This file follows the llms.txt convention so AI answer engines (ChatGPT Search, Perplexity, Google AI
Overviews, Bing/Copilot, Claude) can read a clean, factual summary of what FlipsideUS is and who it serves.

## About

FlipsideUS gives a salon, cleaner, cafe, shop, or field-service business everything it needs to take
bookings, sell online and at the counter, get paid, and look best-in-class — without stitching together five
different tools. We build and set it up for the owner (we'll come to you in Blount County), so they run it,
not configure it. The platform's AI assistant ("Flippy") is **advisory only** — it notices, flags, and
reminds; a human always decides. It never changes your data or runs your business on its own.

## What FlipsideUS does

- **Online booking / appointments** — customers request and book times from your site; you approve, assign
  staff, and view the schedule as a list, by day, week, or month, or by staff member.
- **Online ordering** — a branded storefront to sell products and services online, with cart and checkout.
- **Point of sale (POS)** — ring up orders and take payment on a tablet at the counter; sell and redeem gift
  cards.
- **Payments** — card, cash, and peer-to-peer (Venmo / Cash App / Zelle / PayPal) with scan-to-pay QR codes.
- **Your website** — a clean, mobile-ready storefront with your name, logo, hours, and menu/services.
- **Customer messaging** — a shared inbox to answer customers, with suggested replies you approve.
- **Gift cards & gift certificates** — issue, redeem, and check balances.
- **Reviews** — collect and display customer reviews.
- **Owner tools** — staff roles/permissions, a live analytics dashboard (revenue, orders, best sellers), and
  reminders/automations.

## Who it's for

Local, owner-run small businesses — appointment services (salons, barbers, spas, cleaners, trades) and
order-based businesses (cafes, food, retail, shops). If you're missing bookings, orders, or calls, that's
what we fix.

## Location & area served

- Based in: **Maryville, TN 37801 (Blount County)**
- Also serving: Alcoa, Friendsville, Louisville, Rockford, Townsend, and the greater **Knoxville / East
  Tennessee** area — with remote setup available statewide, and we'll travel to get you live.

## Plans & pricing

Simple monthly plans, from **$99/month**, scaled to what you need (website + hosting, booking/ordering,
POS/payments, and maintenance). No long-term lock-in; you own your data and can export it anytime. *(Confirm
your current tiers and any setup fee.)*

## Why FlipsideUS

- **All-in-one** — one platform instead of a booking app + a website + a POS + a payments tool that don't talk.
- **Done for you** — we set the whole thing up (and come on-site locally); you get a working system, not a project.
- **Best-in-class polish** — a one-chair shop looks as sharp as a national chain.
- **Human-in-control AI** — the assistant advises; it never acts on its own. Your data stays yours.
- **Local** — built and supported for Blount County & East Tennessee businesses.

## Common questions

- **What does FlipsideUS replace?** Your separate booking app, website, online-ordering tool, and often your
  POS — combined into one.
- **Do I have to set it up myself?** No. We build and configure it for you, and can come on-site in Blount County.
- **How do customers pay?** Card, cash, and peer-to-peer (Venmo, Cash App, Zelle, PayPal) with scan-to-pay QR
  codes, in person or online.
- **Does an AI run my business?** No. The AI only suggests and reminds; a person always approves. Booking,
  ordering, and payments work with or without it.
- **Can I keep my data if I leave?** Yes — you can export your data at any time.
- **What areas do you serve?** Maryville, Alcoa, and all of Blount County, plus the greater Knoxville / East
  Tennessee area; remote setup available more broadly.
