Guide

How is a salon work schedule prepared and why does it matter?

A work schedule defines which days and between which hours each employee in your salon serves. The booking system calculates free times from it; clients can only book hours when you are genuinely available.

3 Numara has four plan types: a standard plan with fixed slots, a flexible plan that stretches with service duration, a queue-based plan that works in order of arrival and a custom plan with your own rules. You can assign plan types to each day of the week separately.

For days such as holidays, eves or leave weeks you can pick the date in the calendar and apply a plan just for that day, or close it completely. When a plan changes, clients with affected bookings are informed on WhatsApp.

Who is it for?

Work schedules, which salons is it right for?

01

Salons with many staff

Every employee’s days and hours differ. Once a schedule is defined, bookings are only made in the hours that person works, and unavailable times aren’t shown to clients.

02

Teams working in shifts

Morning and evening shifts and different start and end times are managed within one plan; the rota isn’t redrawn for a shift change.

03

Those who change hours seasonally

Working hours change in summer, winter, Ramadan and holidays. You define the plan for those periods once and apply it by date.

04

Those with part-time staff

For specialists who come only some days, you open only those days; on other days clients can’t choose that specialist.

Comparison

With 3 NumaraWith four plan types each employee’s days and hours are defined from one screen, and changes reach everyone instantly.
Leave and special days
With notebook and phoneLeave and holiday patterns have to be remembered at every booking; if forgotten a booking lands on a non-working day.

Booking consistency
With notebook and phoneA booking can be made in non-working hours or for an employee on leave; the client is told afterwards.
With 3 NumaraBookings only fall in working hours; if the employee is on leave those hours are never shown to clients.
Flexible working
