Online booking and waitlists for barbershops
The hard part of barbershop booking is mixing appointments and walk-ins without double-booking a chair. AI keeps a live list, books by barber and by service length, texts people when their turn is near, and offers a no-show’s slot to the next person waiting. Westward builds it around how your shop runs.

One list for both
When appointments and walk-ins live in different places, someone gets bumped. A single view shows who is next for each barber and how long the wait is.
Text me when it is close
A walk-in who knows he will be up in a little while can grab a coffee instead of crowding the door. A text when his turn is near makes the waiting room feel less like a waiting room.
No-shows and late arrivals
Set a grace period and a clear policy. If someone is late, his slot can go to the next person, and he gets a link to rebook, without anyone arguing at the door.
Picture this
Examples of what it can look like in a barbershop. Illustrations, not clients.
A guy joins the list from the parking lot. His barber is running behind, so he gets a text when there are two ahead of him.
Someone books a cut and a beard trim and is given a longer slot automatically.
A no-show at 4 pm frees the chair, and the next person on the list is texted.
