1. Search what you actually want. By service or by name, narrowed to your suburb. Every result carries its price and distance up front, so the comparison happens before you commit to anything rather than at the counter.

2. Pick a time that is genuinely free. Times come from that business’s live calendar, and from the calendar of the person you chose. Where a deposit or a cancellation window applies, you see the amount and the terms before you pay.

3. Turn up. We will remind you. A confirmation immediately, then a reminder by SMS and email before the day. Afterwards you can leave a review, and only then, because a review has to hang off a booking that really happened.

What is Bookka?

Bookka is an Australian booking platform with two sides. For customers it is a marketplace: find local service businesses by service and suburb, with prices and live availability on the page instead of behind a phone call, and book in a few taps at any hour.

For businesses it is the software underneath: online bookings, deposits and payments, team and multi-location scheduling, SMS and email reminders, a loyalty programme, gift cards, an online shop and a point of sale, plus an AI assistant that answers questions about the business and handles the admin.

It is built and operated by Bookka Pty Ltd in Adelaide, South Australia. Businesses connect their own Stripe account and are paid out directly. Why it exists, or see it from a business’s side.
