Ability to send push notifications to our branded app users. This will alert users on their phone when you want to send them a marketing message and let them drop straight into your app to make a booking!

I would like to be able to put our latest blog posts on the app for client education so they are easy to read.
Also having a tab that displays or links to your instagram

Allow us to chose how many days/weeks/months in advance bookings can be made.

At the moment the clients can book in anytime in advance and this makes it difficult to schedule holidays when they are requesting certain staff members.

At the moment the online booking platform will only check the time gap from the last appointment and won't check the time gap for the next appointment.

This is creating small un-usable gaps from the end of the online booking to the start of the next appointment.

While it would limit the availability shown online it is losing us money and we would like the option to force the gap time check on both sides of the appointment.

if online booking will allow you to book multiple appointments for multiple people and not all be under one persons name. A client was booking her daughters on the app but they were all booked under her name. Without having to log off and making new account for her daughters

Aside from getting the salon owner getting the online bookings, cancellations or confirmations from guests, it would be nice if their was a notification within the system. Similar to a message board that my receptionist can check to see what has changed for the week, etc. Or, perhaps there is a pop up that appears when a change is made by a client versus a staff member.

I think this would be very useful for our guests who like to stock up on gift cards to use on themselves throughout the year. With Starbucks, you can load up the card (gift card) on your Starbucks app and just show the app when you checkout each time.

It would be cool if the Salon Branded App through Phorest could do something like that. This could also be how guests earn points on their Treat Card.

It would drive people to download the Salon Branded App which I think is more useful nowadays than the plastic key tags.

At the moment we get a lot of clients who book online, then call us to cancel!

We tell them over the phone because it was booked online they need to cancel online (because if we click cancel on it a pop up says they will be refunded their deposit) but then they either moan about it or never bother cancelling it so we are left with that appointment blocking up the list.

We can’t delete the appointment because it disappears from their history and we like to keep track of who has multiple cancellations in a row.

Allow for the client to add details of the other client(s) they are booking for online so we have all the details before they arrive in the salon.

When a client reschedules their appointment, it does not show what their previous appointment was in the notification email - IE Client has rescheduled to December 25th - But unless I go into trail I do not know when their previous appointment was- Can this be added into the notification emails I receive?

It would be very useful if there was an option for the client to update their own details if they move addresses or change mobile or email addresses through the online booking system on the home page.

online booking.
not to allowed the clients to book themselves first cut and finish before any colour services. It happened to my several times

Instagram has a function to set up giftcards but it has to be ran through Phorest.

it would be nice to promote 1 app for the salon and also have the link to our online store right on the online booking page as well. I think more people would take a look.

Group booking option for workshop/master classes

Workshop/Master classes are a great way of generating revenue and upsell services and products. It would be great to be able to allocate a number of places for an event and allow clients to book it using the APP.

A few customers have asked about not being able to change their service on online booking, only cancel or reschedule. For example change a cut and blowdry to a dry cut etc.
