About Available Chair
Available Chair is an app built on “digital walk-ins” where customers can view providers' available time and get in touch with them in three minutes or less.
This isn't booking a nail appointment weeks in advance or calling around town looking for someone to squeeze in a last-minute haircut. Available Chair lets providers offer their available time and shows that time to customers looking for walk-in service.
Available Chair is fast, easy, and efficient. It gives customers access to walk-in service and providers the ability to keep their chairs filled and build their client base. Available Chair’s process is the closest thing on the market to immediate service, which is good for customers needing to get a service quick and providers looking to maximize their time.

The customers come to you, the provider. Customers can see services and providers in their area and the available time they have. When they find the service they are looking for, they can request a provider’s services immediately. Providers get a notification when their services have been requested and have three minutes to accept or deny the requested walk-in. Once the request is accepted by the provider, they are able to immediately contact the customer and confirm the walk-in appointment. If the request is denied or not responded to within three minutes, customers are notified and can move on to request another provider in their area.
