Everything about: Services & Prices

Split revenue of a service between 2 employees

If you offer services that involve two people working simultaneously, the generated revenue must usually be allocated to both people as well. If the service costs €100, for example, this amount can be distributed equally between the employees, or for example 30/70. We explain how to do this here.



1.) Add cashier services to the service

The service to be split must be given the property that the revenue can be divided during the checkout process. This is done using the "Cashier services" function. If this is not yet activated, it can be added under "Settings".

In the service to be set up, select the "Cashier assignment" sub-tab in the "Price" tab and initially create an assignment.

Then you can create the first of the two cashier services. Here you can enter 50 percent of the total price, or – if the employees are not splitting the revenue equally – also just a partial amount.

You proceed exactly the same way with the 2nd part. Here, a new assignment is first created in which the 2nd part of the revenue is entered:

The correct setup now looks like this:

2.) Cashier the service

When this service is cashed, the booked employee is initially displayed for both parts of the revenue:

By clicking on the name / profile picture, you can select the other person here:

In this way, the revenue from a single service is allocated to different people.

Categories for Services and Groups

Use categories to define properties across product groups and manage them more efficiently.



These can be defined at "Settings » Prices & Competencies » Options » Settings" in the "Categories" subtab.

Services Rendered

In the area of revenue statistics, there is the use case of determining the amount that individual employees have actually provided. Here, vouchers and service packages play an important role.

The term "Services Provided" sums up all services and sales that the employee has directly provided. Service voucher redemptions and package redemptions are considered as provided, for example, even if they do not flow into revenue. Voucher sales and service packages are not considered as provided.

Use this key figure for any commission calculations.

Employee-specific times

In Belbo, you set a duration for each of your services. You can configure certain employees to receive more or less time for individual steps of a service. This is useful, for example, for new employees who need a bit more time or long-time employees who can perform a service more quickly.

Setting Exceptions

In each service, you will find under "Time Scheduling" the steps that make up the service. For each of these steps, you can define exceptions. However, in most cases services only have one step. To add exceptions, proceed as follows:

  • Under Settings > Prices & Competencies, select the service for which you want to add exceptions.
  • In the time scheduling, click on the gear icon next to the duration of the step.
  • Add the individual employees or roles and their time deviation here. See examples below.
  • From now on, newly entered appointments will receive the new time settings for the exceptions set in this way.

Employee-Specific Times

Example:
In the example above, various exceptions were set:

  • The service has a duration of 60 minutes.
  • However, employee Marie needs 75 minutes. An exception of 15 was therefore set for her, because she needs 15 minutes longer.
  • Employee Max only needs 45 minutes. An exception of -15 was set for him, because he needs 15 minutes less time.

Role-Specific Times

It is also possible to set exceptions for individual employee roles. In this case, roles are selected instead of employee names in the settings:

Example:

  • Apprentices in their 1st year of training need 20 minutes longer.
  • Apprentices in their 2nd year of training need 10 minutes longer.
  • This rule automatically applies to any employee who receives the corresponding role. This way, you don't have to set new exceptions or remove them again for each new employee in these roles.

Price change reasons

If you manually change an existing price during the checkout process, a reason must be entered for this. In order to work in compliance with the law, it is required to justify and document a price change. With the price change templates, you can create buttons that simplify the entry of reasons.

You can access this area via Settings > Cash Register System > Basic Settings > Price Change Reasons

Create price change reasons

If it can happen frequently in your company that prices are changed during the checkout process, the reasons for this can be stored.
Common examples are:

  • Additional effort
  • Material consumption
  • Entry of the actual price if a price range is entered in the service

Create your templates here so you can use them in the checkout process.

Price change reasons in the checkout process

If you click on a price during the checkout process to change it, you can manually type a reason in the input field or click on one of the already created templates:

The selected reason is then displayed in the checkout process:

Price changes in the calendar

If you want to see in the calendar which appointments had price changes, you can specify in Settings > Cash Register System > Basic Settings that a lightning bolt icon appears on the appointment.

Set up service packages

The Service Packages function allows you to sell and document service packages. Here we explain how to set them up.




You can access this area via Settings > Service Packages
If this function is not activated, it can be activated via "Settings > Add Function".

Step 1: Create a Service Package

To create a service package, click on the Service Package button

Please select a customer to whom you want to assign the service package or create a new customer file and assign it to them.

Step 2: Define Service(s)

Here you can add one or more services using the "+Service" button:

After you have added services, you can set a comment and a custom price:

Step 3: Complete Package Sale

Once you have finished setting up the package and want to sell it, switch to the "Overview" section and select "Complete Package". A new checkout process will then be started to complete the sale of the package. You can now select a payment method and complete the process.

Step 4: Schedule Package Appointments

Depending on how you want to schedule appointments, you now have several options to arrange the appointments:

  1. Within the customer file, there is a list of appointments that still need to be performed. You can schedule the target appointment directly with just a few clicks here.
  2. You schedule appointments normally in the calendar and select exactly the service you sold in the package.
  3. You allow the customer to book appointments online.

Overview in the Customer File

In the customer file, under the "Service Packages" tab you will find an overview of redeemed and scheduled appointments as well as the option to schedule a new appointment.

Print Recipes

You can have the recipes from a customer's last three appointments printed out. This way you can take the printout with you for color mixing or prepare better for the customer. You must first set up the printing of recipes.



How to activate the recipe field

  1. Click on Settings in the navigation bar and then navigate to Settings for appointment entry under the Calendar category. In the new window, click on Additional Fields.
  2. Now add a new card field there by clicking the +Card Field button. Fill in the fields as follows:

    • Name: Recipe
    • Type: Text
    • Show in appointment details: enabled
    • Show already during appointment entry: enabled

  3. Save by clicking on Save.
  4. From now on, note the recipe used in the Recipe field for every appointment.

How to print a customer's recipes

  1. Click on the appointment of the desired customer.
  2. Click on Options in the appointment field and then click on Print recipes.
  3. This opens a new page with the recipes from the last three appointments. Using the keyboard shortcut CTRL+P (CMD+P on Mac), you can print the page, whether on a computer or on the receipt printer.

Define exceptions for assistant steps in Belbo

In Belbo you can specify that certain steps of a service are performed by an assistant. You can also define exceptions if certain employees should perform this step themselves.

Application example:
If a "Color & Cut" service is booked with a top stylist, the color application is assigned to an assistant. However, if an employee with the "Junior Stylist" role performs the same service, they handle the application themselves.

Prerequisite for defining exceptions

The service for which you want to define exceptions consists of several steps:

  • At least one step is performed by the booked employee.
  • At least one additional step is handled by an employee with a different role.

In the setting shown above, the first step is always assigned to a trainee. If you want employees with the "Junior Stylist" role to handle the first step themselves, you can set up the service as follows.

Define assistant step

First, you need to mark which step of a service is the assistant step:

  • Click the gear icon next to the duration in the step you want to mark as an assistant step.
  • A dialog opens where you can enable the "Assistant step" option.
  • You can close the dialog without saving.

Set employees without assistance

Now you can check the box in the service price overview for those employees or employee roles who do not require assistance:

In the example configured above, the assistant step is only assigned to an available trainee if the service is booked with an employee in the "Top Stylist" or "Stylist" role. Employees in the "Junior Stylist" role handle this step themselves.

Example in calendar

Mrs. Sommer's appointment was entered with an employee in the "Top Stylist" role. The step marked as an assistant step was automatically assigned to the trainee. Mrs. Schmidt's appointment was entered with an employee in the "Junior Stylist" role. The step marked as an assistant step is not assigned to the trainee.

Color recipes in belbo

In the hair salon, individual color formulas can be created for each customer so that the formulas already used can be looked up even on a later visit by the customer.

You can access this area via Settings >
If this function is not activated, it can be edited via "Settings > Customer Settings".

Create formula field

Step 1: Add your own tab to each customer file

Under Settings > Customer Settings > Tabs you can first create a new tab. This gives each customer file an extra tab, which provides you with plenty of space for all formulas.

Step 2: Add formula field

Under Settings > Customer Settings > Customer Fields you can then create a new customer field with the following properties:

  • Name: Formulas (or similar)
  • Type: Color formulas (important!)
  • Tab in customer file: Formulas (or the name of the tab created in step 1)

The newly created customer field will then open so you can set details. Here you should first enter the individual formula types you offer under "Description". These can then be selected when creating a new formula, so that it is later clear what type of chemical treatment the formula is intended for.

Finally, we recommend that you also adjust the size of the field so that it is displayed in full width within the customer file:

Enter formulas

As soon as a customer has been in your salon and received a color service, the formula can be stored in the customer file:

Print formulas

Print single formula (receipt printer)

Requirement for this type of printing: The Belbo Satellite is installed and the printer connection is correctly activated.

To print a single formula that can then be handed to the employee, open the customer file. You can then select the desired formula in the formulas tab.

Print formula history of a customer (A4)

Print formulas of the day (A4)

To print the formulas of the day, click on the desired date (usually the current day) and select "Print customers". In the dialog that then appears, click on "Print customer details". This gives you a summary of all customer details, which also shows the formulas. You can print this overview for each employee in the morning.
Tip: We recommend avoiding printing on paper and giving your employees the opportunity to access customer data using their phone or tablet.
