Your day, live on the shop TV. Nobody asks “how long?”
Every barber, every appointment, moving with the clock. Walk-ins see the wait before they ask. Clients see they're next. You keep cutting.
Included in the one $35/mo plan. Runs on a Fire TV Stick, Google TV or onn with the Barbercita Kiosk app.
The real screen, drawn from the app with made-up clients.
“How long’s the wait?” answered on the wall.
The question you answer forty times a day, with clippers in your hand. Put the answer on the TV and get back to the cut.
Walk-ins stay
They see who has an opening before they decide to leave.
Clients relax
They see they're next instead of hovering by the chair.
You keep cutting
No stopping a fade to read the book out loud.
It moves with the clock.
The red line is now, and it stays put. Appointments slide left at their real length and off the edge when they're done. No jumping on the hour, no squeezed cards.
New bookings fade in within about 15 seconds, from your app, your booking page, the walk-in kiosk or the front desk.
NEW, RESCHEDULED, MEMBER, COMPLETED.
A fresh booking gets a NEW tab and a client who moved their visit gets RESCHEDULED, each for 15 minutes. Members glow green. Finished visits fade and say COMPLETED.
Names show as first name and last initial, never more.
Ads that play start to finish.
If your shop has ads turned on, the TV shows the schedule, then plays an ad all the way through, every slide, then goes back to the schedule. You set how long the schedule stays up in between.
The big booking apps stop at the front desk.
SQUIRE and Vagaro sell a check-in tablet. None of the big booking apps puts your day's schedule on the shop TV. Here's what each company's own pages say.

From each company's own pages; "Not listed" means their pages don't mention it, not that it can't exist. A few waitlist-only tools (not booking apps) do show a queue on a TV.
