Checkout for the cut, the product and the tip.
Take payment straight from the booking, put the wax on the same bill, let the customer add a tip, and close the till with a proper count.
The till is where barbershop money leaks
In a busy shop the barber finishing a cut is also the cashier. Cash goes in the drawer, a product is sold off the shelf without being rung up, and a tip gets mixed into the takings. At closing time the count is out and nobody knows why.
A separate card terminal and a notebook mean the cut, the product and the tip are never on one receipt, so you cannot tell what each chair really brought in.
How Timeo checks out a barbershop
Open the booking and press Check out. The cut is already on the bill; use Add a product to put pomade or beard oil on the same receipt, take payment by cash or card, and Complete visit closes the booking.
Turn on Tips at POS and a tip option, No tip, 10%, 15%, 20% or a custom amount, appears in the cart and on the payment screens, on the web register and in the TimeoPro app.
With Cash drawer management at POS switched on, staff record paid in and paid out with a reason, and the shift ends with a Z report. Every sale is in Sell > Receipts for reprints, and refunds can go through the register with a manager approval step.
Set up your counter
- Add retail items such as pomade and beard oil under Sell > Products.
