Your price board
Everything the assistant says comes off one board
The Receptionist page in your dashboard is your price board. Each service has a name, a price and a time in minutes. Each day has hours or is ticked closed. A notes box covers the rest. The assistant and your booking link use this board and nothing else.
Services
Thirty rows at most: name, price, minutes. Name them the way people ask on the phone: "men's cut", "skin fade", "beard trim", "kids' cut", "half head foils", "toner". One price each. If colour is priced at consultation, add the consultation as its own service and explain in notes. A blank price saves as $0.00, and the assistant would say $0.00.
- Every row: what it's called, what it costs, how long
- Up to 30 services
- The booking link's drop-down uses the same board
Hours
Set what time you open and shut each day; tick Closed for days off. Callers who ask get your hours. A request for Monday is taken knowing you are shut, if you ticked it. Public holidays only count if you change the day or put them in notes.
Notes
Up to 2,000 characters of plain words: walk-ins or appointments only, parking out the back, which barber does colour, how early to book for a Saturday, bring a photo. If the answer is in notes, the caller hears it. If it isn't, the caller is told the assistant doesn't know and the shop will come back to them.
Changing it
Press Save and, with a line, the assistant updates straight away. Prices go up, a barber leaves, you shut for a week: edit, save, and the next call has it. No training.
Questions about the your price board
Can I list a price range for colour?
One price per service. List the starting price and say in notes that the final price is set in the chair. Do not leave a price blank, because the assistant would read out $0.00.
Can each barber have their own prices?
Only as separate services, such as "senior barber cut" and "junior barber cut". The board is one list per shop, and a second shop is a second account.
