Do clients need to download an app?
No. Clients join the queue by scanning a QR code or tapping a link. Everything runs in their phone's browser — no download, no account, no friction.
What equipment does my shop need?
Just a device with a browser — the phone, tablet, or computer you already have. Nothing to install. Staff access the live queue dashboard through any browser tab.
How do clients join the queue?
They scan a QR code displayed at your shop, enter their name and service, and they're in. Takes about 30 seconds.
Can clients see their wait time?
Yes. Their phone shows their live position in the queue and an estimated wait time, updating every few seconds — so they can grab a coffee nearby without wondering where they're up to.
How do I call a client when I'm ready?
One tap on your dashboard sends them an SMS instantly. They make their way over — no shouting across the shop, no hunting them down.
Can I run bookings and walk-ins at the same time?
Yes. You can switch specific days to booking mode, or even run some barbers on queueing while others take bookings — total flexibility, whatever suits your shop.
Is BarberQ custom built and branded to my shop?
Yes. We build according to your needs. For example, some shops run queueing on weekdays and bookings on Saturdays. Or these barbers do queueing, these do bookings. We build to your needs, and match your brand.
