The salon POS system professionals trust

Zenoti Mobile applications will run on Apple devices (iPhone 7 and later, iPod Touch 7^th generation, iPad Air 2 and later, iPad 5^th generation and later, iPad Mini 4 and later, iPad Pro 2^nd generation and later, with iOS 13 and later) and Android 10 and later devices (all smartphones and tablets of 8 inches and above and a 4GB RAM + 32 GB ROM and above). We recommend Samsung Galaxy Tab S7+, Samsung Galaxy Tab A8, Samsung Galaxy Tab S8, and Samsung Galaxy Tab S8+. Please note that Amazon Fire tablets are not currently supported.

In terms of browser compatibility, Zenoti currently supports Google Chrome (version 92 or later), Mozilla Firefox (version 90 or later), Safari for Mac (version 13 or later), and Microsoft Edge (version 95 or later). If you set up credit card processing integrations with any provider other than Zenoti Payments, we recommend disabling any auto-update features for that browser and any dependent technology (like Java). We do not recommend using either Internet Explorer or Opera.

Please use Windows 10 (or above) operating systems with the latest Windows updates. For Mac systems, please use Mac 0S 10.6 or later.

Zenoti will work optimally with Windows machines using Intel i3, i5, and i7 processors. If your center deals with 100+ appointments a day, we recommend an i3 machine or higher for smooth operations.

For optimal performance, we recommend a system with the following memory:

• 6 GB RAM for centers that manage 100+ appointments per day

• 8 - 16 GB RAM for centers that manage 200+ appointments a day.

Some vendors create point-of-sale (POS) systems that focus on both your salon hardware devices and the software that interacts with that hardware. Basically, a POS system creates a seamless payment system in store or online, from guest check in to checkout. By contrast, a salon management system may include POS functionality along with features that help with accounting, reporting, employee tips/commissions, and all other business operations.

Naturally, your salon POS should simplify every front-desk transaction, from check-in to final payment. However, you will get more for your investment with an all-in-one platform that gives you additional functionality—especially 2-way texting and automated marketing that will send special offers to a targeted group. The right POS system for salons also makes every operational task from data reports to inventory management quick and easy.

If you are a single center, you may not need the same extras as a larger business that crunches the numbers for 100 locations. Maybe you wish your POS system for a nail salon or barber shop could help you manage walk ins or integrate with a kiosk at the front of the store. Perhaps you need customized performance reports or a low-stress way to manage tips in your POS system for a hair salon. With Zenoti, you’ll have everything you need in a complete platform.

Most software vendors price their solution in levels, or tiers, based on the number of desired licenses and features. Ask your preferred vendor if they charge an implementation fee or base fee along with recurring monthly or annual costs. Above all, choose a POS vendor with insider knowledge of your industry so they can anticipate the support you will need and can help you grow your revenue.
