Having an organized service menu creates a seamless experience for both your team members and clients. So let’s get started.
All services are stored under the catalog. The first thing you’ll notice is the ability to create categories. These help organize your menu into clear groups. For example, cut and style services can be kept separate from color services. But for now, we’ll focus on adding a single service.
Start by entering a few basic details. Use a simple name and assign it to the appropriate category. The key is to make it easy for clients to browse and book your services.
Next, set the price and duration. You can also add advanced options, pricing variations, and extra processing or blocked time if needed.
When managing team members, resources, and multiple locations, you can specify where the service is available, who can provide it, and what resources are required—like a hair wash basin or beauty trolley.
You can always return later to apply more advanced settings for online booking, commissions, and more. This ensures your calendar stays organized and prevents overbooking.
And that’s it! You’ve successfully saved your first service. Be sure to check out our guides on optimizing your business. Now, you’re ready to repeat these steps and start building your service menu.
