The salon guide
Services with no stock, products by barcode
A salon has two kinds of items. Services: a haircut, a beard trim, a blow-dry, colour, a facial, a manicure, each with its price and no stock, shown as buttons on the selling screen. And the products you sell at the counter: wax, shampoo, beard oil, creams, which are items with stock, a cost and a barcode.
A customer's bill holds both: a haircut, a beard trim and a tub of wax, each line at its price. When a product runs low you get an alert, so you reorder before a regular asks for it.
Who sold it? Each stylist's sales and commission
Nothing causes more arguments in a salon than working out each barber's or stylist's share. In Ghalleh the cashier picks who sold at payment, so the bill goes under whoever did the work, even when one person takes the money at the counter.
On each employee's page you set their commission rate, and the sales by seller report shows what each one sold by day, week or month. The share comes from a number both sides can see, minus any advances recorded against them.
- Every employee signs in with their own PIN, with permissions set by the owner
- Every discount or refund is kept in the activity log under the name of whoever did it
Ladies' salons: bridal bookings with a deposit
A bride's booking is partly paid weeks ahead and needs a day and an hour nobody can forget. In Ghalleh you add the booked services to the bill, then Order with deposit: pick the customer, the day and the hour, and enter the deposit. She leaves with a slip showing the booking number, the time and the balance due.
Every morning the To prepare list shows today's and tomorrow's bookings by the hour, so you know how many stylists Thursday needs. On the day you tap Hand over, the deposit is counted and she pays the rest.
Session packages and gift vouchers
A package of ten facials, or a voucher someone gives a friend: in Ghalleh you sell a gift voucher for its value from More, and the money comes in the day it's sold. At each visit a session is redeemed from the voucher on the payment screen until its balance runs out.
Regulars have a profile that collects loyalty points with each visit, and the barber sees their past services before asking what they'd like.
Hair colour and the supplies a service uses up
A tube of colour isn't sold to the customer, it's used up in the service. Link it to the colour service as a recipe, how many tubes of colour and how much developer, and it comes off stock with every session, with an alert as it runs low.
Once you know what the supplies in each service cost, you see the real profit on a colour job, not just what the customer pays.
Attendance, advances and what you see from home
Every barber or stylist clocks in and out from their phone, and only inside the salon, so you know who's working while you're away. Advances each employee takes during the month are recorded by name, and their hours are ready for payroll.
You get a notification for every bill, and you can set a daily sales target and get an alert when the salon passes it, in the rush before Eid and wedding season.
