What CutQueue is
CutQueue is booking and management software for solo barbers and multi-chair shops, with tools for daily appointments, walk-ins, staff schedules, and shop administration. It supports manual bookings, closed periods, time off, and next-up tracking. Clients can create accounts, verify by email, manage bookings, and use a portal for future appointments. A tablet kiosk handles walk-ins and check-ins, with arrivals visible to staff. CutQueue also provides a booking website, booking button, QR codes for bookings and reviews, and print-ready shop posters. Payment and record features include deposits, cash and card logging, VAT exports, payroll tracking, and external payout records; CutQueue says it does not hold payroll money. Its dashboard includes reporting, stock, retail sales, reorders, expenses, tasks, notes, and consultation records. Stripe can be connected for deposits, which can be required for first-time clients or every booking. The service is available on Android, iOS, and web, and is installable from a browser or addable to an Apple device’s home screen through Safari. CutQueue is built primarily for UK barbershops but says it works globally.
