Barbershop booking system in Malaysia | bookings, walk-ins, and POS on Timeo
The barbershop setup on Timeo: online bookings for regulars, instant walk-in checkout at the POS, barber commissions, and WhatsApp reminders.
A barbershop is half bookings, half walk-ins, and entirely about keeping chairs turning. The software has to be faster than a paper book, or the crew will go back to the paper book. Here is the setup Malaysian barbershops run on Timeo.
Bookings for regulars, speed for walk-ins
Your booking page lists cuts, fades, and shaves with real prices and each barber’s real availability, so regulars lock their barber for Saturday from their phone. Walk-ins do not touch the booking flow at all: the front desk clicks an empty slot on the calendar or rings the cut straight through the POS, and the chair keeps moving.
Let them choose their barber (or not)
A customer booking a fade only sees barbers who actually do fades. Regulars pick their guy; new customers pick “any barber” and Timeo round-robins the booking to whoever is free, which spreads work fairly and fills more slots.
Cut done, paid, next
Checkout happens on the booking itself: services, products (that pomade tin by the till), and payment land in one order. Cash, card, DuitNow QR, e-wallet, all recorded against the right barber, with a receipt on paper or WhatsApp.
What keeps them coming back
- Cut packages: sell 10 cuts upfront, Timeo counts them down at checkout. The punch card without the cardboard.
- Member pricing for regulars on services and products.
- Reminders by WhatsApp and email cut no-shows, and a freed slot goes to the waitlist automatically.
Commissions the crew can check themselves
Every cut is attributed to a barber at checkout, so commission reports come straight from sales data nobody disputes. Month-end stops being a negotiation at the back of the shop.
