Duke does this for you

On its own, by your rule

Saturday slots, filled on WhatsApp.

Customers ask for their barber and a time. Duke offers that barber's free slots for the services you've made bookable, quotes your price and books it.

Waits for your approval

Regulars who've gone quiet.

Ask who hasn't had a cut in five weeks. Duke lists them with their usual barber and gets your template ready, sent only when you approve.

Every tin on the shelf, counted.

Ask what's running low. Duke reads stock and reorder levels, so the pomade and oils get ordered before the weekend, not after it.

Big bookings go to a person.

A wedding party or a complaint isn't Duke's call. He hands the conversation over with a line on why, and you pick it up from the inbox.
