How it works

Three steps for your clients. Nothing to download.

Check in

Clients type their name on the tablet by the door, pick a service and see your prices and an honest wait.

Choose who

They pick their barber — with photo and wait time — or the first one free. A QR code keeps their place on their phone if they pop out.

Get called

Their name flashes on the TV and tablet with a chime when it's their turn, and their barber's phone already knows they're up.

Everything in one place

For your clients, your team and you — and each sees only what they should.

A loyalty card nobody can lose

Clients add their mobile number when they check in — optional, and only for their card. Every finished cut adds a stamp automatically.

  • You choose the reward: a free cut, money off, a percentage off, or your own idea
  • Reward visits show 🎁 to the barber, so nobody gets charged by mistake
  • Pick which services earn a stamp
  • We never keep their number — just a code for their card
  • Off until you switch it on

See it before you sign up

This is the real BarberQ app running a sample shop. Tap around — nothing you do here is saved.

Put faces to the queue

Each barber adds their own photo from their phone. Clients see who they're waiting for, where they'll sit and how long it'll be — on the tablet and the TV.

Example illustrations. Your shop uses your own team's photos.

Questions

Does it work for hair salons and nail salons?

Yes. Choose your type of business when you set up and BarberQ uses your words throughout — stylists, or nail techs, stations and treatments — with starter services you can rename.

What do I need to buy?

For the queue plans, any tablet with a web browser for the door. A TV is optional. Staff use their own phones. The Owner plan needs no tablet at all.

Can my staff see the takings?

No. Staff phones only get the staff screen. Takings, stats and settings sit behind your owner PIN and your account password.

Do my clients need an app?

No. They check in on your tablet. If they scan the QR code, their place in the queue opens in their phone's browser.

Can I cancel?

Any time, from My account. Every plan starts with a free 14-day trial.
