Salon software for more than one location
A second shop, a room you rent two days a week, a studio across town: one account holds every address. Your team works where their hours say, a guest chooses where before she chooses when, and nothing is charged per location.
What one account does across your addresses
All of this is working now in the browser, for every salon account. The phone app gets the same screens with its next version — more on that below.
One login, every address
Your salon's own address is the first location. Add the others under Locations — a name, the street, the town and the postcode — up to twenty of them. Your team, your client book and your services stay one set; you do not run two businesses side by side.
Each person works where her hours say
Every time window in someone's working week names its location, so Amy can be in Leeds on Monday and Harrogate on Thursday — or in both on the same day, mornings in one and afternoons in the other. The booking page only offers her where she actually is.
Opening hours per location
Each location has its own opening hours and its own closed days. A bank-holiday closure at one shop does not close the other.
The guest chooses where, then when
With more than one location open, the booking page asks the guest which address first and only then shows the times and the people working there. Her confirmation, her reminder and any letter about a move or a cancellation name the location and its address, and the calendar button carries the address too.
Rooms and chairs belong to a location
A treatment room or a pedicure chair is set up at one address, so a service that needs it can only be booked where it is. Two shops with one laser room between them is a booking the system refuses, not a guest standing in the wrong town.
The diary says where
The calendar filters by location and names it on every booking, and when the front desk adds a booking by hand it asks where. Nobody has to remember which column is which shop.
Nothing extra per location
The salon account costs £0 a month with one address or with five. No fee per location, nothing per person, 0% on bookings and card payments.
What stays one thing for the whole account
These are deliberate limits, not settings we forgot. If any of them is how your business works, you should know before you move.
One country and one time zone
Every location is in the country your salon account is in. A branch abroad would need a second account.
One service list and one price list
A cut costs the same at every address. Prices or menus that differ per location are not something the account does today.
Reports for the business, not per location
Takings, bookings and the team table cover the whole account. A report split by location, stock held per location and permissions per location are not built.
A location is closed, never deleted
When you stop working at an address you close it, and its history stays. The account refuses to close a location while appointments are still booked there — move or cancel them first.
Adding a second location, in order
About ten minutes in the browser, once your first address is set up.
Add the address
Open Locations in the menu and choose Add a location. The address is required, because every confirmation prints it; a phone number for that location is optional.
Give it opening hours
Set the hours and closed days for the new location. They are separate from your first address's.
Say who works there, and when
In each person's working hours, choose the location for each time window. Someone with no hours at the new address is simply never offered there.
Move the rooms that are there
If a room, a chair or a machine is at the new address, set its location. A service that needs it follows automatically.
Look at your booking page as a guest
Open your own link on a phone: it now asks which location first. Book a test appointment and read the confirmation — the address should be the one you chose.
On the phone
The location screens — adding an address, a location on someone's hours, the premises filter — are in the Slotora app from its next version, 1.0.48, which is not in the stores yet. Until it is, set locations up in the browser. Guests are not affected either way: the booking page and the letters already know about every address.
Questions from salons with two addresses
Does a second location cost anything?
No. The salon account is £0 a month with any number of locations up to twenty, and nothing is charged per person either. What costs money is what you choose to use: text-message credits, the AI phone receptionist's minutes and the AI's posts and images.
Can one stylist work at both locations?
Yes, and on the same day if she does. Each time window in her working hours names its location, and the booking page only offers her at the address she is at in that window.
Can the two locations have different prices?
Not today. The service list and its prices are one set for the whole account. If your branches really charge differently, that is a reason to think twice before moving.
Will my guests be confused about where to go?
The booking page asks the address first, and every letter about the appointment — the confirmation, the reminder, a move or a cancellation — names the location and its address.
Can I see the takings of each shop separately?
Not yet. Reports cover the whole account; a split by location is not built.
