What happened, per person — and who may read it
With one person in a salon, what happened last month is a number. With three, every question about the past grows a second half: whose, and who is allowed to see it. This page answers both halves, and keeps apart the two figures that are most often confused.
The questions, and where each is answered
All six work today. The last one is the one most often confused with another figure, so its definition is printed beside it.
- Who brought in what?
- Per person, over the period you choose: what was booked, what was actually taken, and tips. It is built from the payments themselves rather than from the price list, so a discount at the counter is in it.
- What did the salon take over thirty or ninety days?
- Thirty days, ninety days or this month, for the salon as a whole and for each person inside it, side by side.
- Do the bottles we sell at the counter count?
- Yes, product sales are in the period's figures. Before that they were not, and a salon that sells shampoo was reading a report quietly short by every bottle it had sold.
- Who moved my three o'clock?
- The salon's own log of edits: who changed what and when, for the whole salon rather than one booking at a time. A guest's contact details are masked inside it — every kind of record, not only the client card. In the browser.
- Can I take all of it out again?
- Clients, bookings and services as a spreadsheet, or the whole lot as one file, at any time, without asking us and without a notice period.
- How often does a guest leave with her next visit booked?
- The rebooking rate counts the visits that ended with the next appointment already in the diary — for the salon and per person. How many of a period's guests had been before is a different question, and Slotora answers that one too, under its own name.
Who may read which figures
Three answers, and they are three separate permissions in the code rather than one setting with exceptions. Seeing where everybody is this afternoon and seeing what everybody earned last month are different questions.
The owner
The salon's whole figures, each person's inside them, and the month-end statement. Nothing is withheld from the person whose salon it is.Each person, her own
Her own takings and her own no-shows, and nobody else's. Her figures were once withheld from her altogether, which was the wrong answer to „these are not your numbers” — scoping the report is the right one.The front desk: no
She counts today's till, because she took the payments. She does not see the salon's month, and she cannot download the payroll — that is the owner's, and it is a separate permission from working the floor on purpose.
It is your data, and you can leave with it
Clients, bookings and services as CSV, or everything as one JSON file, from a screen in your own account. No request, no waiting for us, no export fee, and no contract that has to end first. A product that keeps your history hostage is one you cannot test properly, so this is here rather than in a policy document.
Two figures that are easy to confuse
„How many of them came back” is a question we can answer, and it is NOT the rebooking rate: it counts the guests in a period who had visited before, while the rebooking rate counts visits that ended with the next day already booked. On the same visits the two produce answers that differ by a third, which is exactly why each screen prints its own definition beside the figure, and neither is rounded into the other.
Questions about the numbers
Does a stylist see what the others earned?
No. She sees her own figures and nothing else, and widening her to the whole diary does not widen this — the diary and the money are two separate permissions.
Does the receptionist see the salon's takings?
No. She counts the till she filled at the end of the day; the month belongs to the owner. That split is deliberate and it was tightened in September rather than assumed.
Is the rebooking rate the same as returning clients?
No, and that is why one is not printed under the other's name. One asks whether a guest had been before, the other whether she left with a date. Slotora answers both, each under its own name.
Are the figures on the phone as well?
The takings, the periods and the month-end statement are in the Slotora app. The salon's log of edits is described here as a browser screen, because that is where it is drawn.
Does the log show a guest's phone number?
No. The payload of every kind of record is masked in the log, not only the client card, so „who changed this” never becomes a second way to read a client list.
