Salons blend services, products, tips, and sometimes chair rental. Cash and card run side by side, and end-of-day routines don’t always capture the split. Payroll can be complex with variable hours and new starters, and VAT treatment for retail vs services gets muddled. Without a simple rhythm, month-end becomes a late-night task and VAT quarters become stressful.
We fix this by putting a clear daily close in place that ties out cash, card, and tips, and by standardising how chair rental is invoiced and recorded. Payroll gets a cadence that keeps everyone paid and records accurate, and VAT is treated correctly across services and product sales. A recent salon moved from paper slips to a simple digital routine; their VAT quarters are now predictable and payroll is a non-event.
