In their own words
Barbs
Barbs is an all-in-one system for barbershops, covering queues, online bookings, point of sale, inventory, and loyalty. Customers can scan a shop QR code to join a queue, follow their turn on a phone, and receive updates. They can also book from a phone through the shop QR code without downloading an app. The POS supports multiple payment methods and receipt printing; the Android app can keep selling offline and sync later. Barbs sends automatic reminders and notifications through WhatsApp, SMS, and email, and its online store supports DuitNow, ToyyibPay, and Billplz checkout. The Free plan costs nothing and includes one barber, unlimited queue and walk-ins, unlimited POS and receipts, and 15 online bookings per day. Growth costs 79 MYR a month, billed monthly; Pro costs 149 MYR a month, billed monthly; Enterprise costs 299 MYR a month, billed monthly. The service is built for Malaysian barbershops, from solo shops to businesses with multiple branches. It runs on Android and the web.
