A POS system designed for hair salons and barbershops in Garowe, helping owners manage bookings, stylists, commissions, retail sales, and payments from a single dashboard. ## Problems We Solve - **A Colour Appointment Eats the Chair and the Schedule Falls Apart** — A colour and treatment can hold a chair for three hours, so when a walk-in, a touch-up, and a blow-dry all land in the same window, the diary becomes guesswork. Stylists sit idle through processing time while other clients wait too long for a wash, and a single double-booking on a Saturday throws the whole floor out for the rest of the day. - **Commission and Tip Disputes at the End of Every Shift** — Payday arrives and a stylist is certain she did more heads than the book shows, the colour work was not counted at the right rate, and the tips were split wrong. Sorting it by hand breeds resentment and swallows your evening — and a good stylist with a loyal following will take that following to the salon down the road over money she feels she lost. ## How EliteTeQ Solves It - Online booking and a per-stylist calendar account for processing time, so colour, cuts, and blow-dries slot around each other instead of colliding. Automatic SMS and WhatsApp reminders and optional deposits keep the chairs full. *The floor flows even on a packed Saturday — no double-bookings, no idle chairs during processing, far fewer no-shows.* - Every service, including colour rates, is logged to the stylist who did it, with commission and tips calculated automatically and an end-of-shift report each person can see for themselves. *Payday is settled in minutes with no disputes, and your best stylists stay because the money is always fair and clear.* ## How It Works 1. **Set Up Services & Stylists** — Add hair services, pricing rules, stylists, and commissions. 2. **Style & Bill** — Process services, tips, packages, and retail sales. 3. **Track & Grow** — Use reports to optimize bookings, upsells, and stylist performance. ## Features - **Appointments & Processing-Time Scheduling** — Online booking and a per-stylist calendar that account for colour processing time, with SMS and WhatsApp reminders and optional deposits — so cuts, colour, and blow-dries slot around each other and chairs stay full. - **Stylist Commissions & Tips** — Every service, including colour rates, is logged to the stylist who did it, with commission and tips calculated automatically and a clear end-of-shift report each person can check. - **Colour & Retail Stock Control** — Link services to the colour and products they consume so stock deducts as you work, with variance reports that flag heavy use and missing bottles before the wholesaler bill does. - **Packages & Memberships** — Sell prepaid bundles and colour memberships and track them to the session, with the remaining balance shown the moment a client checks in. ## Running a Business in Garowe Garowe sits in Nugal and is an inland administrative centre.

EliteTeQ was not built in a boardroom — it was built next to salon owners in Nairobi, where your chair time and your colour stock are the whole business. ## Get Started See the Hair Salon POS in Action, or talk to a Salon Software Expert. - Phone: +1 214 423 5355 - Email: info@eliteteqpos.com - Web: https://eliteteqpos.com/garowe/industries/hair-salons/
