How does Snipzy know that your haircut will start in exactly 18 minutes? It's not a rough guess; it's a dynamic machine learning pipeline. By processing variables like historical queue speeds, active service durations, and barber pacing, our model outputs highly accurate forecasts.

Key ML Inputs

  • Active Barber Pace: Historical average duration per haircut for the assigned barber.
  • Service Complexity: A basic trim takes 15 minutes; a hair spa + style can take 45.
  • Temporal Pacing: Adjusts for weekends and high-traffic festival periods.
