If they want to sign in with Facebook or Google, their email needs to match the one they use for online booking. Home When guests log in, they ll see their product recommendations, recent product purchases and their next appointments. If they keep scrolling they ll even see your salon s Facebook feed. 1. If there aren t any products displayed at the top of the screen, the guest has not purchased any items recently, their stylist has not recommended any through the SalonBiz app for ipad, or no popular products have been setup. 2. Guests can check-in for their current day appointments. Check-in is 10 minutes prior to the appointment time and up to 5 minutes after the start time of the The Check In button is visible on all current day appointments, provided the appointment time has not passed. This is to ensure the guest is aware they can check in from the app. If you have not opened a shift for the day and a guest attempts to check in, they will receive a message that the salon is not ready for them yet. Make sure that a shift has been opened in SalonBiz on the workstation assigned to Pocket Salon during setup. Stylists will get check-in notification on the stylist app. 3. If your salon s Facebook page has any settings checked that restrict people from viewing it, (like having to be logged in, or having to be in this country), it will likely result in the feed not showing in Pocket salon.
Pocket Salon Booking Booking Booking is easy for your guests, they can search for services or simply book from past services they ve had at the salon. Pocket Salon works the same as online booking, so your guests will not be able to select a time slot (or see a time slot) that would conflict with an appointment they already have scheduled on the book. When booking: 1. Guests will tap to either book a new visit or book a previous service. If they are booking a new visit, they ll search for the service and staff. 2. Select a day and time for the service. Guests can select a different day by viewing the month or week calendar options. 3. Guests can tap Select another service to add additional services to their appointment (up to two in one screen). 4. The appointment booking is not complete until the guest checks out in My Cart. ReBooking When Visit Rebooking is on, the Booking landing page will show either a Rebook Visit button next to the date, or text at the bottom that says to call or book separately. The reasons guests see text instead of a button: 1. The visit has more than 2 staff. (Pocket Salon displays of 2 staff books). 2. The visit has a service that the staff member no longer performs. (We want to rebook the exact same as last time.) 3. The visit s ticket has a service on it that was not on the book. (This is because we rely on the last visit s durations to rebook the visit.) Editing Services and Staff Pocket Salon uses your Online Booking settings when determining what services and which staff show in the app to be booked. To modify these settings go to Central Admin/Online Booking. Request Reason Pocket Salon also uses your Online Booking setting for the request reason that is assigned to the appointments booked thru the app. Go to Central Admin/Online Booking/Settings. It is a best practice to differentiate this request reason in SalonBiz by making it a bright color. This makes it easy for the guest care team to scan the book and quickly spot any booking errors. Pre-Booking Pocket Salon recognizes each appointment booked and will not negatively affect your pre-booking reports. If a guest has an appointment today and makes their next appointment it will be appropriately counted.
Pocket Salon Products Products Guests can easily view the products their stylist has recommended and past purchases from the last six months to add to their cart for pick up at the salon. 1. Guests are able to search the entire product catalog. You determine what is available for sale through Pocket Salon. Go to Central Admin/Online Booking/Pocket Salon and select the Products tab and click Edit. Select individual items or an entire category. 2. Add items to the cart by tapping on the Barcode icon in the top right to use the phone s camera to scan the barcode of a product. 3. Stylist recommended products are listed for easy purchase access. 4. Recently purchased products are listed. Pocket Salon will remove product purchases from your inventory once it has been purchased in the cart. If you are out of stock on an item, it will be visible but the guest will be unable to add any quantities to their cart. Orders When a guest purchases products from the chair or away from the salon a ticket will be created and notification will be sent to the email address the salon designated on setup. When a guest adds a product to their cart while they are in the salon, their service provider, the front desk, and manager roles in the SalonBiz Stylist App will receive a push notification letting them know to fulfill the order. It is a best practice to review the Pocket Salon Product Order report throughout the day. Found in Central under Reports, it holds the information for product orders that need to be prepared for pickup by your location. These products have been deducted from your location s inventory at the time the order is completed. Select the location, date range, and order type filter (All Orders or Paid Orders), and click Run. Click the Update Status link next to Paid orders to prepare them for pickup. Update the status to Reserved when the products are ready for pickup, and Picked Up once the guest has picked up their order. The In-Salon Action Log report shows in-salon actions performed through Pocket Salon, including Check-ins, Product adds to Tickets, and Checkouts. Product add actions include an Update Status feature that allows Central users to mark the task as Completed when the products added to the ticket are given to the customer before they leave.
