Trying the live demos
How the live demo tenants work — what you can click, what's locked, and how to spin up your own. · Updated 15/07/2026
We keep a fully-populated demo tenant for every vertical we support — barbers, pet groomers, nails, spa, massage, tattoo and tanning. They're a good way to see exactly what the app looks like with real services, staff and bookings loaded in.
What you can do
- Browse each vertical's public booking site (real services, prices, staff and opening hours).
- Click Try dashboard to sign into the demo staff account in one click — no signup, no card.
- Walk through the calendar, customer list, services, website editor and every other admin screen.
What's locked
- All demo tenants are read-only. You'll see a banner at the top of the app confirming this.
- Attempts to create or edit anything will show a friendly message reminding you it's a demo.
- Your real account is untouched.
