Live Queue · Walk-In Management
ClipprOS's real-time queue shows every waiting client, their assigned barber, wait time, and service — updated live across all staff devices the moment anything changes.

The Problem
— Barbers don't know who's next without asking the owner
→ Every barber sees their own queue live — no asking, no confusion.
— Walk-ins written on a whiteboard that gets erased
→ Digital queue persists, reorders, and syncs the instant you update it.
— Pre-booked appointments and walk-ins tracked separately
→ One unified queue view — bookings and walk-ins side by side in real time.
— Customers leave because they don't know how long the wait is
→ Live estimated wait times visible on your queue screen or shared display.
How It Works
01
Client arrives or books
Walk-ins are added with one tap. Booked appointments auto-appear at their slot time.
02
Assign to a barber
Queue manager assigns the client to any available barber in seconds.
03
Barber marks as in-chair
When the cut starts, the barber updates the status — queue adjusts automatically.
04
Complete and log the sale
Mark as done, log the service and payment — the transaction records itself.

Questions
When a walk-in client arrives, staff add them to the queue in seconds — just enter a name and select a service. Pre-booked appointments automatically appear in the queue at their scheduled time. Every update (assigned barber, status change, completion) syncs live across all staff devices. There's no refresh needed.
Yes. Barbers log in with their own account and see their personal queue — the clients assigned to them. Owners and staff with management access can see the full shop queue across all barbers.
Yes. ClipprOS's queue system handles multiple barbers simultaneously. Each barber has an independent queue, and the owner sees a consolidated view of all active clients across the entire shop floor.
The live queue is primarily a staff tool. Owners can choose to display a public-facing queue screen on a TV or tablet in the waiting area, showing client names (or initials for privacy) and estimated wait times.
