## Turn in-person attention into future bookings

QR code booking is one of the fastest ways to bridge the gap between your physical location and your online schedule. It allows clients to scan a code and book their next appointment immediately, right from their own phone. It's the perfect tool for capturing interest when your team is busy or when a client is already in your shop.

FindSlot makes it easy to use QR codes across your business - from storefront windows to reception desks - giving you a 24/7 way to take bookings without needing anyone to answer a phone.

### Why use QR codes for scheduling?

- **Frictionless booking:** Clients don't have to search for your website or type in a URL. They just scan, choose a service, and book.
- **Capture walk-in interest:** If your team is busy with other clients, a QR code at the door or reception lets walk-ins book a future slot without waiting to talk to someone.
- **Encourage rebooking:** Place QR codes at styling stations or in treatment rooms so clients can book their next visit before they even leave.
- **Lower administrative load:** Every booking made via QR code is one less manual entry for your staff, keeping your team focused on the work.

### Where to place your booking QR codes

- **Storefront windows:** Let people book even when you're closed or if they're just walking by.
- **Reception & check-out desks:** The perfect place to remind clients to book their next visit.
- **Stylist stations & treatment rooms:** Makes rebooking a natural part of the service experience.
- **Business cards & flyers:** Turn your marketing materials into direct booking tools.
- **Street-facing signage:** Capture the attention of passersby and convert it into scheduled appointments.

### How it works with your FindSlot booking page

Your QR code links directly to your mobile-friendly [booking page](https://findslot.ai/features/booking-page), giving clients a direct path from scanning to available appointment times.

The QR code opens the business's existing mobile-friendly booking page, with nothing extra to install. The same services, staff assignments, and availability rules determine what a client can book whether they arrive from a QR code, website, social profile, or direct link.

### Setup checklist

- Test the code from both iPhone and Android cameras.
- Print a short instruction beside it, such as "Scan to book your next appointment."
- Point the code to a stable booking URL.
- Replace damaged or outdated printed materials when the destination changes.
