Welcome to Zimun: Appointment Scheduling & Booking Service, your smart, simple appointment and resource manager for small businesses. This guide gets you from zero to fully scheduled quickly.
You will create an organisation, add services, invite your team, and publish a booking page your customers can use immediately. No complicated setup and no technical steps required.
1. About Zimun: Appointment Scheduling & Booking Service
Zimun keeps appointments, staff, and resources in sync. Salons, studios, clinics, and consultants rely on the system to avoid double bookings and keep teams aligned.
The system checks availability across people and resources every time a slot is shown, so your calendar stays accurate automatically.
2. Sign in with Google
Click "Continue with Google" to access Zimun. You never need to remember a new password or create extra accounts.
If you are the owner, your account becomes the organisation owner automatically. Team members who join later will have member access.
3. Create your organisation
After logging in, Zimun creates a starter organisation, default service, and team member for you. Rename it to match your business (for example “Anna’s Hair Studio”). You’ll automatically become the owner.
Add a short description and your company address for the business profile. Then set up your first location, because appointments, directions, and local holiday rules follow the location where the booking happens.
4. Set up your locations
Review your first location in Settings → Locations, then add more only if bookings happen in another branch, room set, or timezone.
Treat the organization profile as company identity and locations as the real places where appointments happen. Review Set Up Locations before you publish multi-location booking.
5. Add your services
Create each bookable service: haircut, massage, lesson, consultation. Add a description, optional image, and assign resources if needed.
Assign each service to the location or locations where you actually offer it. In multi-location setups, customers may need to pick a location before that service appears.
Clear service names help customers pick the right slot quickly and reduce back‑and‑forth questions.
6. Add your team members
Invite your staff and define their working hours. Each person sees their own schedule, with booked and available slots based on their services and hours.
Team members belong to one location, so assign them where they actually work. A slot is only shown when the selected location has matching staff coverage.
Members can manage their own availability, while owners can adjust everything across the organisation.
7. Add your resources
Resources are rooms, chairs, or equipment shared across services. Assign them to services so Zimun avoids clashes automatically.
Resources also belong to one location. The selected location must have every required resource free before a slot can appear.
If a resource is required, the system will not show the slot unless that resource is free.
8. Manage your calendar
Use the dashboard calendar to see bookings, availability, and changes in real time across devices.
You can reschedule or cancel directly from the schedule view, and customers receive updated emails and calendar invites automatically.
9. Summary & next steps
You’re ready! Invite your team, share the booking link, and try the first real appointment. Zimun handles the rest.
