BarberFlow

Booking software

Booking and payment software for Canadian barbershops. It fills chairs, keeps clients coming back, and stops no-shows, from the first booking to the last payroll run.

Why we built it

Software built for every business in every country gets a Canadian barbershop wrong. The tax rules, the payroll rules, and the way shops split chairs and commission are different here. BarberFlow is built for that one kind of shop, so it can go deeper on payroll, accounting, and tax than an all-in-one platform will.

Built for Canada

  • GST and HST, baked in
  • CRA-compliant payroll
  • Booth rent and commission splits
  • Interac, supported natively

What it does.

One system for every part of the shop. Most barbershop software does one of these well; BarberFlow is built to do all of them.

Bookings

Appointments across every chair and every location, in real time. Clients pick a service, a barber, and a time on their own.

BarberFlow payroll totals for unpaid, overdue, and paid invoices, with promos, commissions, tips, and tax calculated automatically

Payroll

Payday runs itself. Every cut, tip, and commission split is totalled, then paid out by auto deposit or e-Transfer.

Point of sale

One ticket, any payment method. Tap to Pay on iPhone, the BarberFlow Reader, online cards, or cash.

Client profiles

Every client remembered: what they pay, how often they come in, and the full history of their bookings and messages.

BarberFlow analytics: a barbers leaderboard, bookings by service over time, and gross sales, net sales, and refunds

Analytics

Revenue by service, bookings by day, and a leaderboard for the chairs, with insights that flag a slow Tuesday before it arrives.

Shop management

Locations, services, products, and the team, run from the web dashboard or from a phone.

Also in the box: SMS and email campaigns with promo codes, booth rental, accounting and tax reports, and a customer app for booking.

How a Loop runs

  1. A client goes quiet

    Someone who comes in every three weeks misses a visit. The Loop starts on its own.

  2. An email goes out

    A short note that they're due for a cut, with a link to book their usual slot.

  3. It waits

    Five days. The next step only runs if they still haven't rebooked.

  4. Then a text

    A direct, personal nudge, and a small gift card if that's what it takes.

Loops are the retention half of BarberFlow. An empty chair is usually a client who almost came back, so the product closes that gap before the owner has to think about it.

What it costs

No subscription

No monthly fee, no setup cost, and no per-booking fee.

A fee on card payments

BarberFlow charges per card transaction and nothing else. Cash is free.

Rate match

If a shop's current processor charges less, BarberFlow matches the rate.

The current rate is on the BarberFlow pricing page.
