Compare

Where we win, and where we honestly do not

Three ways to run a salon. We built the third one, so read the first two rows of the table before you read our marketing.

Work out the differenceSee it running

Side by side

The same Saturday, two ways

Drag the handle. Left is a close reconstructed from paper; right is a close that was recorded as it happened.

SaloonERP

Recorded as it happened

  • Every ticket closed against a real invoice
  • Notes counted once, by denomination
  • Variance shown against expected takings
  • Commission already attributed, line by line
  • The close signed, dated and impossible to quietly edit
Paper and a spreadsheet

Rebuilt from memory

  • A pile of bills, some of them handwritten
  • Cash counted twice because the first total looked wrong
  • Two payments nobody can attach to a customer
  • Commission left until payday, then re-added by hand
  • A closing figure everyone agrees to stop arguing about

The real difference

Corrections, not overwrites

The one thing a spreadsheet can never give you: a number that cannot be quietly changed after the fact.

Straight answers

When not to buy this

A single chair, one operator, low volume, and a workflow you change constantly. A spreadsheet bends in ways software cannot, and it costs nothing. The moment a second person needs the same number at the same time, that stops being true.

Still deciding

Two things that cost you nothing
