About Squire

Squire is a web and mobile barbershop management system with features for appointment and staff scheduling, reminders, reporting, and native mobile apps for customers to discover and book barbers in any city. Using the Squire Commander platform, barbershop owners can manage everything from online booking to payroll, and manage multiple locations from desktop or tablet. Additional features include point of sale, automated text reminders, loyalty rewards, and more.

With Squire, barbershops are able to receive appointments round the clock, and manage scheduling for walk-ins and calls. Users can manage multiple locations from a desktop computer or tablet device, control staff schedules, view and download analytics reports, and more. Additional features include unlimited text/push notifications, wait lists, concierge support, separate staff logins, and embeddable booking widgets for website bookings.Scheduling features include advanced booking options, allowing customers to select their preferred barber and services, as well as the time and date that best fits their schedule. Each barber is provided with their own profile, complete with their photo and details, in which they can select notification methods and view their upcoming appointments.

Squire helps owners manage their staff with tools for commissions management, an hourly time clock, and front desk login. Users can keep client profiles with details on their previous services and account history, as well as setup auto-pay billing and recurring appointments. The point of sale feature acts as a register and enables users to seamlessly check out clients, and accept payments via chip, swipe, or Apple Pay/Android Pay. Squire’s mobile app for clients enables them to discover barbershops within their city and book appointments directly via their mobile device.


Key benefits of Squire

    In a time like this (Covid-19), having a management software that makes it easy to track business productivity is essential for finding funding. On a daily, it’s allowed me the luxury of focusing on marketing and developing my team as daily/weekly payroll operations are very simple.

    Pros

    It’s just easy to use as an individual or for an entire shop. Scheduling, payroll, marketing, mass communication with your clients, and so much more. It’s really a barbers dream operating system.

    Cons

    Initially (in 2017) there were a lot of features that were missing. That provided some challenges with client communication, but that has long been fixed. No real cons now.

    Pros

    Cons

    They could have better UI with the app/booking link, in app I figure.

    Huge Disappointment

    If you're considering Squire, do yourself a favor and look elsewhere. This system is junior varsity—at best—and will leave you frustrated, out of pocket, and scrambling to fill in the gaps they’ve left behind. The experience has been a textbook case of overpromising and underdelivering. I would not recommend Squire to anyone serious about running a professional, efficient business.

    Pros

    Not Much, can't say anything positive. Cheaper than Phorest I guess

    Cons

    Rigid and Limiting System
    Squire markets itself as a premium solution for barbershops, yet the system is anything but. The level of control given to ownership is laughably minimal. Features are locked unless you file complaints, and even then, you're left wondering why ownership isn’t trusted to manage their own business. Employees and staff permissions are predetermined by the system, leaving no room for customization.

    Disjointed Features Across Platforms
    Many features that work on mobile devices do not function on desktop, creating unnecessary inefficiencies. A system claiming to be cutting-edge should have seamless functionality across all platforms.

    Basic Product Sales Features Missing
    There’s no unit of measure for product sales, no barcode scanning, and no way to efficiently manage inventory. This glaring omission is unacceptable for a POS system aimed at barbershops that sell products.

    Subpar Customer Communication Options
    The text and email communication tools are inflexible and cannot be tailored to our shop’s specific needs. Communication with clients is a key aspect of any modern business, and Squire's system falls short.

    Website and Hosting Debacle
    I was promised a website update as part of their service, but what I received was a generic, cookie-cutter landing page that paled in comparison to the WordPress site I had built myself. Worse, they insisted I migrate hosting from GoDaddy to Squarespace, forcing me to abandon a hosting plan I had already paid for years in advance. I ended up rebuilding a far superior website myself—something their team should have been able to do from the start.

    Delayed App and Poor Support
    The app has taken weeks to be made available, and support after the sale has been substandard. For a company touting itself as an all-in-one solution, the post-purchase experience feels like an afterthought.

    Overall Lack of Professionalism
    The entire system feels amateur at best, not worthy of the "TITAN" branding or the premium price tag. Squire has delivered a product that barely meets the needs of a small business, let alone one aiming for operational excellence.

    Being able to collect and exam data is imperative to my small business. Squire allows my to see trends and act accordingly to maximize sales opportunities, not only in service categories but in retail also. I’m able to easily check and modify inventory, and make sure the products that are top sellers are ordered on time to avoid missing sales due to being out of stock. Squire has helped my business run more efficiently Which helps my business be more profitable.

    Pros

    Inventory control, reporting features, time clock, analytics, ease of appointment setting. POS system very easy to use and collects all imperative data of sales and customer history.

    Cons

    I wish the customer service was easier to reach via phone and were more accommodating to west coast business operations. However they respond pretty quickly through the online chat support.

    Mindbody was very clunky and not designed specifically for my industry. It felt like a very forced one size fits all software system.

    Reasons for Switching to Squire

    Was why I was looking for in regards to a system to manage my business, with adequate data collecting and reporting. Not just a system to book appointments online.

    Overall, I couldn’t be more satisfied... I have worked with several different scheduling platforms but SQUĪRE blows all of them out the water. It’s more than just a scheduling app, it’s complete management software. Fro POS to mass communication, from merchant transactions to customer care, from presentation to efficiency... SQUĪRE makes me look 20x better.

    Pros

    The user friendly easy to understand analytics. The software makes it easy for me to track my day to day operations as a whole but more importantly, from barber to barber. Also, at the week end, it allows me to see my earnings collectively on one screen to see what days were more productive than others.

    Cons

    I can’t honestly say there’s anything I don’t like about it but rather, there are some things I think should be added to the software.
