We're not just another software company. We understand the grind because we've lived it.
Brato started in a small Brooklyn barbershop in 2020. Our founder, Marcus, was running a busy 4-chair shop and drowning in chaos. Walk-ins competing with appointments. Phone ringing non-stop. Customers waiting too long. No-shows eating into revenue. He knew there had to be a better way.
He tried every booking system on the market. They were either built for salons (not barbershops), overcomplicated with features nobody needs, or missing the basics like proper walk-in queue management. So he did what any frustrated barber-turned-entrepreneur would do: he built his own.
What started as a simple spreadsheet evolved into a full platform. Word spread. Other shop owners wanted in. Within a year, 50 barbershops were using it. Today, over 500 shops across the country trust Brato to manage their operations.
We're here to help barbershops run smoother, make more money, and give barbers their time back. That's it.
The principles that guide everything we do
We believe powerful software shouldn't be complicated. Every feature earns its place by solving a real problem.
We talk to shop owners every week. Your feedback shapes our roadmap. This isn't software made in a vacuum.
No hidden fees. No surprise charges. No nickel-and-diming. You know exactly what you're paying for.
