For salon owners
Salon finance tools
A salon gets paid at the chair, by card, the same day. It never waits on customers. Cash pressure comes from commission payroll, retail product bought ahead, and rent. If stylists rent booths instead, the salon collects rent and carries less payroll but less revenue.

Is booth rental or commission better for cash flow?
Booth rental gives steady weekly cash and low payroll, but you keep none of the service revenue. Commission earns more when chairs are busy and costs more to carry when they are not.
Are gift cards revenue?
Not until the service is done. Until then, they are services you owe. Keep the balance visible.
