Barbershop software that runs the chair.

In a barbershop the scarce resource isn't the room, it's the hands. Two barbers are two parallel calendars, and a client who comes in for Nick won't accept whoever is free. A single calendar that doesn't distinguish who's cutting is good for counting appointments, not for organizing them.

Siimplo books by staff member: each barber gets their own column, their own hours and their own services, and the appointment is held against that person. If one works Tuesdays and Thursdays and the other Wednesday to Saturday, the system already knows, and nobody books a slot that doesn't exist.

Walk-ins don't disappear because you bought software. They get entered when they arrive, they take the real slot, and they're recorded like any other visit — so close of day counts everything that sat in the chair, not just what was booked ahead.

"How did we cut it last time?" is the hardest question in the shop when a client comes back every three weeks and you see forty people a week. The clipper, the number, the fade, the beard with or without a line-up: that is the service, and right now it lives in the memory of whoever did it.

In Siimplo each client has a record with the history of what was done and any notes you want to leave, photos included. Whoever takes the chair today opens the record and knows exactly what to do, even if someone else cut it originally. In a shop with staff turnover, that's what keeps the client when the barber changes.

And because WhatsApp reminders send themselves, the client who comes every three weeks gets the nudge without anyone remembering to send it.

A barbershop takes cash, transfers and cards, sometimes all three in one visit. If your control is a till and a notebook, close of day is an estimate: you know what's there, not what should be there.

Siimplo records every payment with its method, so closing shows you the total and the breakdown — how much came in as cash, how much by transfer, how much on cards. A shortfall shows up that day rather than at month end.

The reports group the same takings by barber and by service, which is exactly what you need to settle commission without an argument, and to find out whether the service that eats the most chair time is the one that pays best.
