Who we are

Built right here, for the businesses we see every day

Havana was started in Central Texas by a local business owner who knows exactly what an empty spot on the calendar costs. We have watched great businesses lose money to last-minute cancellations, then spend hours and dollars on ads that never book anyone.

So we built a simpler way. When you have an opening, the people nearby who need it can find it and book it right away.

Central Texas is just the beginning. Havana is growing nationwide, and our founding partners here are the ones who get in first.

Live and ready now

Havana is up and running across Austin and Central Texas, ready for your first opening today.

Real people you can reach

You work with us directly. Questions get answered by a person, not a ticket system.

Built with your feedback

Founding partners help shape what we build next. Tell us what you need and we act on it.

The problem

Where appointment businesses lose money

01 Openings nobody hears about

A client cancels a few days out, or worse, a few hours before. You post a story, text a few regulars and wait. There is no fast way to tell people nearby you are open right now.

02 Locals don't know you exist

Plenty of people nearby have never heard of your business. They would book in a heartbeat if they knew you had an opening.

03 Customers give up searching

Someone needs an appointment today. They call around, hit full calendars and give up, while your open slot sits a few miles away.

04 Marketing drain

Ads, SEO and social posts eat money and hours, and they buy clicks and views, not booked appointments.

Have an opening? You are at the top.

On Havana, businesses get discovered by real-time availability. No bidding, no algorithm games, no ad budget.

How it works

From cancellation to booked, in minutes

  1. Step 1

    Post the slot

    A cancellation hits. Put the open time on the board in seconds.

  2. Step 2

    Locals search

    People nearby look for openings today, tomorrow or in 2 days. Yours shows up.

  3. Step 3

    They claim it

    A ready-to-book customer grabs the slot. Your empty hour becomes revenue.

The client side

What your clients see

Here is how a local finds and books your opening, from search to booked.
