For barbershops
Regulars book the barber they trust, not whoever is free. Whensday keeps a calendar per chair, takes walk-ins alongside them, and never charges you a cut of the booking.
Free, and no card. About twenty minutes to your first booking.
1. A queue at the door on a Saturday and an empty shop at eleven on a Tuesday.
2. Clients who only want one barber, and no way for them to see when he's in.
3. A booking platform taking a slice of a cut you did entirely yourself.
Every service carries its own length, price and the people qualified to do it. Nothing gets booked into a gap it does not fit.
A booking arrives as a request. Accept it, decline it, or offer the nearest time you can actually do — and let them decide.
Confirmations when you accept, and a reminder before the appointment. The two messages that do most of the work on no-shows.
Printable from your dashboard. It opens your page, your services and your real availability — no app to install, no account to make.
The part that does the work
A QR code on the mirror. Scanned from the chair, it opens your shop — and books the same barber again for four weeks out.
Whensday is new in South Africa. The diary, the requests inbox, the reminders and the QR code all work today, and they are what we think is worth your afternoon — a front desk that answers the phone for you, whether or not anybody ever finds you through us.
The other half is a place customers search for barbershops near them. That is real and it is growing, and we would rather you listed for the diary and treated any booking that arrives through search as the bonus it currently is.
Listing is free. Bookings are free. Paid placement exists, is optional, and is always labelled as paid.
Your services, your hours, your people. Twenty minutes, and the next person who asks for a time can see the answer themselves.
