- Taking payments and deposits
- A marketplace that finds you new customers
Where turnda is stronger

- Walk-ins and light appointments in one order
- A kiosk and lobby TV
The honest answer
If almost everyone books, keep your booking app. If walk-ins crowd your door, turnda runs that line — and can take light bookings too.
