- Smart appointment scheduling that automatically blocks appropriate time for walk-ins
- Digital check-in for walk-in customers without account creation
- Revenue dashboard tracking walk-in vs appointment earnings
Target Users: Independent barbershop owners and small chain barbershops (1-5 locations) who handle both appointments and walk-in customers
Revenue Model: SaaS subscription with tiered pricing based on number of barbers/locations
