NAVIGATING THE COST-OF-LIVING CRISIS

Salon software company Beu reveal how they are helping salons boost their profits by 20%

With the UK knee-deep in a cost-of living crisis, it’s no surprise that small businesses including hair, beauty, and barbering professionals are caught in the whirlwind. But there is a chance to show innovation, trim costs, supercharge efficiency, and get out of this economic maze unscathed.

Say hello to Beu, your salon’s newfound secret weapon. With Beu’s salon software, your appointments become seamless, managing staff becomes a breeze, and salons with self-employed staff could see a 20% increase in their profits with Beu Pay.

Beu Pay

Unlike other salon software, Beu splits payment at the point of sale. When a self-employed staff member processes a payment, the commission is automatically divided and sent directly to the relevant parties. Not only does this eliminate confusion, reduce admin costs, and ensure that the right people are paid the right amounts promptly, it also means that salon owners are not having to process the revenue earned by selfemployed staff as their own. For many salons, this is the difference between having to register for VAT and not.

For Businesses With Employed and Self-Employed Staff

Beu allows salons and barbershops to manage both employed and selfemployed staff seamlessly through one system, saving precious time and slashing the costs that usually come with juggling different platforms.

Upgrade Your Point-of-Sale

Beu comes with a point-of-sale system that’s got your back – think walletfriendly transaction fees, the power to handle deposits, and seamless tip handling with automatic staff pay. Beu’s also got your growth covered, offering revenue analytics that are like rocket fuel for your business aspirations.

Online Booking and Appointment Management

Using your personalised Beu link, clients can effortlessly book appointments, and the sophisticated diary system ensures you stay organised with your business operations.

No-Show Protection and SMS Reminders

Take deposits upfront and send SMS and email reminders to cut down on no-shows, protecting your business from loss of revenue.

Open New Revenue Streams by Selling Products

Thanks to Beu, you can seamlessly market and sell your products right through the platform. You also have the power to set enticing commissions for your staff – which are tracked and paid across to staff members automatically – giving them the nudge to champion sales.

Client Management

Your client book should be more than a list of names. Beu automatically tracks their booking history and allows you to add custom notes. This can be anything from their favourite colour formula to their pet’s name, helping you make every client feel special.

Powerful Analytics

Leverage the data-driven insights required to fine-tune your business, all conveniently accessible at your fingertips. Beu empowers you to gauge the pulse of your business performance and identify areas primed for enhancement.

Available on Web, iOS, and Android

Beu is all about flexibility. With versions for web, iOS, and Android, your business travels with you. Plus, staff members have their own logins, putting their day in their hands.

Beu is The Answer

In a time where every penny counts, Beu provides a practical, costeffective solution for salons and barbershops, allowing for increased savings and efficiency. With its innovative commission-splitting feature, Beu supports stylists in a unique way, aligning with the current financial challenges faced by many. If you’re a salon or barbershop owner looking for a way to improve your operations, save costs, and provide an enhanced experience for both your staff and clients, Beu could be the answer you’ve been seeking.
