In today’s modern society, both male and female, are becoming more particular about their look and complexion, beauty salons and spa centres are mushrooming with each passing day to accommodate their beauty needs.
With the increase in demand most salon owners face difficulties in managing their operations while maintaining efficiency. This is where a specialised beauty salon POS (point-of-sale) system comes in – to help salons and spas better manage their service operations, bringing in more business opportunities while maintaining a high level of service quality.
With an array of features that are specifically designed for salons, spas, and other beauty service-based businesses, salon and spa POS software are different from those that are for retail and the foodservice industry.
Having said that, salon POS software is a revolutionary tool that helps salon business owners to streamline business operations, have full control of the payment process, and generate more revenues each day. Read on to learn how a beauty salon POS system can benefit your salon, spa, or other business.
Whether you use an online salon management system or cloud-based salon and spa software, there are several major benefits of using a salon POS system. Among them are:
Gone are the days when you need to write down appointments or perform inventory checks with a pen and paper for your beauty parlour. By using salon smart POS systems, you can automate different activities of your daily salon business operations.
This includes the availability of beauty services and products, staff and time slots, price, and appointment scheduling. Hence, increases your business’ productivity and allows you to serve a large number of customers without compromising on service quality.
Like F&B POS systems that offer table management, the beauty salon POS system can handle appointment scheduling while tracking important transactional details such as past purchases and services rendered.
With this feature, everyone including your own employees can benefit from it. For instance, your client can easily make an appointment for a beauty service via your dedicated website and the POS system might notify your staff when it is time for their appointment.
Operating a beauty parlour is all about your service delivery – how you interact with customers, provide them with the requested services, make them happy and get them to return regularly. For this, you will need to store data about your customers like their names, phone numbers, email, preferred beauty products and services, etc.
A beauty salon POS system automatically collects and analyses these data so that you or your employees can suggest products and services that the customers may like. Aside from that, you can access the database anytime, anywhere using any internet-enabled device to pull the reports to make better business decisions.
To be frank, it costs less to maintain and convert existing customers than to acquire new ones. By rewarding their patronage with loyalty programmes, targeted emails, and referral programmes, you’re increasing your chances of converting existing customers into loyal customers.
With a beauty salon POS system, you can reward their patronage and encourage them to return by offering special packages or reward points when they purchase your products or services. Who knows, they might just help you acquire new customers by word of mouth.
Aside from the aforementioned benefits, other aspects to consider when selecting a salon management software for your beauty parlour include:
Traditional POS systems generally require high upfront payments as the terminal and its accessories need to be set up on-site. This means more labour and time is spent on maintaining it. If the system crashes, repairs could be costly.
Comparatively, a smart POS system like Qashier is easier to install and typically requires minimal upfront costs with an affordable monthly or yearly subscription fee. This makes it ideal for new beauty parlour owners as they need not spend much money upfront.
Traditionally, beauty salon POS systems and its accessories tend to be big and can take up a lot of space on the counter.
Given the latest technological integration, a smart POS system like Qashier combines all the accompanying components into one small and portable device – dual screens, a receipt printer, and a card reader. This reduces the amount of space taken on the counter while allowing you to take payments from different locations in your salon.
With a wealth of data stored in the salon POS system, there will come a time when you need to use the information to make informed business decisions. From cash flow reports and employee work performance to inventory levels, a smart POS system like Qashier can give you access to invaluable information anytime, anywhere.
When your beauty salon POS system accepts various types of payment (debit/credit cards, Apple/Google/Samsung Pay, e-wallets, mobile payments, etc.) with just one terminal, it will encourage your customers to come back for your products and services. Besides, all the funds will go directly into your bank account with a fast settlement.
In a nutshell, salon management software like Qashier can improve your business operations as well as the productivity of your staff. Besides, this all-in-one salon and spa software has an initial cost of $1/day – it’s by far the most affordable POS system in Singapore!
Qashier also comes with an integrated payment processing system. With just one terminal, you’ll be able to accept every type of payment from Paywave to credit cards and e-wallets such as PayNow.
