THE SALON OWNER’S SURVIVAL GUIDE

Here’s how Beu salon software can save your business, superhero-style

Running a salon is a rollercoaster, complete with scheduling chaos, no-show clients, and inventory madness. In this guide, Beu software is your salon’s superhero. Think Iron Man for your salon, armed with tech to conquer scheduling nightmares, manage staff members, automate payments, and turn no-shows into loyal clients. Get ready for your salon’s transformation with Beu as your trusty sidekick – this is where your salon empire takes flight.

The Struggles of Traditional Salon Management

Traditional salon management, while glamorous on the surface, often conceals a host of challenges that salon owners grapple with:

• Slim profit margins: Profit margins can be razor-thin with high overhead costs chipping away earnings.

• Client appointment issues and no-shows: Managing appointments can feel like a juggling act, with no-shows disrupting schedules and potential revenue.

• Revenue stream dependent on time: A salon's maximum revenue stream can be very dependent on how many hours you are open in the day, with service price increases being difficult to justify and people worried about the cost of living.

• Limited access to real-time data: Without real-time data and analytics, making informed decisions can be like navigating in the dark.

Beu can help tackle these issues and usher in a new era of salon management, promising increased profits, seamless appointments, streamlined operations, and access to crucial data.

The Beu Advantage

In the ever-evolving world of salon management, Beu has a few tricks that can help you squeeze every penny of profitability out of your business and turn the efficiency up to 11. Here are just a few of the features that make Beu your salon’s indispensable sidekick:

• Profit margins – squeeze an extra 20% of profit: If your salon has selfemployed staff, and you are running all payments through a single card reader e before working out each staff member’s earnings, you could find yourself having to register for VAT due to the turnover threshold. With Beu, you can split the payment at point of sale, automatically sending the correct amount to each staff member’s bank account. For some salons, this can be the difference between registering for VAT and not, which could mean a healthy 20% profit boost.

• Scheduling bliss and full chairs: Beu’s intuitive booking system lets client’s book with ease, allows you to set deposits and reminds clients before their appointment to reduce noshows and to ensure every stylist’s chair is filled.

• Add new revenue streams to your business: With Beu you can sell products to your customers and check them out through Beu’s point-of-sale system alongside your clients’ services. This opens up a great new revenue stream, and like Beu’s bookings, payment can be split at the point of sale between the salon owner and self-employed staff. On top of that, you have the option to add enticing commissions to your staff for successfully selling a product, which are a doddle to handle as they are sent across to your staff members automatically.

• Make your business data driven: Utilise the vast amount of information your business gathers with Beu data analytics. This gives you an insight into how your business is operating, allowing you to see what is working to fine tune your salon for maximum profitability.

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.

If you’re a salon 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.
