What Barbershop Manager is
Barbershop Manager combines a check-in kiosk, live waiting list, barber and customer apps, checkout, and a shop website for barbershops running walk-in service. Walk-in customers can enter a name and phone number, choose a barber or the first available, and receive a text ticket showing their place in line. Website check-ins join the same live queue. Individual barber logins support taking customers, setting availability, recording services and tips, and viewing daily totals. An owner dashboard shows service revenue, tips, customer counts, and totals for each barber. Customer follow-up options include branded text receipts, next-up alerts, return reminders, win-back messages, review links, and birthday gift cards. Plans include 500 SMS per month; additional credits cost 2¢ per text with a 1,000-text minimum, and the trial includes 100 SMS. The service runs on Android, iOS, and the web. There is no free plan, and a free trial is available.
