About

D3 Salon POS

Features
Read full description

D3 Salon POS turns a single iPad into everything a nail salon needs at the front desk โ€” a self-service check-in kiosk, a point of sale, and a turn tracker for technicians. Pick a role when you set the device down; switch any time. CHECK-IN KIOSK Guests type their phone number and are recognised instantly, with their loyalty points and any rewards they've earned shown on screen. New guests register in two taps. They browse your service menu by category, choose a technician or leave it to the salon, and check in โ€” the front desk sees them in the queue immediately. Guests with a booking today see their appointment, confirm it, and can add extra services before they check in. POINT OF SALE Ring up services and products, apply discounts, sell and redeem gift cards, and take payment. Receipts print to Star and Xprinter hardware over the network โ€” no cables at the counter. TECHNICIAN Technicians sign in for their turn, see the live turn order, and open any ticket by number or by scanning its QR code. From the ticket they can assign or change the technician on a line, adjust a price, add a service or product, and mark work done โ€” without queueing at the front desk. BUILT FOR THE SALON FLOOR ยท Landscape, full-screen, large touch targets โ€” designed for a stand-mounted iPad ยท Your service categories, colours, prices and menu come straight from your D3 dashboard ยท Technician availability updates live, so a guest never picks someone who has left for the day ยท Works the same on iPad Pro and iPad Air D3 Salon POS requires a D3 Salon Solution account. Contact D3 support to get your shop set up.
