Usta Barber — A Booking System for a Premium Barbershop

About the project

Usta Barber is a premium barbershop chain operating in Korea. As the flow of clients and the number of branches grew, managing the queue and staff manually became difficult. XData built a website and a complete management system for them.

The problem

•clients booked by phone or by walking in

•staff schedules and availability were kept on paper

•the work of several branches could not be tracked from one place

•the live walk-in queue and advance bookings got mixed up

The solution

Public website

A client visits the site, picks a branch, a barber, and a time, and books an appointment online in under a minute. The site works in two languages — Uzbek and Russian.

Management panel

The admin panel runs the entire operation of the barbershop:

•Appointments: pre-booked visits

•Live queue: a real-time queue for walk-in clients

•Staff scheduling: each barber's working hours and availability

•Branches: managing several locations in one system

•Reports: analysis of visits and workload

Technologies

•Frontend: React

•Backend: NestJS

•Database: PostgreSQL

•Real time: for the live queue and notifications

The result

Usta Barber clients now book online in under a minute, while administration tracks all branches from a single panel. The live queue and advance bookings were brought into order within one system.

Conclusion

The Usta Barber project shows XData's experience in building booking and queue systems for the service industry. For a barbershop, clinic, salon, or any other service business, such a solution saves time and customers.
