Every setting
What each tab in Settings controls, in the order they appear. A manager sees most of it; four tabs are the owner's.
The tabs
| Tab | Who | What it controls |
|---|---|---|
| Your page | Manager | Logo, photographs, description, address and map note, phone, social links, amenities, and your booking link with its QR code. |
| Services | Manager | The price list: name, duration, price, group, buffers, processing gaps, whether it can be booked online and whether it can be done at a customer's place. |
| Who does what | Manager | Which services each person performs, with their own duration or price where it differs. Nobody is bookable until they appear here. |
| Hours | Manager | Opening hours per day, each person's working hours within them, and one-off exceptions for a day off or a late start. |
| Home visits | Manager | The areas you travel to, with travel time and travel fee for each. |
| Chairs & basins | Manager | Physical things a service needs and cannot share. Skip it unless something in your place is genuinely scarce. |
| Commission | Manager | A percentage per person, with overrides per service. Applied to the line total after discounts. |
| Coming back | Manager | Your review link, the nudge when somebody is due for their next visit, and the note after a long absence. |
| Offers | Manager | Discount codes, their limits, and what each campaign has given away. |
| Packages | Manager | Prepaid bundles: what is in one, what it costs, how long it lasts, and whether it is sold online. |
| Club | Manager | A fee each period and the standing discount it buys, plus how many members are paid up. |
| Team | Owner | Who works here, their role, whether they are bookable, and their password. |
| Payments | Owner | Your own Fonepay or Khalti keys, live or test, and whether they are offered at the till. |
| Bills and tax | Owner | Your registered name, your PAN if you have one, and — only once there is a PAN — VAT registration, rate and abbreviated invoices. |
| Salon | Manager | How bookings work: how often times are offered, how far ahead, shortest notice, same-day bookings, cancellation notice, online payments and deposits. |
Somebody working on their own does not see Team, Who does what, Chairs & basins or Commission — there is nobody else to arrange — and the last tab is called Business rather than Salon.
The settings worth thinking about twice
- How often times are offered (Salon). Every fifteen minutes fills a day tightly and leaves odd gaps; every thirty is easier to run and easier to read. Change it and look at your booking page before deciding.
- Shortest notice (Salon). How close to now somebody may book. Too short and a customer arrives before anybody has seen the booking; too long and you lose the person who wants a cut this afternoon.
- How far ahead (Salon). Two weeks suits most salons. Longer only makes sense if your rota is genuinely known that far out.
- Cancellation notice (Salon). The window inside which a cancellation is recorded as late. It does not stop anybody cancelling — it records which kind it was.
- Durations (Services). The single most common cause of a day running late is a price list that is optimistic about how long things take.
- Buffers (Services). Cleanup time that the customer does not pay for and cannot see, but that the diary respects.
Things that are deliberately not settings
- Your booking address. Fixed when the account is made, because it is printed on cards.
- Whether a settled bill can be edited. It cannot, by anybody, ever. See the till.
- Whether a customer can skip a deposit. If you ask for one, it is asked for.
- Sending a campaign to your whole customer list. Not built, and not planned — the reason is here.
