First come is a guess
Three people walk in together and the chair order turns into an argument.
Barber shops
A barber waitlist for the walk-in chair.
Clients join from the sidewalk or the QR at the door. You see who is next, and WhatsApp goes out when a chair opens.
Regular bookings sit with the walk-in line.

Digital queue
The live waitlist. People join from a phone, and staff see who is next.
Reservations
A booked cut and a walk-in share the same chair list.
Chair management
The next cut goes to the open chair, in list order.
The line
The shop should not be a standing line.
They wait on the sidewalk
Nobody knows if they are still next, so they keep opening the door.
A chair frees up
The barber is ready and the next client is two blocks away with no message.
How it works
From the door to the chair.
01
They join
Scan the QR or get added at the desk. Name and phone hit the list.
02
They leave the doorway
Their link shows their place, so they can wait nearby.
03
The chair is theirs
WhatsApp goes out when the barber is ready.
On the list
What the barber list does.
Digital queue
See the line, the wait, and who has been standing the longest.
QR and link check-in
No app download. The join page opens in the phone browser.
WhatsApp updates
WhatsApp sends the update. Two-way SMS is not live yet.
Reservations
A booked cut and a walk-in stay on one list.
Chair management
The next client is a row on the list, not a name shouted across the shop.
Service numbers
Walk-ins, average wait, and Saturday peaks. You can see how the line ran.
People can join from a printed code. See the QR code queue. The same product runs the restaurant waitlist.
FAQ
Questions from the shop.
Can each barber have a line?
The list is per location. A second shop is a second location.
What if someone has no phone?
Add them by hand and call their name when the chair is free.
