BONBON is an all-in-one operations platform for service businesses — from car wash and detailing to home services, beauty, fleet, and field work. Whether you run one shop or a multi-location fleet, BONBON gives you a single place to handle:

  • Bookings & scheduling (online + in-person walk-ins)
  • Live dispatch + map with traffic, drive-time rings, and smart routing
  • Customer relationships (history, vehicles/pets/properties, photos)
  • Staff & teams (roles, schedules, earnings, real-time tracking)
  • Invoices & payments (Stripe online, walk-in cash/card, BYO Stripe)
  • AI that helps over SMS and web chat, auto-assigns staff, and scans assets

Who uses BONBON

  • Owners & co-owners — full setup, billing, AI, analytics
  • Managers — schedule, dispatch, customer & team operations

  3. Invite your team
