FOR BARBERS

A digital punch card for barbers

The tenth cut free, without the cardboard. Scan at the chair, the count updates itself, and nobody has to take your word for how many stamps they had.

Cut and finish

An example cut package. Your business name, colours and wording — you write what a cut is.

A WORKED EXAMPLE

Five-cut card

Example figures, not research — put your own in the calculator below. What matters is the shape: a block priced a little under the sum of its parts, paid for on day one.

Faster than finding the card

No rummaging through a wallet, no re-issuing one that went through the wash. They open their phone, you scan, they sit down.

Start the card part-way

A card that begins at 2 of 11 gets finished far more often than one that begins at 0 of 9 — the same nine cuts, measurably more completions. That is a real field experiment, not a sales pitch.

Any chair can scan it

Add your staff by email. They can issue passes and record cuts; only you can reverse an entry or change what a card is worth.

YOUR SIDE OF IT

One screen. Who is owed what.

Every client, every remaining cut, every package you have sold. Search by name, phone number, pet or vehicle when there is no code to scan — for the client who turned up without their phone.

100 visits you have been paid for and not yet delivered. This is not profit until you do the work.

You give away 360 in discount against 3,000 at single-visit prices. The gain is the cash arriving first, and the visits that would otherwise not have been booked.
