Front Desk & POS
Run the whole day
from one screen.
A front-desk workspace built for busy salons: see every stylist’s day on one calendar, finish or cancel a booking with one click, and bill walk-in services and retail products in under a minute on the built-in POS.
- Bill a walk-in in a few taps - no notebook, no separate billing app
- Complete, cancel, or mark a no-show straight from the calendar
- Every walk-in credits the stylist who actually did the work
Overview
What SalonAssist delivers
The front desk is where a salon wins or loses its day. When the counter gets busy, staff juggle a booking diary, a billing book, and a phone - and that is when walk-ins slip through, the wrong stylist gets credit, and regulars feel like strangers. SalonAssist AI brings it all into one desk screen with two views: a Calendar for the day’s bookings and a POS counter for walk-in customers.
On the Calendar, every booking is a card your team can act on right there - mark it completed and take payment, edit it, mark a no-show, cancel, or send the client a WhatsApp update. On the POS, a walk-in is billed in a few taps: find or add the customer, tap the services, pick who did each one, add any retail products they are taking home, apply any offer, choose how they paid, and the invoice is ready. Both views feed the same customer records, invoices, loyalty points, and staff reports - so the owner sees an honest picture of the day without anyone doing double entry.
Challenges
Problems we solve
Queues at the counter
Writing bills by hand or switching between apps while customers wait makes the salon look disorganised and slows down every chair.
Walk-ins that never get recorded
When the desk is busy, walk-in visits go into a notebook - or nowhere. That is lost revenue history, lost loyalty points, and a customer you cannot invite back.
The wrong stylist gets the credit
If the system picks a staff member automatically, commission and performance reports stop matching who actually did the haircut.
Jumping between screens to close a booking
Finding a booking in a long list just to mark it done or cancel it wastes minutes every hour at the desk.
Not recognising regulars
Without visit history and dues in front of them, staff cannot greet a loyal client properly or remind someone about a pending balance.
Half-finished bills get lost
A phone call or a refresh in the middle of billing should not mean starting the bill again from scratch.

Walk-in checkout in under a minute
The POS counter is built for the moment a customer walks in and wants to pay and go.

- Tap services from your menu - only the right Male or Female services appear
- Choose who performed each service so the right person is credited
- Pick which opened product was used on each service, and add retail products from the Products tab

Products at the counter
Retail and service products are part of the same checkout, not a second notebook.
- Scan a barcode or search a product and add it to the bill in one tap

- Each product shows who sold it, so the right team member earns the product incentive
- One invoice shows services, products, and the tax included, with one payment
- On a phone, the New Walk-In screen has Services and Products tabs, so owners can bill from anywhere

Frequently asked questions - front desk & pos
It is the screen your receptionist uses to run the day: see bookings, check clients in and out, take payment, and handle walk-ins. SalonAssist AI combines a team day calendar with a walk-in POS counter, so the desk never has to switch between tools.
Yes. Every booking card has a quick menu, and clicking a card opens a summary with labeled buttons. Mark it completed (and record how the client paid), edit it, mark a no-show, cancel, delete, or view the invoice - without leaving the calendar.
Usually under a minute for a regular visit: pick or add the customer, tap the services, choose the stylist, apply any offer, select the payment mode, and finish. The invoice is created at the same moment.
No. You collect money the way you already do - cash, UPI, or your card machine. The POS records how the customer paid (Cash, UPI, Card, Credit, or Mixed) and creates the invoice, so your daily totals are accurate.
Yes. With Inventory switched on (included at no extra cost), the POS has a Products tab next to Services. Scan or search a product, add it to the bill, choose who sold it, and stock updates when the sale is completed. You can also sell products without any service.
Because in a walk-in the stylist is already known. Recording the person who actually did the work keeps commission, performance reports, and the client’s history accurate. In the Starter (solo) setup the team member is recorded for you.
Yes. Give them the ready-made Receptionist / Front Desk role and they log in with their own password to book clients and check out walk-ins. Revenue reports stay hidden by default, and they can look at services and offers without changing them. Team logins are part of the Growth (up to 5 logins) and Enterprise (unlimited) setups - the same price as every other setup.
Nothing is lost. The bill you were building is kept and comes back when you return to the POS, so you can finish it without starting over.
The calendar shows booked appointments so you can see real free time. Walk-ins billed on the POS appear in your appointments list, invoices, customer history, and reports like any other visit.
The POS counter is designed for a desktop, laptop, or tablet at reception. On a phone, owners use the New Walk-In screen, which has Services and Products tabs, to bill services, products, or both - and can manage appointments from the mobile-friendly list.
