Google Reserve Integration
Reserve with Google is a new service where you can book an appointment directly from your google search. There is no need to go to a specific app or website. You just start booking directly from your search. Other salon software have had great success partnering up with Reserve with google and I was hoping Phorest would be able to provide the same service. I have attached pictures of what it looks like. Thank you

Online Booking - Limit Days Services Can Be Booked
Certain services offered at salons are not ideal for other clients or staff members, so as the salon owner, I dedicate one day a week to the stylists who would like to offer certain services, ie. perms (the smell) and/or brazilian blowouts/keratin treatments (toxic fumes). We currently have a note in the online booking system to tell clients that the service(s) can only be booked on Monday. However, most clients don't see that note so they end up booking on other days because phorest just shows all the available dates and times rather than just the Monday available slots. Would…

Online bookings - does not display original price when there is a discount
The online booking system does not show the original price of a service when a discount or offer is available. We think it would be good to have the original price available so that it is easy to see when something is discounted for a short time. Without this - clients get confused as to why prices have 'gone up' on a treatment they had previously. This feature would avoid confusion for our customers who book online.

Restrict to booking with same stylist
When a guest has previously booked with a specific stylist, they should only be provided with options to book with that stylist moving forward unless their primary stylist in their contact card has been changed.

For online booking have a pop up window with information before they book especially for tanning as you must be over 18 to use a sunbed
We are a tanning salon and we need the course to be set up where the minutes and prices are on the main course page and add various services with minutes attached.

Stop allowing clients to reschedule treatments you cannot book online
Please stop allowing clients to reschedule treatments online that are not available to originally book online. There are reasons why we restrict these appointments being available for online booking, hence why then they should also be unable to reschedule them too. For example, we have a facial that requires two of our machines. Since Phorest does not support any more than one machine to be allocated to one treatment, we have to restrict this from being booked online so we have the ability to personally check if both machines are available. Therefore, if they reschedule online they may be moving…
