MyTime is a software company headquartered in San Francisco that provides an all-in-one scheduling, marketing, and point of sale solution for local service businesses like salons, massage therapists, and pet groomers. The cloud-based MyTime Scheduler combines online booking, automated email and SMS marketing, secure chat, reputation management, and point of sale into a single solution accessible on the web or through dedicated iOS and Android mobile apps.
MyTime also runs an online appointment booking website which launched to consumers in 2013.[1] MyTime allows consumers to view local businesses' availability, and then book and purchase their services online. The types of services offered on MyTime.com include health and beauty, medical and dental, sports and fitness, among others.[2] At launch, MyTime had more than 500,000 appointments available for booking.[3]

MyTime displays available time slots from each business that has a profile on MyTime, and the user books and pays for the appointment online.
