Keep Track of Multiple Schedules, Guarantee your Payment and Reduce your no-shows using Appointment Journal Online Appointment Manager

Melissa can't find a green pen. She just put a bunch of them in the cup yesterday but now they are all gone. "I knew this new color-coding thing was stupid anyway," she thinks as she searches through drawers and under papers. Her business partner, Ray, thought it would be a better way to keep track of all the stylists' schedules if they were all assigned a color so that when customers requested Amy, for example, the appointment would be written in green. Allie is orange, Samantha is pink and so on; but it has just turned into another ineffective way to keep track of nine peoples' schedules... especially when the pens keep going missing.

"That's it," Melissa decides as the phone begins to ring, "That's gonna be another person trying to make an appointment and I can't find the green, grey or pink pens and I will just write it down on a sticky note in plain, normal black ink and let Ray deal with it later." Melissa keeps this system going all morning so when Ray comes in at noon he has a pile of sticky notes to sort through. He knows that unless he does something fast he will have a bunch of confused stylists and angry clients. He feels like he has tried all of his ideas and they haven't worked. What is there to do?
