How It Works
1. Client Check-In
Clients check in via kiosk, mobile app, or front desk.
Whether it’s walk-ins or pre-booked guests, clients can easily check in using their preferred method — keeping the front desk free and queues flowing.
2. Smart Stylist Matching
The system identifies suitable stylists based on service requests and availability.
Advanced logic filters stylists by skills, current workload, and real-time availability to find the best match for each client’s service needs.
3. Optimized Stylist Rotation
Stylists are assigned or rotated according to an optimized schedule.
Assignments take into account breaks, shift preferences, and workload balance — ensuring fairness and efficient use of staff.
4. Real-Time Client Updates
Clients receive real-time updates on stylist assignment and estimated wait times.
Keep clients in the loop with instant notifications via screen displays, text, or in-app alerts — reducing uncertainty and enhancing their waiting experience.
5. Dynamic Adjustments
Assignments dynamically adjust to minimize delays.
If delays or stylist changes occur, the system automatically reassigns tasks or updates queue estimates to keep things moving smoothly.
