Restaurants kept juggling three tools: a PDF menu, a booking widget and a spreadsheet. So I built Bookarta — digital menus and 24/7 reservations in one place, manageable from any device.
Now in production with active clients and recurring revenue. Next.js, Supabase, Stripe. Designed, built and shipped end-to-end through my studio WEARECAPA.
Happy to share how I structured the booking flow if anyone's building something similar. https://www.bookarta.eu/

Booking a fitting shouldn’t take more messages than the alteration itself.
Meet Tivora Atelier, a fictional clothing alterations studio in Bucharest. The problem: a solo owner spends too much time asking every customer the same questions and coordinating appointments by hand.
I designed and built a booking experience in @Lovable that takes a customer from “Can I book?” to a confirmed fitting. They share garment details, choose an available time and receive a confirmation email. They can add the fitting to their calendar or use a private link to manage it later.
On the other side, the owner has one view for appointments, garment notes and availability.
This is an exploratory demo, not a real booking service. The video walks through the customer and owner experiences in under a minute.

Pawline: booking built around the van, for mobile pet groomers
Pawline is a booking system for a small mobile pet grooming business: one van, two groomers, three Austin zones.
Most booking tools treat a mobile groomer like a salon. The real problem is logistics: travel fees by zone, visits with several pets that take different amounts of time, and one van that can't be double-booked.
What it does:
🐾 ZIP check with instant zone travel fees
🐾 Live pricing and visit length for up to 4 pets, including add-ons and setup time
🐾 Only shows time slots the van can actually fit, and respects the owner's blocked time
🐾 Private links so customers can reschedule or cancel without an account
🐾 Owner dashboard with a daily van timeline
🐾 Public demo mode with fictional bookings and hidden customer details
Built for real use: owner-only data access, leaked-password protection, and full end-to-end testing on desktop and mobile.

Designing around travel zones instead of a salon schedule is the right call. The demo mode is a nice touch for people testing it.
🤔When applying to jobs, I often see requirements like “advanced Figma skills” or “using best practices, Auto Layout, components, variables, etc.”
Come on, this is the basics.🤷🏻♀️
As a designer with 10+ years of experience building SaaS web applications, I see these things as a foundation, not something that should even need to be asked about.
But since clients often want proof of these skills, I decided to write an article showing exactly how I organize a large SaaS web application in Figma.
I think it can be useful not only for clients, but also for experienced designers and teams.
And I’d be glad to hear about any practices you use that I didn’t mention.🙌
