Barber FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about QBarber.
What is QBarber?
QBarber is a real-time queue management platform built for barbershops. It helps you manage walk-ins, notify customers when it is their turn, and run a smoother shop floor with tablet, kiosk, and customer web tools.
How does queue management work?
Customers join the queue from their phone or your kiosk. Your team sees the live queue on the barber tablet, calls the next client, and marks cuts complete. Everyone sees accurate wait times and position updates in real time.
How do customers join the queue?
Customers scan a QR code at your shop or open a link you share. They join from a mobile-friendly web page — no app download required. They can also install the QBarber PWA for faster access and push notifications.
Do I need special hardware?
No. You can use your own phones or tablets (BYOD). QBarber also supports optional kiosk and display setups if you want a dedicated in-shop screen for walk-ins and queue visibility.
Can I add multiple barbers?
Yes. Add each barber to your shop so they can manage their own queue, take breaks, and call the next customer from the tablet. Plans support solo barbers through full teams.
Can I manage multiple locations?
Multi-location support is available on the Pro plan. Each shop gets its own queue, branding, and barber team while you manage everything from one account.
How does pricing work?
QBarber offers Free, Standard, and Pro plans. Start free with core queue features, then upgrade as your team grows for advanced analytics, branding, priority support, and multi-location tools. See our pricing page for full details.
How do notifications work?
Customers can opt in to push notifications when they join the queue. They receive alerts when their turn is approaching so they can step away without losing their place.
Does QBarber work offline?
Core queue operations continue with limited connectivity. The barber tablet caches recent state and syncs automatically when the connection returns, so your shop can keep moving during brief outages.
How do I get support?
Standard and Pro plans include priority support. All shops can reach our team by email for setup help, billing questions, and troubleshooting. We aim to respond quickly during UK business hours.
