The queue, the chairs, the cut and the cash, in one place, in your shop’s own words.
SageBizet is free, browser-based barbershop software built around the walk-in queue: each customer gets a wait worked out from every barber’s own cut times, appointments keep their slots, a TV screen shows who’s next, barbers keep a style card for every cut, payment is taken at the chair, and the day closes with the drawers counted.
On a Saturday the bench is full, nobody is sure of the order, and people walk out because no one can tell them how long they’ll wait.
A regular with an appointment arrives to find his barber halfway through a walk-in. Mixing the two without a system means someone always waits longer than promised.
The customer’s usual barber is off, and nobody knows it was a low fade with a number one on the sides and a natural neckline.
Cuts are paid to whichever barber is free and tips go straight into hands. At close the drawer is short or over and no one can say why.
08:00
Open the drawer with the float. The queue screen shows who is on shift, each barber’s chair, and today’s booked customers.
10:00
A walk-in is added in three taps (what he wants, any barber or his own, a name) or checks himself in at the door. He gets a ticket number and a wait shown as a range.
12:30
Booked customers keep their time; walk-ins fill around them. A barber steps out for lunch and the queue stops sending people to his chair until he’s back.
14:00
The barber’s phone shows the customer’s last cut and his usual. He taps today’s style card, adds a hot towel in one tap, and finishes.
14:30
Cash in two taps from finishing, a tip handed straight to the barber kept out of the drawer, beard oil on the same bill, and the next cut suggested from the customer’s own rhythm.
20:00
The day close lists anyone not yet paid, counts each drawer against what it should hold, and shows each barber’s customers, takings, commission, tips and hours, and tomorrow’s bookings.
Appointments and the walk-in queue run side by side on the same chairs, with a public page where customers book or see the current wait.
A cut, an add-on and a product on one bill, paid at the chair in two taps, with tips for each barber and split payments.
Each barber can have his own drawer; the day close counts every drawer against what it should hold, with tips handed straight to barbers kept out of it.
Pomade and beard oil on the shelf, and neck strips, blades and shaving cream taken off stock by each service’s recipe.
Shop desk, Barber, Shop cashier, Shop stock keeper and Shop manager roles, with commission, clocking in and payouts for each barber.
Most barbershops live on walk-ins with some regulars who book. SageBizet puts the queue at the centre: each person waiting is matched to the barber who can start him soonest, around booked appointments and the end of shifts, using each barber’s own recent times for that cut. The wait is shown as a range, because cuts run short and long.
| In the shop | In SageBizet |
|---|---|
| Who goes next | The shop’s rule: appointments keep their time and walk-ins fill around them, first come first served, or the barber picks; calling someone out of turn is allowed and recorded |
| The wait | A range from each barber’s real cut times (once five are recorded), booked appointments and shift ends |
| The window and the door | A TV screen with ticket numbers and first names, and a check-in page at the door or by a QR code on the TV |
| Missed turns and people who leave | Called and not in the chair moves a person down a set number of places; people who leave are counted by hour |
| Closing time | Walk-ins stop a set time before closing; the desk can still add someone |
| Chairs | In service, brushing down, out of order with a reason, and whose chair it is |
| The cut | A style card for every cut in the shop’s own fields, read back as one line (“Low fade · #1 sides · textured top”), with photos when the customer agrees |
| More than one shop | Branches with their own barbers, chairs, queue, prices and drawers; customers shared |
