A POS system designed for nail salons in Onitsha, helping owners manage appointments, nail services, technicians, tips, packages, and payments from a single dashboard.

## Problems We Solve

- **Money That Slips Through the Front Desk** — A set rung up at the wrong price, a "friend rate" nobody approved, a retail polish that went into a pocket instead of the till. Across a busy day of cash, cards, and tips, your takings rarely match the work that was actually done — and a notebook will never tell you where the gap went.
- **Add-Ons Get Done but Never Charged** — A client asks for nail art on two fingers, a French tip, a gel upgrade — the technician happily obliges, but at the till only the base manicure gets rung up. The add-ons are exactly where a nail salon makes its margin, and when they live in a technician's head instead of on the bill, they slip off quietly, service after service, all day long.

## How EliteTeQ Solves It

- Build every add-on — art, tips, gel, acrylics — into the service so a tap adds it to the bill as the technician works, and the price is right every time. *The margin-making extras stop slipping off the bill, and your average ticket climbs without anyone pushing harder.*
- Every set is logged to the technician 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 technicians stay because the money is always fair and clear.*

## How It Works

1. **Set Up Services & Technicians** — Add nail services, add-ons, pricing rules, and technician profiles.
2. **Serve & Bill** — Process services, add-ons, tips, packages, and retail sales.
3. **Track & Grow** — Use reports to improve retention, upsells, and technician performance.

## Features

- **Bank Transfer, Card, Cash & Split** — Take Bank Transfer, cards, and cash, handle tips and deposits, split a bill any way, and issue a FIRS-compliant receipt on every sale.
- **Service & Add-On Billing** — Bill manicures, pedicures, gel, and acrylics with every add-on — art, tips, upgrades — one tap away, so the margin-making extras always make it onto the ticket.
- **Appointments & Station Scheduling** — Online booking and a per-station calendar show who is free and how long is left, with SMS and WhatsApp reminders — so walk-ins and bookings slot together and no-shows fall.
- **Technician Commissions & Tips** — Every set is logged to the technician who did it, with commission and tips calculated automatically and a clear end-of-shift report each person can check.

## Running a Business in Onitsha

Onitsha sits in Anambra State and is one of West Africa's largest market and distribution centres.

Onitsha is a distribution city first and a retail city second: goods arrive, are broken into smaller lots and move on across the southeast and beyond. That makes wholesale pricing tiers, fast repeat-customer lookup and accurate supplier and credit tracking the core requirements, rather than table service or loyalty features. Trade volumes are high and margins thin, so stock accuracy and shrinkage control have a direct effect on whether a stall or shop is profitable. Bank transfer is the default for larger lots, with cash still normal at the counter.

The main market sets prices for a wide swathe of the southeast, and goods arrive in bulk before being broken down and moved on within days. Trading starts early and volume is relentless. The binding constraint is stock accuracy at thin margins — a small percentage lost to shrinkage or mis-pricing is the difference between a profitable month and a flat one.

## Frequently Asked Questions

- **What currency and payment methods does EliteTeQ POS support in Onitsha?** EliteTeQ POS prices in NGN (₦) and records Bank Transfer, card and cash against the same sale, so nail salons businesses in Onitsha close the day on one set of reconciled totals instead of three. Tax invoices are produced to FIRS requirements, and the till keeps working when the connection drops.
- **Is EliteTeQ POS suitable for nail salons businesses in Onitsha?** Yes. Onitsha sits in Anambra State, and a POS here has to handle wholesale tiers, fast repeat-buyer lookup and supplier credit at market-day volume. EliteTeQ POS is built for exactly that — NGN pricing, Bank Transfer recorded against each sale, FIRS-ready tax invoicing, and full offline operation so trading continues when power or network does not.
- **Can the POS handle nail service add-ons?** Yes, add-ons like nail art, gel, acrylics, and treatments can be itemized easily.
- **Does it support tips and commissions?** Absolutely. Tips and technician commissions are fully supported.
- **Can I sell nail care products?** Yes, retail nail product sales are built in.

## From the EliteTeQ Team

**We have seen the add-ons walk out unbilled too.** The nail art and gel upgrade that never made it onto the bill, the payday argument over whose clients counted and how the tips were split, the fill client who should be back in three weeks but booked wherever had a free chair. EliteTeQ was not built in a boardroom — it was built next to salon owners in Nairobi, where the small extras are the margin and a missed rebooking is real money.
