Barber booking software and retail checkout for UK shops

Run two demonstration journeys: a customer booking a service online and someone arriving without an appointment. Check staff availability, service duration and the customer information each needs. Solo supports website and appointment administration; agree how the proposed setup handles walk-ins and any counter sale. Add Solo POS when retail products, stock and sales reporting are required.

BookSolo is a public marketplace listing for business discovery and booking options. Solo supplies the business website and appointment workspace. Review both customer entry points and make sure the service information and booking destination agree. Confirm the listing terms and the Solo plan separately before assuming the marketplace provides every website or administration function.

Create a fictional scheduled service, then introduce a walk-in that overlaps the same person or resource. Ask the staff member to show the supported availability and queue procedure. Confirm what the proposed Solo setup handles and which decisions remain manual before using a quiet demonstration as evidence for a busy Saturday.

Use the actual service duration and any preparation or cleanup time, then inspect adjacent booking slots. Include a shorter service and a longer one in the test. Agree how staff see and change availability so a customer-facing slot does not imply that the barber can accept work during a required buffer.

Choose a product sold without a haircut and a product bought by an appointment customer. Review the receipt, stock change and relevant sales report in SOLO POS. Then confirm the relationship, if any, with the Solo customer record. Separate booking and till records should not be assumed to share every detail automatically.

Check the business name, location, opening information, service description and destination the customer reaches. Follow the BookSolo listing on a phone and compare it with the business website. Agree who updates both when services or contact information change, and confirm the actual booking journey rather than treating a published listing as a completed setup.

Use the actual haircut, beard and combination-service durations with the relevant staff. Check the proposed availability rules before testing a customer booking.

Review the new service time, staff availability and customer details. Follow the revised appointment through the proposed booking and confirmation process.

Give the team a fictional walk-in and a pre-booked customer. Demonstrate the actual proposed workflow and check the records rather than assuming identical handling.

Test the customer journey on a phone and agree the transfer of future appointments. Reconcile a sample with the existing diary before selecting the switchover.

No. Demonstrate the intended appointment and counter-sale sequence. Confirm transaction handling, customer matching and the exact payment-terminal configuration.

List the intended tablet, printer, drawer and terminal with exact models where available. Test the representative product sale on that configuration.

Check discovery and booking options on BookSolo separately from the Solo website and workspace. Confirm the terms and maintained service information at both entry points.

Use a small counted sample of actual product types and consistent units. Reconcile the supported stock and sales records after sample transactions.

Separate website visits, booking-route clicks and completed appointments. Compare similar working days and keep retail sales as a distinct outcome.

Have staff find a booking, process the supported change and complete a sample product sale. Confirm who handles exceptions and where each record is reviewed.
