The difference

We are your book. Not a marketplace.

Most booking apps are really customer directories — they list your shop next to the shop down the road, then charge you a slice of every new client who finds you there. CutBook doesn't have a directory. Your clients are yours, your prices are yours, and the bill is the same every month whether you cut ten heads or two hundred.

Flat price, alwaysOne monthly fee for the whole shop. Add a fifth chair, pay the same.
No cut of your cutsNo percentage on bookings, no fee per client, no processing markup.
Your clients stay yoursExport your client list any time. Leave whenever you like.
Nobody sees your shop but youNo public profile, no reviews page, no competitor listed underneath.
How it works

Built for someone who is standing up.

Every screen assumes one hand, a customer waiting, and no time to read instructions.

Today

Every chair, one screen.

Time down the left, one column per barber, blocks sized to the service. The red line is now. Whoever answers the phone can book for whoever is free.

  • Pull an extra barber in for one day without changing their normal schedule
  • Mark someone off for two hours or the whole week
  • Two phones can't double-book the same chair — the database won't allow it
  • A booking made at the counter shows on everyone's phone instantly

Checkout

Two taps and it's in the books.

Cash or card, a tip, a discount if you gave one. CutBook doesn't touch the money — you keep taking payment however you already do — it just records what happened so the numbers add up at close.

  • Cash or card recorded with one tap
  • Any discount — 15%, 20%, or five dollars off for a regular
  • No-shows marked and counted separately, so they never inflate a good day
  • Tip goes straight to the barber, never into the commission split
CutBook checkout on a phone: cash or card, discount chips, tip chips, and the barber's take-home.
Earnings

Know what's in the drawer before you lock up.

Commission worked out per barber at the rate you set, tips on top, cash and card separated. Filter before tax or after, by barber, by payment, by date.

  • Cash total tells you exactly what should be in the till
  • Before-tax and after-tax views for whoever does your books
  • Staff report: who worked which days, hours, and what they took home
  • Export to CSV for your accountant

The one thing we send

A reminder the day before. Nothing else, ever.

No-shows are the most expensive thing in a barbershop, and one email fixes most of them. So when you take a booking and the client gives you an email address, CutBook sends a confirmation there and then, and a reminder the day before.

That is the only message CutBook will ever send on your behalf. No marketing blasts, no newsletters, no "we miss you" campaigns, no review requests. It comes from your shop's name and replies land in your inbox.

✓ Included, not an add-on ✓ Switch it off per shop ✓ No email? Booking still works
Questions

The things shops ask first.

Can clients book themselves online?

No — and that is on purpose. CutBook is the book your staff keep, for shops that run on walk-ins and the phone. If what you need is a public booking page where strangers pick their own slot, we are honestly the wrong tool and you should look at one of the marketplace apps.

So there is no app for my clients?

None. Nothing for them to download, no account to create, no profile of your shop on anyone's website. The only time CutBook touches a client is the reminder email you asked it to send.

Does CutBook take my card payments?

No. You keep the machine you already have. CutBook just records whether a cut was paid by cash or card so your end-of-day numbers tie out.

What if not everyone works every day?

That's the normal case. Each person has their usual days; only those people get a column. Pull someone in for a single day, or mark them off for two hours, without touching their schedule.

Can I see what each barber earned?

Yes — per barber, per day, week or month, with their commission rate applied and tips kept separate. The staff report also shows days worked and hours.

How do I get my old appointments in?

You don't need to. Most shops start CutBook on a Monday with an empty book and carry the old one for a week. Your client list can be imported from a spreadsheet.

What happens after the trial?

Nothing disappears. The book goes read-only until you add a card — your bookings and history stay exactly where they are.

Try it on a busy Saturday.

That's the real test. Fourteen days, no card, and your whole shop on it in an afternoon.
