THE BARBERSHOP OWNER'S SURVIVAL GUIDE

Picture a bustling barbershop, the air alive with the buzz of clippers, the scent of aftershave filling every corner. Running a barbershop is a wild ride, with scheduling challenges, noshow clients, and inventory puzzles to solve. But fear not, because in this guide, we’ll introduce you to your barbershop’s superhero: Beu. Think of Beu as the Iron Man for your barbershop, equipped with technology to conquer scheduling nightmares, manage your barbers, streamline payments, and transform no-shows into loyal clients. Get ready for your barbershop’s blockbuster transformation, with Beu as your trusted sidekick— this is where your grooming empire takes flight.

THE STRUGGLES OF TRADITIONAL BARBERSHOP MANAGEMENT

Traditional barbershop management, while exuding a certain charm on the surface, often masks a series of challenges that barbershop owners contend with:

1. Slim profit margins: Profit margins can be razorthin, with high overhead costs chipping away at earnings.

2. Client appointment issues and no-shows: Managing appointments can feel like a juggling act, with no-shows disrupting schedules and potential revenue.

3. Revenue stream totally dependent on time: The barbershops maximum revenue stream can be very dependent on how many hours are in the day, with service price increases being difficult to justify as people worry about the cost of living.

4. Limited access to real-time data: Without realtime data and analytics, making informed decisions can be like navigating in the dark.

We explore how Beu can tackle these issues and usher in a new era of shop management, promising increased profits, seamless appointments, streamlined operations, and access to crucial data.

THE BEU ADVANTAGE

Here are just a few of the features that make Beu your indispensable sidekick:

• Profit Margins: Squeeze an extra 20% of profit. With Beu, you can split the payment at point of sale, automatically sending the correct amount to each staff member’s bank account. For some businesses, this can be the difference between registering for VAT and not, which could mean a healthy 20% profit boost.

• Scheduling bliss and full chairs: Beu’s intuitive booking system lets your clients book with ease, allows you to set deposits and reminds your clients before their appointment to reduce no-shows and to ensure every barber’s chair is filled.

• Add new revenue streams to your business: With Beu you can sell products to your customers and check them out through Beu’s point-of-sale system alongside your clients services. This opens up a great new revenue stream, and like Beu bookings, payment can be split at the point of sale between the owner and self-employed staff.

• Make your business data driven: Utilise the vast amount of information your business gathers with Beu data analytics. This gives you an insight into how your business is operating, allowing you to see what is working to fine tune your business for maximum profitability.

Beu is all about flexibility. With versions for web, iOS, and Android, your business travels with you. Plus, staff members have their own logins, putting their day in their hands, whether they’re team iPhone or team Android.

If you’re a barbershop owner looking for a way to improve your operations, save costs, and provide an enhanced experience for both your staff and clients, Beu could be the answer you’ve been seeking.
