WhatsApp-first booking for Nigerian hospitality

Your clients already message you.Now they can book.

Ghedu turns your WhatsApp into a full booking system. Clients select a service, pick a time, and pay — all without leaving the app they already use every day.

You're on the list.

No spam. We'll message you when we're ready to onboard your business.

What is Ghedu

A booking system that lives
where your clients already are

Most spas and salons in Nigeria manage bookings through Instagram DMs and WhatsApp messages. Ghedu turns that existing behaviour into a structured system — without asking anyone to change where they communicate.

01
Clients book inside WhatsApp
No website to visit, no app to download, no form to fill. A guided flow inside WhatsApp — the app your clients already have and already use.
02
Only valid slots are shown
Clients never see an unavailable time. The system knows your schedule and only offers what can actually be booked. No double bookings, ever.
03
Payment is part of the flow
A payment link is sent automatically after a slot is selected. When it clears, the booking is confirmed and the money goes straight to your bank account.
04
Aftercare and follow-ups are automatic
A care note goes out after each appointment. A follow-up message checks in a week later. Clients feel remembered — without you having to remember.
05
A dashboard that makes sense
See today's bookings, manage your services, update your hours, and track clients — all from one simple screen built for operators, not developers.
06
Built for how Nigerians book
Built around the reality that your clients are already on WhatsApp, already messaging you, and already expect fast responses. Ghedu makes that instant and organised.

From first message to confirmed booking in under a minute

The entire experience lives inside WhatsApp. Your client never opens a browser.

Questions

Things operators usually ask

Straightforward answers to the questions that come up most.

No. Everything happens inside WhatsApp — which your clients already have on their phone. They tap your booking link, a conversation opens, and the entire booking takes place right there. No website to visit, no new accounts to create, no downloads.
No. Ghedu runs on its own WhatsApp number — not yours. Your clients book through Ghedu's WhatsApp. Your personal number stays completely private. You still receive booking confirmations and notifications directly to your phone so you always know what is happening in your business.
Yes. When a client selects a service and time, a payment link is sent to them automatically inside WhatsApp. Once they pay, the booking is confirmed and the money is sent directly to your bank account. You provide your account details once during setup. Ghedu never holds your money.
Only one booking can go through. The moment a client selects a time, Ghedu locks that slot immediately. If someone else tries to take it at the same time, they see that it is no longer available and are shown the next open slot. You will never have a double booking.
Not yet. We are onboarding our first group of operators before the public launch. If you join the waitlist, you will be among the first to get access — and we will reach out to you directly on WhatsApp when we are ready for you.
