One place for every request
Staff send requests to their manager in one organized inbox, not across WhatsApp, paper and email.
Features · Inbox
Every staff request in one organized inbox
Time off, schedule changes, pay and tip questions, missing supplies, documents: your team sends requests to one place, and managers approve, ask for more info, or decline.
No more requests lost in WhatsApp, paper and email
When requests arrive by text, on paper and by email, they get mixed up and nobody knows if a message arrived. Inbox gives your team one organized place to ask, and gives managers one place to answer. Time off requests, license expiration reminders and missing supply requests all arrive in the same place.
Five request types, one place
From the phone or the front desk, staff pick the kind of request and send it to their manager.
- Schedule: time off, late start, early leave, schedule change, extra shift, shift swap, break change
- Payments: pay and tip questions
- Operations: missing supplies and client issues
- Documents: licenses and other documents with expiry dates
- Other: anything else
What Inbox gives your salon
Nothing gets lost
Every request has a clear answer, so nobody wonders if it arrived.
Schedule requests
Vacation, a late start, leaving early, a schedule change, an extra shift, a shift swap or a break change.
Pay and tip questions
A clear place for questions about pay, tip adjustments or a payment issue.
Operations
Report a missing supply from your salon's supply list, connected to Inventory, or flag a client issue.
Documents with expiry reminders
Staff upload documents like a license with an expiration date. You get a reminder 30 days before it expires.
Approve, ask or decline
Managers answer each request in a tap: approve it, ask for more info, or decline.
Approved time off blocks the schedule
Approved schedule requests block the time on the Fair Flow Schedule automatically. No manual tracking.
Birthday reminders
An alert arrives 7 days before a team member's birthday, so it never slips by.
Built for the floor, not the register
