The hosted version of the free "Salon Queue & Wait Estimate" Google Sheet — same idea, real buttons instead of formulas, and a waiting-area display no one can accidentally break. Whoever's at the counter checks a customer in, the stylist taps two buttons, and the wait estimate updates itself from how long today's services have actually taken.
Start your 7-day free trialLearns each stylist's actual average service time today and recomputes every waiting customer's estimate from it — the same technique the free sheet teaches, minus the formulas.
An unguessable link for the salon's screen — now serving, next up, no login, updates itself every few seconds.
A customer scans it, types their name, picks a stylist (or "any stylist" for the shortest queue), and gets a token — zero data entry from the counter.
One shared queue, filtered per stylist — works for a solo barber or a six-chair salon without changing how it's used.
Salons and barbershops with 3–6 chairs currently running a paper waitlist or a shouted-across-the-room queue — most often in the USA, UK, UAE/Gulf, Singapore, and Australia, where a few hundred dollars a month for a better walk-in experience is an easy call, and legacy salon-management suites are priced and scoped for chains far bigger than yours.
