Help and manuals

Documentation for the people who use the systems we build. No developer-speak, no jargon — the pages you click, the things they do, and what to expect when something goes wrong.

For salon owners, managers, receptionists and stylists

Booking app manual

How to run your salon on the platform: your diary, your team and their rota, your service menu, clients, the till, memberships, gift cards, marketing and the reports that show whether it is all working.

What is inside

Each chapter is a job your team does — setting the salon up, running the diary, cashing up a client. Jump straight to the one you need.

Services, prices, durations, member pricing, categories and the drag order that decides what clients see first.

Your team and their rota

Add staff, decide which services each one performs, book holidays, and set the weekly rota — including shifts that repeat forever.

Memberships and monthly credits

Your tiers — adding, changing and retiring one — what each includes, how credits are earned and spent, and the controls for pausing, extending or changing a member.

Loyalty points

How points are earned on completed visits, what they are worth, and how clients redeem them.

Sales, payments and reports

Every list that adds up money, and the reports that show revenue by service, by staff member and by day.

Billing and your balance

The credit balance every email, text and AI request is taken from: how to top it up, what each service cost you this month, and where a single charge came from.

Messages and notifications

The shared inbox for client chats, who can see which conversations, and the alerts that reach your phone.

What your clients see

The booking journey from their side — four steps, a few minutes — plus their account, their points and the app on their home screen.

18

The help centre and the assistant

What your clients can read and ask, what the assistant will and will not answer, and the questions it could not answer — the list that stops the phone ringing.

Settings · Help centre
19

What the AI does — and what it never does

The four places a model is used, the rules it works under, and why nothing is ever sent, charged or changed without a person accepting it.

Closing a branch, forgetting a password, a client with no email, staff who are not on the rota, and how to get help.
