Clients pick a time. You get a shoot.
A clean booking page, always up to date with your real availability. Fotello offers both rigid and flexible booking modes so you never have to play calendar Tetris again.
Exact time
Clients choose a specific slot from your live availability. Best for shoots with fixed durations where you know exactly how long you'll be on site.
Time of day
Clients choose a flexible window: Morning, Afternoon, or Evening. You confirm the exact time later once you've figured out your most efficient driving route.
Built around how you actually work.
Four guardrails that apply to every booking. Set them once and never worry about last-minute surprises.
Travel & Prep
Buffer time
Padding between appointments for travel, gear prep, and parking. After a 10:00 AM shoot, the next slot opens at 11:30 AM — not 11:00 AM.
Lead Time
Minimum notice
Minimum lead time before a customer can book. "4 hours" means no same-morning bookings unless you already have availability.
Slot Frequency
Time-slot interval
Controls how far apart booking slots appear. With a 15-min interval on a 60-min service: slots at 9:00, 9:15, 9:30, etc.
Future Limit
Maximum notice
How far ahead customers can see and book slots. "30 days" means the booking calendar never shows beyond next month.
Padding between appointments for travel, gear prep, and parking. After a 10:00 AM shoot, the next slot opens at 11:30 AM — not 11:00 AM.
Travel & Prep
Fotello automates your travel.
Stop calculating drive times and managing spreadsheets. Fotello handles the complex logistics of scheduling, routing, and availability automatically.
Your schedule, your rules.
Set your business hours and let Fotello handle the rest. Team members can override with their personal schedule, ensuring you only get booked when you're actually available.
Define your boundaries.
Only accept bookings where you want to work. Add polygons to restrict service areas, and Fotello will automatically hide slots for properties outside your zone.
Never double-back.
Automated travel time calculation between shoots ensures you're never late. Fotello dynamically blocks out drive time based on real-world routing.
