Our story

Built by service business owners, for service business owners.

Co-founders · Verona, NJ

BookCrew was started by Gavin Schlegel and Ben Garnet in Verona, New Jersey. We have spent years running small service businesses ourselves — taking calls in the truck, juggling pen-and-paper schedules, and chasing customers down for confirmations. We knew there had to be a better way.

Most scheduling software is either built for huge salons and franchises, or it is a generic calendar bolted onto a contact form. Neither one fits how a one or two-person crew actually works. We built BookCrew to feel like the tool we always wished existed — fast to set up, friendly to your customers, and tough enough to run the whole back office.

We are based in Verona, NJ and we answer the phone ourselves. If you ever want to talk through whether BookCrew is right for your shop, we are happy to.
