About InstantBook
We built the booking platform that doesn't punish success.
Canadian solo operators — mobile groomers, personal trainers, estheticians, detailers — are excellent at their craft. The software they use to take bookings should match that standard. Instead, most booking platforms charge 2–5% on every single appointment, forever.
At $8,000/month in bookings, a 3% platform fee costs $240/month — nearly $3,000 a year — for software that takes 10 minutes to replace. InstantBook charges $19/month flat. That's it.

CityCentral Technologies builds software for the operators who keep cities running — the tradespeople, service professionals, and one-person businesses that make up the backbone of local economies. InstantBook is our flagship product, built specifically for the Canadian market.
Why flat pricing
Per-booking fees sound small — 2%, 3%, 5% — but they compound. A mobile service operator doing $8,000/month in bookings pays $240–$400/month in platform fees. Every month. That's $3,000–$5,000 a year for software that takes 10 minutes to replace.
InstantBook charges a flat monthly fee (free to start, paid plans from $19/mo) and takes nothing from bookings. Stripe's card processing fees (2.9% + $0.30) still apply — those go to Stripe directly, not to us — but that's the same as any payment processor, regardless of what platform you use.
On a busy month, the difference is hundreds of dollars in your pocket. On a slow month, you still only pay the flat rate.
What we believe
Operators first
Every decision we make is filtered through one question: does this make life easier for the solo operator?
Flat and honest
No hidden fees, no tiered surprises, no percentage cuts. The price is the price.
Built in Canada
Toronto-based, CAD-native, GST-aware. Not a US product adapted for Canada — built here from the ground up.
Small is powerful
A business of one can operate at a level that would have required a full team a decade ago. We build for that reality.
