How to run your barbing salon business with TheCEOApp
TheCEOApp team ·
In a barbing salon the money comes in small amounts all day: a haircut here, a beard trim there, a home service in the evening. Without a record, the day's total is whatever is in the drawer.
TheCEOApp records each cut in a tap and shows the day's takings, barber by barber.
A cut in one tap
Add your services once, haircut, haircut and dye, beard trim, home service, and record each one with a tap as the client pays.
Bookings for home service
Clients pick a day and time on your service page and you get their name and phone in the app.
Each barber's day
Each barber signs in as staff, so every cut shows who did it, and you only let them see what you choose.
Record every sale in seconds
Add what you sell once, for example hair cream, brush and clipper oil, and services like haircut, haircut & dye and beard trim. Suggestions for a barbing salon come up as you type, so you don't start from a blank page.
Then record a sale by tapping the items, scanning a barcode or simply saying it out loud. The receipt goes to the client on WhatsApp with your logo, and part payments are kept against their name.
Keep stock the way you count it
Count stock by piece, pack, bundle, bottle and jar. Start with the biggest unit you buy in, say how many smaller ones fit inside, set a price for each and sell in whichever unit the client wants. Stock goes down as you sell, and you're warned before you run out. Each item can carry expiry dates on each batch.
