Disclaimer: I work at one of said scheduling startups. I don't want you to think I'm deterring you purposefully, but one hint is that scheduling alone is just not lucrative enough for your goals. Talk to a few merchants & you will find that restaurants with < 10 employees are going to fight tooth & nail for free features. They are operating on very tight margins and they are not going to pay much for this, if anything at all. On top of that, the types of businesses/restaurants that will pay $50-100 p/m require a complicated set of features that would be too much for a one-person lifestyle SaaS. I'd suggest you look to models like Zenefits', who entirely make their revenue from health insurance brokerage.
