I built an app last year for a client that included doing booking for dentist offices. One of the big things in getting people to use a new booking tool for their business is to allow them to block out times and business hours, before allowing others to just start creating appointments all willy-nilly.

Also, it's important to allow the business owner to set a minimum clearance for new appointments. E.g. if a dentist decides that they need at least an hour-block for a half-hour appointment (prep and cleanup time, etc), then the calendar shouldn't allow a patient to schedule an appointment in a half-hour opening.

But overall, I'm also unclear on how this alternative is better than Google Calendar? Is there a private-label version that could be integrated easily into my own site? Though, I guess Google Calendar now kinda has that as well.
