Walk-in
Take the next person for a cut or a tidy. It only sits in a gap that is actually free.

Cobbtree for Barbers
Walk-ins, regulars and a chair that does not wait on a form.
Barbershops mix a queue at the door with people who book their fade every four weeks. Cobbtree lets you take both, on the same chair, without a tablet that only does appointments.
- Live availability
- Only real services, people and working times reach the client.
- One client record
- The booking, notes, payment and next visit stay connected.
- One working day
- The website, diary, team and till act on the same information.
The shop floor
A walk-in at 12. A booked fade at 12.30. Same chair.
If you only take bookings, the walk-in trade dies. If you only take walk-ins, regulars stop trusting you. Cobbtree keeps a live chair so a walk-in fills a gap and a booked client still gets the time they asked for.
Booked regular
The every-four-weeks fade is already on the chair. They get a reminder, not a hope.
Pay at the chair
Card or cash before they stand up. No separate card machine dance if you do not want one.
The useful parts
Barbering is a chair and a queue. Software should know that.
Not a salon calendar with the word barber on it. A shop that can take the person at the door and the person who booked.
Chair columns
Each barber is a column. Walk-ins and bookings share it. Nothing overlaps.
Walk-ins in the gaps
If you take walk-ins, they fill empty time. They do not shove a booked fade.
Regulars on a rhythm
Rebook the four-week fade from the ticket. Reminders only go to people who sat and paid.
Pay at the chair
Card or cash, quickly, before the next person sits down.
Kids and doubles
Father-and-son, two chairs, one ticket if that is how you work.
Found by people looking for a barber
Your Cobbtree listing shows the shop, the team and when you are actually free.
How a barbering day runs
Door, chair, till. In that order.
- 01
They walk in or they book
Your listing and your door both feed the same chair. Regulars can pick their barber.
- 02
The chair is honest
Skin fade, beard, hot towel: each one has a time. The next person is not stacked on a 20-minute cut.
- 03
Take the money
Pay at the chair. Split a father-and-son. Add product if you sell it.
- 04
Book the next four weeks
Rebook the regular before they leave. Loyalty stamps if you run them.
