Square Acquires Online Scheduling Startup BookFresh

Payments company Square announced on Wednesday it had acquired BookFresh, a startup focused on scheduling customer appointments for merchants.

Described as an “OpenTable for everything but restaurants,” BookFresh is a self-serve platform for small businesses that need online scheduling services but don’t want to handle the hassle themselves.

Square plans to keep the products operating separately for the time being, according to a blog post from BookFresh, and the startup’s existing customers can continue to use the products as they normally do.

The news comes as Square begins to look at diversifying itself and the types of services it offers. The company is reportedly testing a new application that would let Square customers order and pick up food from restaurants; last year, Square also started offering a custom-built hardware stand for its iPad point-of-sale customers, though it’s unclear how well sales are going for the product.

Investors in BookFresh include Ron Conway, SV Angel, Baseline Ventures and NBCUniversal (which, disclosure, is an investor in the company that owns this site).

Terms of the acquisition were not disclosed.

Will you support Vox’s explanatory journalism?

Most news outlets make their money through advertising or subscriptions. But when it comes to what we’re trying to do at Vox, there are a couple reasons that we can't rely only on ads and subscriptions to keep the lights on.

First, advertising dollars go up and down with the economy. We often only know a few months out what our advertising revenue will be, which makes it hard to plan ahead.

Second, we’re not in the subscriptions business. Vox is here to help everyone understand the complex issues shaping the world — not just the people who can afford to pay for a subscription. We believe that’s an important part of building a more equal society. We can’t do that if we have a paywall.

That’s why we also turn to you, our readers, to help us keep Vox free. If you also believe that everyone deserves access to trusted high-quality information, will you make a gift to Vox today?
