Our mission
You're busy doing the work: cutting hair, fixing furnaces, plating dinner. We make sure every caller still hears a warm, helpful voice, gets an answer, and gets booked, so you can stay focused on the people in front of you.
Why it matters
When you're on a job or with a client, the phone keeps ringing. Callers who reach voicemail often just call the next business on the list.
During your busiest hours, the front desk can only take one call at a time. Everyone else hears ringing or hold music, and many hang up.
Plenty of people call at night and on weekends. If nobody picks up, that booking goes to whoever answers first.

Meet your front-desk assistant
Day, night, weekends and holidays. She also picks up overflow calls when your staff is busy with customers.
Answers questions about your hours, services, prices and policies, the way your best front-desk person would.
Books straight into your calendar. If you use booking software like Fresha or Vagaro, she takes the request and emails your front desk to confirm it.
When a caller needs a person, she transfers the call to you or a staff member, or takes a detailed message.
After each call you get an email with a short summary and the caller's name and number.
She picks up every call, even when you're busy, closed, or already on another line.
A day with Kindlyne
A hypothetical day at a busy local shop.
A caller asks if you take walk-ins today. She answers from your hours and policies, and the caller says they'll stop by.
Three calls come in at once. You're with a customer, so she picks up the overflow, books one appointment and takes two messages.
She transfers the call to you, just like you set it up.
Someone needs help tomorrow morning. She books the first open slot and flags it as urgent in your email.
A short summary of every call and the caller's name and number. Nothing slips through.

FAQ
Your assistant sounds natural and friendly, and she is set up to be honest if a caller asks. Most callers simply care that they got a real answer and a booked appointment instead of voicemail.
No. Most businesses keep their existing number and forward calls (all calls, after-hours calls, or missed calls) to their assistant. We'll walk you through the options during setup.
Yes. We connect her to your calendar so she can book appointments directly. If you use booking software like Fresha or Vagaro, she takes the appointment request and emails your front desk right away so you can confirm it.
She can transfer the call to you or a staff member, or take a detailed message and email it to you, flagging urgent calls so you can call back fast. It's all set up to match how you work.
A one-time $200 setup, then a flat $150 a month. No add-ons. Payment is by Zelle.
It's a flat $150 monthly fee after the one-time $200 setup. All terms are spelled out in our client service agreement, which we go over with you before you sign up.
