# Cutzop > Cutzop is an iPad barbershop kiosk for walk-ins, chair queues, and card-present checkout on the counter reader.

A guest walks up, signs in as a registered client (4-digit PIN) or as a walk-in (name and phone), chooses a barber from rated profiles, and joins that barber’s chair queue. When the cut is done, the same tablet shows ratings and checkout — QR or tap-to-pay on the counter card reader. Cutzop is built for the front desk, not a salon calendar: the tablet stays in Guided Access, wait time is twelve minutes times guests already waiting or in the chair, and card numbers never sit in kiosk JavaScript as a PAN. Independent shops and multi-chair floors use it to replace the clipboard at the door. It does not claim to be a spa CRM or a phone booking marketplace. ## Who it is for Cutzop is for independent barbershops and multi-chair shops that run walk-ins on a front-desk iPad. It is not a full spa CRM and it is not a phone booking marketplace. The tablet stays in Guided Access; cashiers are not required to stand at a laptop to take a name. ## Wait time Cutzop estimates wait time as twelve minutes times the number of guests already waiting or in the chair. A shop with two people queued shows about 24 minutes. The estimate is a shop-floor heuristic, not a GPS arrival time, and updates as the queue changes on the tablet. ## Payments Cutzop does not store card numbers on the iPad. Checkout creates a card-present payment and prompts the guest to scan a QR code or tap a card on the Stripe Terminal reader at the counter. Admin staff can mark a chair “ready to pay” from the kiosk supervisor view. ## Hardware The recommended front-desk device is an iPad with Cutzop installed as a Home Screen app (Safari Share → Add to Home Screen), Guided Access on, and Auto-Lock set to Never during open hours. The installed app opens the kiosk at /app/barber after sign-in. Pair the shop’s card reader at the counter for tap-to-pay. Receipt printers already at the location keep working. ## How walk-in check-in works 1. Wake the lock screen: The iPad shows a large clock, local weather, and estimated wait. The glass dock peeks at the bottom with Walk-In, Registered, and Admin. 2. Identify the guest: Walk-ins enter first name and phone. Registered guests enter a 4-digit PIN. Cutzop greets them by name before barber selection. 3. Choose a barber: Swipe the horizontal carousel. Open a profile to see years on the chair, skill tags, a ratings radar (fades, punctuality, talk, beard), and a nine-image portfolio. Tap Join queue. 4. Wait or sit: The guest returns to the lock screen. Avatars show who is waiting versus in the chair. Staff seat the next guest from Admin → Schedule. 5. Rate and pay: When the cut is done, the tablet opens checkout: five stars, feedback chips, the total, a QR code, and a tap-card prompt. Payment complete clears the session. ## FAQ Q: What is Cutzop? A: Cutzop is an iPad barbershop kiosk. Guests check in, pick a barber, join a chair queue, rate the cut, and pay on the counter card reader — QR checkout or tap to pay. It runs in the browser as a full-screen tablet app. Q: How does walk-in check-in work on Cutzop? A: The guest taps Walk-In on the glass dock, types a first name on the on-screen keyboard, enters a phone number on the PIN pad, then continues to barber selection. Cutzop looks up the phone in shop customers or creates a walk-in profile tagged barber-kiosk. Q: How do registered guests sign in? A: Registered guests tap Registered and enter a 4-digit PIN. In demo, PIN 1234 signs in as Alex Rivera. Live shops can map PINs onto customer records. A wrong PIN shakes the dots and clears the pad. Q: Does Cutzop replace Square Appointments? A: No. Square Appointments is a calendar for booked slots. Cutzop is a walk-in chair queue on a shared iPad: barber discovery, wait-time widget, and counter pay. Shops that live on walk-ins use Cutzop at the door; shops that live on pre-books keep a calendar. Q: How is wait time calculated? A: Cutzop multiplies active queue length (waiting plus in-chair) by 12 minutes per guest. Zero guests displays “No wait.” Staff seating a guest or completing pay updates the widget on the lock screen. Q: How do payments work? A: After the cut, staff mark the session ready to pay. The guest rates the chair with stars and chips, then pays by scanning a checkout QR or tapping a card on the terminal below the iPad. Card data never sits in the kiosk JavaScript as a PAN. Q: How do I install Cutzop on an iPad? A: On Safari, tap Share, then Add to Home Screen. Open the Cutzop icon so it runs full-screen without Safari chrome, turn on Guided Access, and set Auto-Lock to Never during open hours. Chrome and Edge on Android show an Install button. After sign-in, the Home Screen app opens the kiosk at /app/barber. Q: How much does Cutzop cost? A: Cutzop is $59 per month per signed-in shop account. Demo sign-in on this site is free and does not require a card. Card-present fees are billed by Stripe on top of the subscription. Q: Who owns Cutzop? A: Cutzop is the barbershop kiosk product on this site. Product Operations reviews public pages against the live kiosk at /app/barber.
