Frequently asked questions
Can I test before opening?
Yes. Book yourself online, check the appointment in, check it out in the POS, print the receipt, then return the sale and cancel the booking.
What do barbershops forget most often?
Changing the prebuilt USD prices, and giving each barber their services performed. A barber with no services ticked cannot be booked.
Do I need online booking on day one?
No. Walk-ins and the POS work without it. Switch on the booking link once prices and barbers are right.
Who can help me set up?
