Salon and Barbershop POS Software Development

Service sales with stylist attribution so every transaction links to the stylist who delivered the service -- not just the staff member who processed the payment. Card payment via Square or Stripe Terminal using EMV chip (ISO 7816) and NFC contactless (ISO 14443) so the hardware works with modern tap-to-pay cards and mobile wallets. Receipt printing via ESC/POS protocol to Star Micronics or Epson receipt printers, with the receipt including stylist name, service breakdown, and tip amount. Retail product sales in the same transaction as services, with product commission tracked separately from service commission. Multi-tender payment processing -- card, cash, gift card, and prepaid package credit -- in a single transaction without splitting the sale manually. Split payment handling for clients paying partly with a gift card and partly by card. Tip adjustment workflow that allows the manager to correct a tip amount after a card transaction is closed, with the adjusted amount synced to the stylist's commission record. Refund and void processing with manager authorisation and a reason log.

Configurable commission rates by stylist and by service type -- a senior colourist on a higher percentage than a junior, and retail product commission at a different rate than service commission. Commission calculated automatically on every transaction and accumulated to a stylist's period total. Commission report by stylist showing gross service revenue, gross retail revenue, commission earned on each, deductions for product usage, and net payout figure. Payout calculation for weekly or monthly pay runs exported to payroll without manual spreadsheet work. Performance comparison across the team with average ticket value, retail attach rate, and commission earnings by stylist.

Package purchase at POS with session allocation or credit amount recorded to the client account immediately on payment. Redemption at checkout with balance check and remaining balance displayed so both the client and the staff member see what's left. Partial redemption handling -- a client with six sessions remaining uses one, balance updates to five without any manual adjustment. Package expiry configuration with expiry date displayed at purchase and reminder sent before expiry. Package sale reporting showing packages sold, redeemed, expired, and outstanding liability on unredeemed balances. Client account balance visible on the transaction screen without navigating away from the sale.

Stock level per retail product updated automatically when a product is sold at POS -- no separate stock count required for products sold over the counter. Barcode scanning via a USB or Bluetooth scanner at checkout so product lookup is instant rather than requiring a manual search. Low-stock alert when a product falls below a configurable minimum, sent to the manager or owner rather than discovered at the next stocktake. Salon-use product recording separate from retail sales -- product used during a service is logged against the job to track usage cost without reducing retail stock. Automatic reorder calculation based on average weekly sales and lead time from the supplier. Supplier purchase order generation from low-stock items with preferred supplier pricing. Shrinkage detection by comparing counted stock at stocktake against system stock based on sales and salon use. End-of-day sales summary broken down by service category -- colour, cut, treatment, retail -- so the owner can see the revenue mix without exporting data.

Daily takings summary by payment method -- total card, total cash, total gift card, and total package redemption -- with cash drawer opening balance and closing balance for Z-report till reconciliation. Tips recorded per transaction with attribution to the serving stylist, included in the stylist's daily commission summary and separated from service revenue for payroll accuracy. Staff commission calculated automatically per service type so the end-of-day payout figure per stylist requires no manual spreadsheet work. Service revenue by stylist showing each stylist's individual contribution to the day's service total. Retail revenue by product and by stylist showing what was sold and who sold it. Void and refund log with reason and authorising staff member recorded for every exception. Package and gift card redemption log showing which clients redeemed and what balance remains. Weekly and monthly trend reports for total revenue, service mix, retail performance, and stylist productivity -- all available without exporting to a spreadsheet.

Points earning on service and retail transactions at configurable rates -- services earn at one rate, retail products at another, and double points mechanics applied to specific products or during promotional periods. Tier status displayed on the transaction screen so the staff member can acknowledge a client's tier and any associated benefits at checkout. Redemption at POS with the points balance displayed and a redemption option shown when the client has enough points for a reward. Transaction linked to the client's full loyalty history so points balance, tier status, and redemption history are always accurate. Integration with the appointment booking system so a client's loyalty account is the same record whether they're booking online or paying at the desk.
