clients book, a confirmation email is sent automatically. You can also turn on SMS and email appointment reminders in Settings. You can create bookings from the dashboard for walk-ins or phone requests.

5. Manage bookings from the dashboard — View and manage all your bookings from the admin dashboard in both table and calendar views.

6. Run the daily opening flow: Enable Opening Flow in Settings → Daily operations, configure your salon condition checklist and any daily meters, and review the opening reports submitted by specialists.

7. Run the daily closing flow: Enable Closing Flow in Settings → Daily operations, configure your closing checklist, and review closing reports submitted near the end of each shift.
