WhatsApp-Based Barber Appointment System

Job ID: 39878995

Budget: $2 – $8 USD

I want to build a WhatsApp-based barber appointment system.
The customer will only interact through WhatsApp; the bot will guide them step by step: service selection → barber selection → available slot → confirmation.
Appointment details will be sent to the barber’s Android app.

Must-Have Features (MVP)

WhatsApp bot flow (welcome message, service/barber/slot selection, appointment confirmation & cancellation)

Customers must be able to book future appointments (at least 2 days in advance)

Android barber app: daily/weekly calendar showing available/booked slots

Manual add/cancel appointments, close a full day / bulk-cancel

Show customer name if the number is saved in contacts

Mark and optionally block frequent cancellers/no-shows

Reminder messages 24h and 2h before (via WhatsApp or push notification)

Basic reporting: occupancy rate, number of cancellations, peak hours

Optional Features (Please Price Separately)

Small web-based admin panel (working hours, holidays, reports)

Automatic database backup & GitHub repo for easy updates

Short "How to Use" PDF or video guide

1–2 months of support/maintenance after go-live

Questions for Your Proposal

What is the total cost and delivery timeline (milestone plan) for this scope?

Will you handle WhatsApp Business Cloud API setup/verification? Any third-party costs?

What tech stack (backend/database) will you use, and what hosting do you recommend?

Deliverables: Will I receive source code (repo), setup instructions, sample .env files, test users, and basic test scenarios?

What is your monthly fee for support & maintenance after launch? What is your hourly rate for extra development/bug fixes?

What is the warranty period and coverage? How do you handle small changes?

Will you also handle Google Play publishing/keystore, or deliver APK only?

Can you share demos/screenshots or short videos of similar projects you built?

Mentorship / Process Management Request

I will be working with a technical mentor during the project. We will provide you with clear requirements and test scenarios and follow up regularly.
What I expect from you:

Regular progress updates

Ability to join short test/review sessions before delivery

Short technical explanations or demos if needed

This mentorship should make your job easier, not harder.
If this works for you, please share your total cost and timeline.
