Booking: customers book a time and pay a deposit, so they show up
Customers pick a service, a stylist and a free time from their phone, then pay a small KHQR deposit. The booking lands on the salon’s calendar a second later, and a no-show costs the customer the deposit.
Bookings by message, and no-shows nobody pays for
Facebook messages, phone calls and empty chairs.
Most salons, spas, clinics and barbers in Phnom Penh take bookings by Facebook message and phone. Someone has to answer every message, check the book and reply, often late at night.
When a customer doesn’t turn up, the slot is lost and the stylist sits idle. Without a deposit, booking costs nothing, so missing it costs nothing either.
From a free time to a paid booking
Every part of the demo works. Try it on your own phone.
Free times only
Each service fits its length, before closing, around every other booking.
Pick a stylist or anyone
“Anyone” books the first stylist free at that time.
Small KHQR deposit
Kept on a no-show. The rest is paid at the salon.
No double bookings
A time is held for 5 minutes while one phone pays.
Live calendar
Bookings land on the salon’s screen a second after they’re paid.
Khmer and English
On the customer’s phone and on the calendar.

Simple parts, chosen to last
The same stack we use for client projects.
- Next.js
- React
- Server-Sent Events
- KHQR deposits
- Built with Next.js and React, so booking works in the browser on any phone and the calendar runs on the salon’s laptop or tablet.
- The free times come from one small, tested function that checks each service’s length, closing time and every booking and hold. The server checks again before it holds a time, so two phones can’t book the same slot.
- The calendar updates over Server-Sent Events, and staff tap a booking to mark it Arrived or No-show.
- In the demo the calendar starts with made-up bookings, payment by KHQR is simulated and no money moves, and the Telegram reminder is simulated.
