A 24/7 front desk for Bathurst businesses — never miss a call.

If you run a local business in Bathurst, your phone is your storefront — and on Canada's Acadian Chaleur coast, the caller on the other end might speak English, French, or switch between the two mid-sentence. Adventure Movement Studio gives Bathurst-area businesses a bilingual 24/7 front desk that answers every call, books the appointment, and follows up automatically. One vendor, the whole stack, set up for you and running remotely.

Who we help in Bathurst

We work with the local service businesses that keep the Chaleur region moving: salons and barbershops, auto shops, dental and med-spa clinics, trades like plumbing and HVAC, restaurants, law and accounting offices, and home-service crews. Bathurst sits at the centre of a Chaleur region of roughly 45,000 people — including Beresford, Nigadoo, Petit-Rocher, Pointe-Verte and Belledune — and we serve businesses across all of it, plus the nearby Acadian Peninsula.

Everything is remote and done for you. There is no local office to visit and nothing for you to wire up — we build it, connect it to your existing number and calendar, and hand you a system that runs on its own.

Never miss a call (24/7 front desk)

The hardest part of running a small business is that you can't answer the phone while you're cutting hair, under a hood, or with a patient. Calls also land after closing, during the lunch rush, and on weekends. Our 24/7 front desk — an AI receptionist and virtual answering service in one — picks up every call, answers common questions, and books straight into your calendar. When a call still slips through, missed-call text-back fires an instant text so the caller doesn't simply dial the next shop. The result is simple: every call gets a response, day or night. For the full math on what an unanswered call really costs, see our guide on the cost of missed calls.

Bilingual EN/FR — a real Bathurst advantage

New Brunswick is Canada's only officially bilingual province, and Bathurst is one of its most bilingual cities. English and French are nearly even as first languages locally, and a large majority of residents can hold a conversation in both. A front desk that greets and serves each caller in their own language — without you having to staff for it — isn't a nice-to-have here; it's how you win the call. Our system handles English and French callers, and reminders, texts and review requests go out in the language the customer prefers.

Online booking + reminders

Most customers would rather book online than call — surveys consistently find around 70% of consumers prefer online booking, and businesses offering round-the-clock self-scheduling see meaningfully more appointments. We set up a clean online booking page tied to your calendar, then layer on automatic text and email reminders to cut no-shows. Customers can book themselves at 11 p.m. on a Sunday; you wake up to a full schedule.

More Google reviews

Reviews are the modern word of mouth in a tight-knit market like the Chaleur. About 93% of consumers read online reviews before choosing a local business, and Google is by far the most-read platform. Our 5-star Review Engine automatically asks happy customers for a review at the right moment and routes them to your Google profile — in English or French — so your reputation grows steadily instead of by luck.

Automate the busywork

Beyond the phone, we automate the follow-ups that eat your day: new-lead replies, no-show recovery, review requests, appointment confirmations and simple back-office tasks. It's the same done-for-you approach — you tell us how your business runs, we build the automations, and they run quietly in the background. Our guide on how to automate your small business walks through what's possible. Want the full picture for your shop? Book a free Automation Audit.

How to get started

It's three simple steps. First, book a free demo so you can hear the bilingual front desk answer a call. Second, we set everything up remotely — front desk, booking, reviews and automations — connected to your existing number and calendar. Third, you go live, usually within a few days to about two weeks. From there every call is answered, every booking lands in your calendar, and the follow-ups run themselves — in English and French.
