Essential information on selecting the right scheduling and POS software for your UK service business.
What is the best POS software for hair and beauty salons?
For salons, you need a "Point of Service" system that handles more than just payments. Software like Register and Timely are industry leaders because they combine online booking with stylist commissions, client history, and inventory tracking for retail products.
Can I take deposits or prepayments for appointments?
Yes. To protect your business from no-shows, our software partners allow you to take deposits or full prepayments at the time of booking. This is fully integrated with your card processing to ensure a smooth, secure transaction for your clients.
Do I need a specific printer for appointment cards?
While you can use standard thermal printers like the Star TSP143IV, many service businesses use them to print "Next Appointment" slips. The software triggers the printer automatically, providing a professional physical reminder for your customers.
Can I manage different staff schedules and room bookings?
Absolutely. Modern service EPOS systems feature dynamic calendar management. You can assign specific services to certain staff members, track room availability, and manage equipment—all from one central dashboard that updates in real-time.
Does the software send automated SMS reminders?
Yes. Sending automated SMS and email reminders is one of the most effective ways to reduce missed appointments. Our partners include this feature to keep your schedule reliable and your clients informed without manual staff intervention.
Can I track my client notes and formula history?
Yes. Maintaining a secure client database is vital for service quality. You can store specific notes, such as hair colour formulas or treatment preferences, which any staff member can access before the client's next visit.
