What the system does for you

Fewer empty chairs. More money kept.

For shop owners, barbers who rent a chair and solo barbers. Every feature below gives you money or time back. Here is what it does, and how it works for you.

The screens on this page are from our model shop, Ledger & Blade. The barbers, clients and bookings are samples.

Fewer empty chairs

A booked chair should be a full chair.

Most empty chairs come from bookings that were never real, or a day that sold out while people wanted in. We fix both.

Fake numbers never hold your chair.

Only real bookings take a time.

When someone books, we text them a link. They tap it to lock in the time. If nobody taps, the time opens back up for someone else. A fake or mistyped number can’t hold a chair.

The booking page after booking: Check your texts to lock it in. Skin Fade with Marcus, Friday 12:00 PM.
Right after booking: check your texts.
The page the text link opens: Did you book this? Skin Fade with Marcus, with a Yes, I booked this button.
The text link: tap yes and the time is theirs.

A full day doesn’t turn people away.

Clients join the waitlist for a full day.

When a day is booked solid, they can wait for a time to open instead of going to another shop. When someone cancels, the first on the list gets a text and taps to take the time. A cancelled time doesn’t sit empty.

The booking page on a full day: No openings this day, with a form to join the waitlist.
A full day: join the waitlist.

Money in

Get paid for the time you held.

A no-show costs you a chair and an hour. Now the next booking comes with a deposit.

A no-show pays a deposit next time.

Miss once, and the next booking waits on a deposit.

The default is $20, and it comes off the cut. You choose the amount. The client sends it to your Cash App, Venmo or Zelle. When it lands, you tap Deposit in. If it doesn’t come in within 2 hours, the time opens back up. If they keep the cut, the deposit is cleared.

  • The client sees it up front, on the booking page.
  • You see who is waiting on a deposit, right in your day.
The booking pass: Hold your time. A $20 deposit holds the time and comes off the cut. Cash App link and a booking number.
What the client sees.
The barber app: Omar is waiting on a deposit. Buttons: Deposit in $20, Let it go this time.
What you tap: Deposit in.

Know what you made.

Cuts, tips, deposits and rewards in one place.

Everything you earned adds up on one screen. See it by week and by year, and stop piecing it together from texts and cash.

Regulars come back

Make the next booking easy to say yes to.

A regular is worth more than a new face. Give them a reason to rebook, and bring their friends.

A loyalty card that rebooks your regulars.

Every 10th cut is half off.

You pick the reward. Stamps add up from the cuts you mark done, and each client gets their own card page.

Bring a friend: the friend gets $5 off their first cut, and your client gets $5 off their next.

A client card page: 7 of 10 stamps. 3 more cuts and the 10th is half off. Bring a friend: $5 off for them, $5 off for you.

Open time this afternoon? Fill it in one tap.

“I’ve got openings” texts your regulars.

One tap texts the regulars who are due back, with the open times and your booking link. You see the list and the message first, and untick anyone you want to skip.

I’ve got openings: the regulars due back, ticked, the message with today’s open times, and a button to text them.
One tap, every regular who’s due.

Get seen

Your best work should book your next client.

The cut you are proud of is your best ad. We make it easy to post it.

Post the cut in about 20 seconds.

Before and after, with a booking link on it.

Add the two photos. We put them side by side with Book with and your name, plus your booking link. Share it to Instagram or TikTok, and your caption and link are copied for you.

It only works when the client has said OK to post.
