For barbershops

Walk-ins without the crowded waiting room.

Customers join your walk-in list from a QR code and get a message when it’s almost their turn. Reward regulars and ask for reviews too, by text and/or email.

  • A walk-in waitlist by text, so nobody waits in a packed shop.
  • Rewards for regulars, with no punch cards.
  • More 5-star reviews from happy customers.

How it works in a barbershop

Six moments that keep the chairs busy

Each message goes out by text and/or email, whichever your customers prefer, and every reply lands in one inbox.

Saturday morning Waitlist

A walk-in list by text

Customers scan the QR code at the door or give their number at the front, then grab a coffee. One tap tells them they’re next.

You’re next! Please head back in the next 10 minutes.

Questions barbershops ask

Do customers need to download an app?

No. Messages arrive by text and/or email. Customers can also log in to your page at thanku.deals with a one-time code to see their spot in line and their rewards. There’s no app and no password.

How do walk-ins join the list?

They scan the QR code on your door sign or give their number at the front. Staff can add, move and remove people from any phone or tablet.

Can we take appointments too?

Yes. Keep booking appointments the way you do now and send reminders for them, while walk-ins use the waitlist.

What does texting cost?

Growth and Pro include 1,000 texts a month for each location (500 during the free trial); more are 2¢ each. Starter doesn’t include texting. A text longer than 160 characters counts as 2 or more, the way phone carriers bill it. Email is included in every plan.

Try it free for 60 days
