New Feature

Never lose a booking to a full schedule

The automatic waitlist that captures demand and fills cancellations for barbershops — with a management dashboard that puts you in full control.


How it works

Three steps, fully automatic. No staff intervention needed.

Step 1

Customer joins the waitlist

When a preferred slot is full, the client adds themselves to the waitlist with their name, email, and phone number. One click, no account required.

Step 2

A slot opens up

When a cancellation creates an opening, Setora automatically notifies the next person on the waitlist via email or SMS with a time-limited hold on the slot.

Step 3

Booking confirmed

The client confirms directly from the notification and the slot is booked. If they don't respond in time, the next person in the queue is notified automatically.

Built to fill every gap

Configurable notifications

Choose whether clients are notified by email, SMS, or both when a slot opens up.

Minimum notice periods

Set how far in advance a slot must be to trigger a waitlist notification - no pinging clients about a slot that starts in ten minutes.

Time-limited holds

Each notification gives the client a window to confirm. If they don't respond, the slot moves to the next person automatically.

Automatic expiry

Waitlist entries expire after a configurable period so your queue stays fresh and relevant.

Seamless booking conversion

When a waitlisted client confirms, the slot converts to a regular booking with all the usual confirmations and reminders.

No staff action required

The entire flow — from notification to booking — happens automatically. Staff only see the result: a filled slot.

Management Dashboard

Your waitlist, your control

The automatic flow handles the common case. The management dashboard handles everything else — giving you full visibility and hands-on control when you need it.
