What is a barber booking system?
A barber booking system lets clients book appointments online and gives shop owners tools to manage their schedule, staff, deposits, and client records. CutQueue is a barber booking system designed specifically for barbershops — not generic salons.
Does CutQueue work for solo barbers?
Yes. The Solo Barber plan at £19/month gives one barber a booking page, email reminders, a website, client recall, and VAT reporting. The Booking Only plan at £10/month covers the essentials.
How do I take deposits through CutQueue?
Set your deposit mode in the dashboard: no deposit, first-time clients only, or every booking. Clients pay via Stripe checkout when they book — the amount lands in your connected account.
Does CutQueue reduce no-shows?
Significantly. CutQueue sends automatic email reminders before every appointment, and deposits give clients a financial reason to show up. Most shops report a major drop in no-shows within weeks.
Can I use CutQueue for multiple barbers?
Yes. The Shop up to 4 plan (£30/month) and Shop unlimited plan (£49/month) support multiple barbers with individual scheduling, barber-level availability, and staff permission controls.
Is there a website included?
Plans from Solo Barber (£19/month) include a barbershop website hosted at joincutqueue.com/[your-slug]. It shows your services, gallery, about section, and a booking button.
