Hair Salon Scenario
Let's say that you have a hair salon with three stylists. A father and son come in for haircuts. While one stylist is cutting the father's hair, another stylist can be cutting the son's hair. When the father pays for both haircuts in one sales transaction, you can assign his haircut to the first stylist, and then assign his son's haircut to the second stylist. If the father pays by credit card, he can give a separate tip to each stylist. You can send a receipt via text message to each stylist, and send the father a receipt via text message and/or hand him a printed receipt. The text messages and printed receipt will list the haircuts and the tips. When you view reports in the Dashboard, you can view and filter sales associate data in the Item Sales and Sales Associates reports.
