A barbershop operates differently from a hair salon.
A barbershop often combines walk-ins with appointments, with peak times on Fridays and Saturdays. Customers also want to see the same barber on a regular basis, which requires a schedule tailored to that need.
A mix of walk-ins and appointments
Someone walks in just as the next appointment is set to start in ten minutes. Without an overview, it's a gamble whether they can fit in—and if you guess wrong, everyone has to wait.
It all comes together on Friday and Saturday
Two days when your office is packed and your phone won't stop ringing. That's exactly when you have the least time to keep track of your schedule or call someone back.
Everyone wants to go to the same barber
Customers come back for a specific person and for a haircut they're familiar with. That preference needs to be in the schedule, not just in the head of a single employee.
Paperwork eats into your evening
Cash on hand, inventory, your team's hours, and tracking regular customers. Work that needs to be done, but not again after closing time.
What Optios Does for Your Barbershop.
Optios combines a schedule for scheduled appointments with slots for walk-ins, allowing you to make the most of peak times without having to turn customers away. It also handles the tasks that would otherwise remain undone after closing time: processing payments, managing inventory, following up with customers, and sending reminders.
Book an appointment online with his regular barber
Customers choose their treatment, their favorite barber, and a time that works for them. Day or night, even through your social media profiles.

Customer ManagementQuick checkout at the counter

POS systemInventory You Can Count On
You don't just sell haircuts. You track beard oil, wax, and shampoo in the same system so you can reorder them in a timely manner.
Inventory managementFewer empty seats on your busiest day
Confirmations and reminders are sent out without you even having to think about it. Any spots that open up are automatically offered.
Fewer no-showsDesigned for both walk-ins and appointments.
Customers can book appointments online with their regular barber, while you can still welcome walk-ins at the front desk. Subscriptions and loyalty cards help keep regular customers coming back to your business.
