MyTime is a software company headquartered in San Francisco that provides an all-in-one scheduling, marketing, and point of sale solution for local service businesses like salons, massage therapists, and pet groomers. The cloud-based MyTime Scheduler combines online booking, automated email and SMS marketing, secure chat, reputation management, and point of sale into a single solution accessible on the web or through dedicated iOS and Android mobile apps.

MyTime also runs MyTime.com, an online appointment booking website which launched to consumers in 2013.[1] MyTime allows consumers to view local businesses' availability, and then book and purchase their services online. The types of services offered on MyTime.com include health and beauty, medical and dental, sports and fitness, among others.[2] At launch, MyTime had more than 500,000 appointments available for booking.[3]

Background

MyTime was founded by CEO Ethan Anderson. Prior to starting MyTime, Anderson co-founded Redbeacon and served as their CEO.[4] In 2010, Anderson was named on Business Insider's Silicon Valley 100 list.[5]

Products

MyTime's software is designed to help appointment-based businesses manage and grow their business. The software is cloud-based, allowing business owners and their staff to access their accounts through the web or via MyTime's iOS and Android mobile apps. Businesses can choose among several different product bundles depending on their needs.

Features include:

For consumers, MyTime is a searchable marketplace where users can find and book appointments.[6] Users can search by type of service, location, and preferred appointment date and time. MyTime displays available time slots from each business that has a profile on MyTime, and the user books and pays for the appointment online.
