Add walk-in
The walk-in list over the shop's bench of winter coats: three waiting, each with a wait from the real afternoon.

Walk-ins and bookings, one book.

Booktender keeps the walk-in list beside the calendar and works out each wait from every barber's real afternoon, so you can tell the person at the door something true.

  • Add a walk-in in two taps, or start them straight away.
  • Ask for a barber, or take the next one free.
  • Booked clients keep their times; walk-ins fill the gaps.
  • On Shop + Phone, callers hear the wait and can join the list by phone.

Booth renters, side by side.

Run a shop of employees, of booth renters, or both. A renter is part of your shop's calendar without handing their book to everyone.

  • A renter keeps their own book of clients and sees only theirs.
  • Chair rent, weekly or monthly, counted day by day against their sales and tips.
  • Commission plans with dates for employees; tips go to whoever earned them.
  • The shop pays one price per location. Renters never pay us.

Regulars, known by name.

Your regulars come back every few weeks for the same thing from the same barber. Booktender remembers it, at the desk and on the phone, so nobody has to ask.
