Your day is one clean list — tap any stop to navigate, mark it complete, or turn it into an invoice on the spot.

See your schedule the way you like it

Flip between Day, 3-Day, Week, and Month views — or a simple list. DoorstepHQ remembers your favorite view, so your calendar always opens the way you left it. Pending booking requests, confirmed jobs, and completed visits are color-coded so you can read your week in one glance.

Have crews? Tag each booking with a team and filter the schedule to just the crew you're running today.

Jobs Recurring Requests

Do appointment reminders really stop no-shows?

Yes — most no-shows are just forgetting, and two well-timed reminders fix forgetting. DoorstepHQ texts and emails your customer the day before, then texts again two hours before you arrive. You never send anything by hand.

You stay in control: turn reminders off for a single booking, a whole recurring schedule, or one particular customer who'd rather not get texts — without touching anyone else's.

Works with the calendar you already use

Subscribe to your DoorstepHQ schedule from Google Calendar, Apple Calendar, or Outlook and every job shows up there automatically. Your customers get an "Add to calendar" button on their booking confirmation, so the visit lands on their calendar too.

And customers don't have to call to get on your schedule: your free booking page and QR code let them request a time from their phone, and the request shows up on your calendar as pending until you approve it.

Recurring jobs: schedule it once, never again

Weekly mowing, biweekly cleans, quarterly treatments, yearly inspections — set the pattern once and every future visit lands on your calendar automatically. Multi-day patterns work too: Monday, Wednesday, and Friday at the same time is one schedule, not three.

Pair it with auto-invoicing and each visit bills itself when the job is done — your steadiest customers become genuinely zero-touch: scheduled, reminded, worked, invoiced, paid.

Scheduling questions, answered

Is DoorstepHQ's scheduling really free?

Yes — unlimited bookings, unlimited customers, no credit card to sign up, and no trial that runs out. Scheduling is part of the free core platform.

Can customers book me online?

Yes. Every account comes with a free booking page and QR code. Customers pick a service and request a time from their phone, and the request lands on your schedule as pending until you approve it.

Does it send appointment reminders automatically?

Yes. Customers get a reminder the day before (text and email) and another two hours before the visit (text). It runs on autopilot, and you can turn reminders off for any single customer or booking.

Can I set up recurring jobs?

Yes — weekly, biweekly, monthly, all the way to yearly, including multi-day patterns like Monday/Wednesday/Friday. Every future visit is placed on your calendar automatically, and you can have each visit invoice itself when the job is done.

Does it sync with Google Calendar or Apple Calendar?

Yes. You can subscribe to a live feed of your DoorstepHQ schedule from Google Calendar, Apple Calendar, or Outlook, and your customers get an "Add to calendar" button on their booking confirmations.

What happens if I accidentally double-book?

DoorstepHQ warns you before you save a booking that overlaps another job, and shows you which customer it conflicts with. You stay in control — you can adjust the time or schedule it anyway.

Your schedule, handled.

Booking, reminders, recurring visits, and your whole week in your pocket — free.
