GastGo enables the professional to focus on what they do best and avoid the hustle of dealing with answering phone calls, marketing, advertisement, payment process and managing their diaries and bookings. Payments for all services booked are processed on the day of the service booked and rendered via GastGo. All funds are transferred directly to the professional’s bank account once a week. GastGo prompts the client to provide feedback of their experience with the professional once they have received a service, and in turn, the professional will be prompted to provide client feedback.
