Frequently asked questions

Does it work for walk-ins only?+

Yes — or run it alongside bookings. It's flexible for any barber shop setup.

What if a client doesn't have a smartphone?+

Staff can still add them to the queue manually and call them by name.

What is barber queue management?+

Barber queue management lets barbershops run a digital waiting list so customers join by QR code, track their place, and get notified when their chair is ready — instead of sitting in the shop.

Can barbershops use a QR code waiting list?+

Yes. Customers scan a QR code, get a live position, and receive a browser notification when it's their turn — with no app for them to download.

How do digital waiting lists reduce walk-ins walking away?+

Live wait times and 'you're next' alerts keep walk-ins informed while they wait, so fewer leave and chairs stay full.
