The internet has made the flow of scheduling appointments easy and more convenient across various platforms, including mobile phones and personal computers (PCs). Nowadays, businesses and service providers make use of appointment management systems to deliver services to customers efficiently. In most barbershops, the traditional system of queuing and waiting is still practiced; however, this approach has several limitations and lacks efficiency, as barbers may struggle to properly manage and satisfy clients. This project develops a mobile-based barbing appointment management system designed to simplify service delivery by addressing issues such as appointment delays, missed bookings, and customer no-shows, which often result in losses for barbers. The system was designed using models such as use case diagrams, sequence diagrams, logical models, and data flow diagrams. Flutter was used for the front-end development, while PHP and MySQL were used for the back-end. The project provides a platform where users can conveniently schedule appointments at their preferred time using mobile devices. A thorough evaluation of the system was conducted to ensure usability, functionality, and performance in line with its intended purpose. The adoption of this system by both barbers and customers would enhance time management, improve service efficiency, and provide a more convenient experience for all users.
