Questions
- Does theCut handle walk-ins?
- theCut lets staff assign walk-in clients to available barbers by creating an appointment. It doesn't list a self check-in kiosk or a shared walk-in line with wait times.
- Can barbers keep theCut and use Quevo?
- Yes. Barbers can keep booking on theCut while Quevo runs the walk-in line at the door. Or move bookings to Quevo's booking page so the whole shop is in one place.
- What does Quevo need to run?
- A printed QR code is enough to start. For a kiosk, any iPad from the last five years works. Barbers manage the line from the Quevo Business app on iPhone or iPad.
