A booking page that looks like yours, not ours

Every business gets a hosted page at rostermates.com/book/your-name. Customers pick a service, a day and a time, leave their details and get a confirmation with a calendar invite. You choose the colours, corners and font, so it fits your brand instead of advertising ours.

Services with real lengths — a 15-minute consult and a two-hour colour offer different times, so nothing overlaps.
Only real gaps are offered — opening hours, notice, buffers and existing bookings all shape the times shown.
Themes and custom colours — ten ready-made looks or your own palette, with a live preview while you edit.
Live in about ten minutes

No card, no installer, no trial clock. Three steps and you're taking bookings.

Sign up free

Enter your business name and email. That's the whole form. Your page gets an address like rostermates.com/book/your-business straight away.

Add services and hours

Name each thing people can book, how long it takes and what it costs. Tick the days you're open. Pick a theme so it matches your brand. The preview updates as you go.

Share the link or paste the widget

Put the link in your website menu, Google Business Profile or Instagram bio. Or paste one short snippet into your site and the booking calendar appears right there.

Everything a booking system should do, for free

The features other booking tools charge for are all in the free plan.

Services and add-ons

Each service has its own length, a price to show and a description. Add-ons like “toner, +20 min” are ticked after the main service and the time and price add up.

Book by staff member

Let customers choose who they see, or “no preference”. Each person is their own diary, so two customers can book the same time with different people.

Classes with capacity

Set how many places share one time. A yoga class with twelve spots fills seat by seat and closes itself when it's full.

Opening hours and booking rules

Set the days and hours you take bookings, how much notice you need, how far ahead people can book, and a gap between bookings for clean-up or travel.

Reminders, reschedules, cancellations

Customers get a confirmation with a calendar invite, a reminder before the appointment, and a link to move or cancel themselves. You get an email for every change.

In person, video or phone

Each service says how it happens. Video services carry your own link or a unique Google Meet link per booking; phone services make the number required and tell the customer you'll call.

Put the booking form on your own site

Paste this once, on a “Book now” page. The booking calendar draws itself right there, using your theme, and stays up to date as you change services, hours or colours. No plugin, no iframe, nothing to update.

If a visitor's browser blocks scripts they still get a working “Book with us” link, so nobody hits a dead end. Where to paste it on each website builder →

What free means here

Not a trial, not a teaser. The features below are the free plan.

No card, no trial clock and no booking cap on the free plan
Never a “pay to unlock reminders” moment
One small “Bookings by RosterMate” credit line is the only trade
Built and supported in New Zealand, in NZ time
Double-booking protection even when two people race for the last slot
Upgrade later and bookings land on your staff roster automatically
Why is it free?

Because we think you'll like working with us. The booking page is how we introduce ourselves.

RosterMates is a rostering, timesheet and payroll system built in New Zealand. Most businesses that need a booking page also run a team, and most of them are paying more than they should for rostering or payroll software they only half use. So we give the booking page away, with nothing held back, and make a simple bet: once you're using it and you've dealt with us, you'll want to take the time to move your rostering and payroll across too.

Support you'll actually get

Founder-led, NZ-based, in NZ time. Free setup, training and onboarding, an AI help assistant inside the app that hands you to a real person when it can't answer, and phone call-backs when you'd rather talk. Customer requests regularly become features.

How support works →

A price that stays sensible

$8 per employee per month for everything: rosters, timesheets, leave, messaging, events, forms and payroll exports. No per-module add-ons, no setup fee, no minimum seats. Compare it line by line with the rostering and payroll systems you already know.

So much more included

Drag-and-drop rosters and auto-rostering, kiosk and geofenced clock-in, timesheets that approve in one click, leave with NZ and AU rules built in, an employee app, and payroll that files with IRD directly. Bookings you take today drop straight onto tomorrow's roster.

There's no catch in the free plan and no clock running on it. If you never need the rest, keep the booking page forever. If you do, moving over is a job we help you with, not one you do alone.

Free means free

The booking page is the free product, not a teaser. Pay only if you want rosters, timesheets and payroll too.

Free booking page FAQs

Straight answers about what's included and how it works.

Yes. No card and no trial clock. The free plan includes one public booking page, unlimited bookings and unlimited staff, and carries a small “Bookings by RosterMate” credit line. Removing that line is part of the paid plan.
Any service you set up: a 45-minute haircut, a 15-minute phone consultation, a class with twelve places, a two-hour site visit. Each has its own length, price to show and add-ons. You set opening hours, how far ahead people can book, how much notice you need, and a gap between bookings.
Yes. Tick the people who can be booked and visitors choose who they want, or “no preference”, which picks the free person with the lightest day. Each person is booked separately, so two customers can have the same time with different people. Staff on leave aren't offered that day.
Two ways. Link to your hosted page from your website menu, Google Business Profile or Instagram bio. Or paste one short snippet into any page and the booking calendar appears right there. It works on WordPress, Squarespace, Wix, Shopify and Webflow, with no plugin and no iframe.
Yes. Every booking gets a confirmation email with a calendar invite, a reminder before the appointment, and a link to move or cancel the booking. You're emailed every new booking, change and cancellation, and can send them to up to five addresses.
Yes. Each service is in person, a video call or a phone call. For video, paste your own Zoom, Teams or Meet link, or connect your Google account and every booking gets its own unique Meet link. Phone bookings make the customer's number required and tell them you'll call.
Yes. Choose one of ten ready-made themes or set your own background, card, text, border and accent colours, plus corner rounding and font. The paste-in widget on your website picks up the same theme automatically, so you never re-paste it.
RosterMates is a New Zealand rostering, timesheet and payroll system. We give the booking page away with nothing held back because we believe our support and our pricing beat the commonly known rostering and payroll systems, with far more included. Once you're using the booking page and have dealt with us, we think you'll want to take the time to move your rostering and payroll across too. There's no catch and no clock on the free plan.
Upgrade whenever you like at $8 per employee per month. Confirmed bookings then appear on your staff roster automatically, alongside timesheets, leave, messaging and payroll exports. You see the exact first invoice before anything is charged, and you can drop back to free at any time.
