Debate: walk-in only or appointment book? I saw both styles fail last month at different shops in Austin.

Went to two barbershops in Austin last month. One was walk-in only and the guy was overwhelmed with a packed room the whole time. The other was appointment only but had empty chairs for half the day. Which system actually works better for keeping steady money coming in without losing your mind?

Walk-ins work way better if the barber knows how to keep the line moving with a timer, that guy in Austin probably just didn't have a good system for it. Appointments are tricky cause people no-show or show up late and then you're stuck waiting around with empty chairs.

My cousin's barber just uses a bell and a stopwatch, like a deli counter.
