History

MyTime was founded in 2012 by Ethan Anderson, who previously co-founded Redbeacon, an online home services marketplace. Redbeacon won the grand prize at the TechCrunch50 Conference in 2009[1] and was acquired by The Home Depot in January 2012.[2] Anderson holds an MBA from Harvard Business School and previously worked as a product manager at Google.[3]

MyTime launched as an online appointment booking platform for consumers in 2013.[4] In February 2013, the company announced a $3 million seed funding round.[5]

In April 2015, MyTime raised a $9.25 million Series B round led by Upfront Ventures and Khosla Ventures, bringing total funding to $12.25 million.[6] The round also included Daher Capital, Accelerator Ventures, and shopping mall operator Westfield.[7]

Platform

MyTime is a cloud-based platform that combines appointment scheduling, point-of-sale, customer engagement, and franchise management tools in a single system. The platform is designed primarily for multi-location service businesses, including those operating as franchise networks.

Core features include a scheduling system that supports web and mobile booking, staff calendar management, waitlists, and integration with Google Search, Google Maps, Facebook, and Instagram. The point-of-sale module supports in-store and online payments, inventory management, automated royalty calculation for franchisors, and cross-location redemption of memberships, packages, and gift cards.

For franchise operators, MyTime provides tools for multi-location management including location templates, centralized brand controls, configurable permissions, royalty reporting, and the ability to launch new franchise locations from a standardized configuration. The platform supports white-label branded guest apps, APIs, webhooks, and SAML-based single sign-on for enterprise integrations.
