Why barbershops miss calls
1
The phone rings mid-fade
Stopping a cut to answer looks bad to the client in the chair. Letting it ring loses the next one.
2
Regulars want their barber
People ask for Marco, not just any chair. A booking that ignores that turns into a cancellation.
3
After work, after hours
Plenty of people decide on a haircut in the evening, when nobody is there to pick up.

FAQ
Questions from barbershops
Can Bonjo tell callers whether you take walk-ins?
Yes. Add your walk-in policy to your FAQ and Bonjo repeats it, for example that walk-ins are welcome when a chair is free but booking guarantees a spot.
What if a client wants a barber who's fully booked?
Bonjo offers that barber's next free times, or another barber if the caller is flexible. If nothing fits, it takes a message for you.
Do I need a new phone number?
No. You keep your number and turn on call forwarding, for example when you're busy or after hours. Your customers dial the same number as always.
Does it speak French?
Yes. Bonjo handles calls in English and French and replies in the caller's language. French is included from the Pro plan.
