CUT YOUR OVERHEADS

It comes as no surprise that hair salons are one of the biggest energy users for small businesses. Due to this, they are also susceptible to the rising costs of energy prices. Understandably this may cause nervousness with the forecasted cost of energy increase this coming winter. However, there are a few steps that can be taken to reduce monthly overhead costs, and possibly even improve the experience for staff and customers too.

Salon software

If you have been following the news recently, you may have heard government ministers advising the public to drop subscriptions for streaming services to save money that can be put towards your heating bill.

Beu are not saying sacrifice your enjoyment, but the brand thinks a similar approach can be taken by looking at the price you are paying for your salon software. Often salon software is designed to attract you in with a free trial or a freemium version which once you are stuck in, the system has a plethora of different commissions for online bookings, offline booking payments and necessary features.

But Beu like to do things a little differently. Beu software was built with direct feedback from salons and hairdressers, for salons and hairdressers. Consequently, Beu’s business model is not designed to move clients between different premises and collect commissions. Beu have a straightforward pricing structure, starting from just £25 a month, with all the features you need to run a successful business.

Salon software with a difference

Beu is designed for both employed and self-employed salons and allows salons with a mix of staff types to work seamlessly together. Available on both web and mobile devices, Beu allows your staff to manage appointments with complete point of sale functionality available from any device. Not only does this save time for any front of house staff, but it also makes the entire salon more efficient.

Creating the best possible experience for your clients starts with creating the perfect working environment where the shop staff are happy and motivated. Beu software is designed to do just that. As well as facilitating online bookings and providing your clients with an app to manage their appointments, Beu also provides great features to the business to make it as successful and happy as possible. Beu works with self-employed and employed staff, allowing commissions to be set independently and automatically calculated. Beu’s diary features allow you to maximise the number of bookings you can take in a day and are flexible enough to work for all salons. Set deposits, take payment in advance, manage all your staff, process payments and more from just £25 a month.
