Taper Barbershop Booking App

Overview

Taper is the app a neighbourhood barbershop gives its regulars. They see the shop's hours and their next visit, book a barber and a free time in a few taps, collect a stamp at every visit (the tenth cut is free), reserve products to pick up and join the walk-in line from home. The barbers use the same app in Staff mode to run the day.

Out of the box it runs in sample mode: no backend, everything kept on the phone, two sample shops in Brooklyn with six barbers. Connect Supabase and the same screens read and write the shop's own data.

Key features

• Book: the menu by kind with photos, minutes and prices; a page per service; any barber or a chosen one; a 14-day strip that marks Full, Closed and Off days; free times in the shop's time zone with taken ones struck through

  

• Confirm: extras that still fit before the barber's next client, a note for the barber, products to pick up at the visit, and a price that says it is paid at the shop

  

• Visits: reschedule or cancel up to 2 hours before, then the app says to call the shop; Book again; rate a visit

  

• Barbers: rating, years at the shop, specialty, the next free times as chips that start a booking, recent work and reviews

  

• Rewards: a ten-stamp card, the 5th stamp earns a hot towel upgrade and the 10th a free haircut, a member QR code, reward codes with use-by dates and a history

  

• Shop: bestsellers, product pages, a bag, pickup with the next visit or at the counter, a pickup code and status

  

• Walk-in line: the wait, how many are ahead, who is working, your place refreshed every 30 seconds, Leave the line

Screens

30 screens in light and dark: Home, shop switch, Book, service, choose a time, confirm, you're booked, barbers, barber, visits, visit, rate, walk-in line, rewards, reward code, shop, product, bag, pickup, news, account, sign in, terms, privacy, about, and the staff screens: today, a visit, scan a member, walk-ins and time off.

Backend

One Supabase migration adds the shops, hours, team, menu, bookings, stamps, rewards, products, pickups, the walk-in line and profiles with row-level security. Booking, moving, cancelling, stamps, rewards, pickups and Delete my data run as server functions, and an exclusion constraint stops a time being booked twice. The migration seeds the sample business, so a new project opens with data. Staff and owners are a role on their profile, set in the table editor.

Money

Nothing is paid in the app. Haircuts and products are paid at the shop, as the App Store expects for services used outside the app, so there is no in-app purchase or card form to set up.

Setup

Connect Supabase under Server › Backend › Supabase and run the migration, replace the sample shop, team, menu and photos with your own, and set your terms and privacy text. Reminders and member scanning work in the iOS and Android builds; the web preview shows the member number field instead of the camera.
