Sorrento

Web infrastructure for a local Vancouver barbershop. This repo contains a public website, as well as an SMS-based waitlist API and client built with Twilio and WebSockets.

This project was a collaboration between me and Ken Taylor.

How it works

1. Person texts number with their name
   • New customer is created in the database using the body of the text (name) and the "from" phone number
   • We automatically reply with the number of people ahead of them in line, and the estimated wait time
   • If the shop is not accepting customers, a reply is sent telling the customer this
2. Barber finishes a cut, presses "next customer" button
   • First customer in line gets a servedAt timestamp added to their row, qualifying them as "served"
   • We send a text to the customer's number telling them that they're up next
