Salon staff management software — track attendance, shifts & payroll
Stylists on staggered shifts. Pay that's half salary and half commission. A month-end that never quite adds up. Rotabook ties attendance straight to payroll, so commission gets calculated instead of guessed, and client data stays on the salon's own PC.
Your stylists don't share one shift. So why does your attendance assume they do?
A salon runs on staggered chairs. One stylist opens at 9, another comes in at 11 for the evening rush, a junior covers the gap. A flat 9 AM rule marks half the team 'late' every single day. And commission, the part that actually motivates them, gets worked out by hand at month-end.
Staggered shifts, false 'late' marks
An 11 AM stylist clocks in at 11 and the system flags her late. Every day, for doing exactly her job.

Half the pay is commission on services and products. At month-end it's a spreadsheet, a calculator, and a quiet argument about the total.

Cloud-only tools keep your client list and your staff records on their server, in their city, under their terms.
their server, their termsManage staggered stylist shifts without a single false 'late'.
Every stylist gets her own shift window. The 9 to 6, the 11 to 8, the evening cover. A punch is matched to her window, not a blanket 9 AM rule, so the 11 o'clock start reads on time. The chair that opens early and the chair that closes late are both simply right.
- A shift window per stylist, not one opening time for the whole salon.
- Punches matched to the right window, so no false 'late' on staggered chairs.
- Tomorrow's chairs planned from who is actually rostered.
Attendance feeds payroll, so commissions work themselves out.
When attendance and services run through one login, month-end stops being a spreadsheet night. Base pay comes from the shifts worked. Commission rolls up from each stylist's services and product sales. You read the summary and approve. The sheet is ready on the 1st.
- Base pay from shifts worked, commission from services and product sales.
- Each stylist's totals roll up on their own. No second spreadsheet.
- Month-end pay is a summary you approve, not a calculation you fight.
Your client list and staff records stay on the salon's PC.
Rotabook runs on the computer already sitting at your reception, with the server on your premises and synced over your own LAN. Your client list and staff records don't sit in a cloud account in another city. They stay with you. That is the one answer cloud-only tools can't give.
- Runs on the PC at your reception, with the server on your premises.
- Client and staff data never leaves the salon's own machine.
- A private URL still lets you check in from home when you want to.
Booking and marketing are solved. The operations behind the chair aren't.
SalonBoost ranks well, but its weight sits on WhatsApp marketing and bookings. If your appointments are already sorted, the real gap is the operations hub: attendance, staggered shifts, and commission payroll, all on your own PC.
- WhatsApp campaigns & online booking
- Loyalty and offers
- Attendance as an afterthought
- Cloud-only, your data on their server
- Per-stylist staggered shift tracking
- Commission payroll fed by attendance
- Tasks, leave and expenses in one login
- Client & staff data on the salon's PC
