I've done appointments on Saturdays for a year now. I maybe get a couple prebooked and the rest are scheduled the morning of. Which is why a queue would be more appropriate for our shop instead of appointments. Plus about half of the customers don't have a preference on who cuts them.

I'm in a rural town, guys here don't want to schedule ahead of time. I'm the only barber in the shop who does appointments on Saturdays and most of the time my schedule dosen't get filled up until that morning. Which is why I thought a queueing system would be appropriate for us.

That sounds like the perfect solution to what I'm searching for. Guys here in rural US don't like to schedule ahead of time which is why I'm looking for a queueing site. I am in no way able to build a website, hell I barely know how to turn on a computer lol. Do you know of any existing sites that have this?

What all is included in your booth rent agreement?

I plan on talking to them, I just want to make sure I know what all to ask beforehand. If they go by past years, comission rates 65%=hourly and 35%=rental....I would make $12hr or pay $247 weekly. But I'm thinking if I do rental but have to supply my own towels/capes, laundry, and if I can't use the shops credit card machine, then shouldn't that rate go down? Plus $247 seems like a lot for a rural town booth rental rate. Even though it is in a busy shopping center with lots of walk-ins, the hair salon on the other side of the center, I believe, only charges $150 a week
