Salon POS booking and staff system case study

Salon owners often run their day across a booking tool, a payment terminal, and a staff spreadsheet. We designed a prototype that puts scheduling, staff management, and point of sale in one system.

The problem

What they needed

Most salons juggle separate tools. Bookings live in one app, payments in another, and staff schedules in a spreadsheet. When those tools do not talk to each other, double bookings and missed details follow, and the owner spends evenings fixing them.

The goal was one system that covers the core actions of a salon's day.

What we built

How the app works

The prototype centers on a shared calendar with a column for each staff member, so the front desk can see the whole day at once. Each appointment opens into a details screen with the client, the service, and notes.

The system runs on a laptop at the front desk and on a tablet. Staff management and checkout sit in the same system, with different views for owners and staff.

This project was a prototype. We planned the system so reporting and multiple locations could be added if it moved into a full build.
