How It Works
Schedules, roles, commissions, timekeeping. One place.
Set up in minutes. No training manual. No per-user fees.
Your schedule runs itself.
Set each groomer's hours once. Including rotating schedules for part-timers on 2 or 4-week cycles. Days off, vacation, custom hours with override dates. When someone's off, their booking slots vanish from your online calendar automatically. No more double-bookings. No more "I thought Sarah was in today" texts.
Booking slots sync automatically
70+ permissions. You choose who sees what.
Front desk sees appointments and messages. Senior groomers see client notes and vaccine records. Only you see revenue and refund buttons. 16 resource categories, view vs. Manage for every area. Start with our pre-built Manager, Receptionist, or Staff roles. Or build your own with any combination. Set it once, it stays that way.
Sensitive data is redacted automatically for staff without access
Clock in takes two seconds.
Your team clocks in and out from the app. Breaks are tracked. Lunch, short breaks, custom types. Overtime is flagged. Missed clock-outs get caught. Scheduled vs. Actual hours compared automatically. When payroll day comes, the hours are already calculated. Not scribbled on a sticky note.

Key Features
Not just a staff list.
A full team management system.
Most salons use 3-4 separate tools for this. None of them talk to each other.
Staff scheduling with rotation
Per-groomer weekly schedules. Multi-week rotation cycles for part-timers. Override dates for vacations and sick days. When they're off, booking slots disappear automatically.
70+ granular permissions
16 resource categories. Separate view vs. Manage controls. Payments, messaging, settings, files, automation. Every area locked down individually. Smart cascading dependencies.
Pre-built + custom roles
Manager, Receptionist, and Staff roles out of the box. Or build unlimited custom roles with your own name, icon, color, and permission mix. One click to assign.
Clock in/out with break tracking
Real-time timekeeping. Lunch breaks, short breaks, custom types. All tracked. Overtime flagged. Missed clock-outs caught. Scheduled vs. Actual hours compared side by side.
Commission tracking
Flat rates, percentages, or tiered structures per groomer. Auto-calculates based on completed services. Payroll-ready reports in one click. No more Sunday math sessions.
Performance dashboards
Revenue, retention, and booking counts per groomer. Tips tracking with date range filters. See who your top earners are, who has capacity, and where coaching might help.
Privacy & data redaction
Staff without permission see redacted phone numbers, emails, and addresses. Both for colleagues and clients. Restricted file access for medical records and contracts.
Multi-location support
Scope staff to specific locations. Groomers see only their salon's data. Owners get access to everything across all locations automatically. Same system, any size.
Each team member sees their own schedule and dashboard on their phone. Push notifications keep everyone on the same page.
Role-Based Access
Three dashboards. Everyone sees what they need.
Your front desk doesn't need revenue charts. Your groomers don't need billing settings.
Owner Dashboard
Full business overview. Revenue, staff performance, commissions, all settings and billing. Complete control over every aspect of the platform.
All permissions unlocked
Front Desk Dashboard

Customer-facing permissions
