Enhancements
Core Product
This includes foundational features and tools that are essential for running day-to-day business operations. These features cover appointments, POS, employee management, inventory, and reporting. They are designed to provide a seamless experience for users across all industries that Zenoti serves.
Module: Reports
Business Owners, Center Managers
Zenoti has added info icons next to each column in the show/hide column panel across all reports. This enhancement helps users quickly understand what each column represents, before adding it to the report, making report customization faster and more intuitive.
What’s new:
Hovering over the icon displays a short description as a tooltip
Tooltips explain how data is calculated, for example, differences between Accrual, Cash, and Modified Cash views
Works across all reports and is optimized for desktop and tablet
Business Owners, Center Managers
Zenoti has enhanced the Salon Summary report to provide accurate cash flow insights at the center level, especially for businesses operating multiple registers. Earlier, the report only captured the first and last register closures, which led to inaccurate opening and closing balances when more than one register was used.
With this update, the report now aggregates the opening and closing balances across all registers for the selected date. This ensures a complete and correct view of cash movement within the center, regardless of how many registers are active.
Business scenario:
A center uses three registers throughout the day. Each is opened and closed at different times. Previously, the report only considered one register's data, leading to underreported balances. Now, the opening balance reflects the total across all register openings, and the closing balance includes all register closures, giving the manager a true picture of the day’s cash flow.
For more information, refer to the Salon summary report.
Administrators, Business Owners
This enhancement introduces a new Cash Tips Report that allows business owners to generate reports for any custom date range.
Business Scenario: Businesses often need to share declared cash tips data with employees for tax filing and personal record keeping. Earlier, teams generated multiple payroll reports, exported files, and manually filtered dates, causing unnecessary effort. The new Cash Tips Report enables easy access to declared tips for any period, simplifying sharing and record maintenance.
How to use:
At the organization or center levels, navigate to Reports > Cash Tips Report.
Use the custom date picker to select any range.
Filter by Employees, Centers, or both.
Group by Employee Name, Employee Code, and Center Name to view subtotals.
Export the report in Excel, CSV, or Excel with Subtotals formats.
Learn More: For more information, refer to the Declared Cash Tips report article.
Module: Appointment Book
Front Desk Operator/Service Provider
Zenoti now allows segmented services, such as coloring sessions with application, processing, and styling steps, to be managed within Queue. This helps front desk staff easily track each service segment and assign available providers as guests progress through different stages.
Prerequisites:
Use existing segmented service setup.
At the organization level, switch on the Enable Admin Queue toggle.
Zenoti will automatically display each segment in the queue, with no additional settings required.
For more information, refer to the Front desk operations on Queue article.
Business Owners, Center Managers
Timed add-ons, including duration and price, can now be added to segmented services, bringing consistency with how add-ons work for non-segmented services. The add-on’s time and price are applied to the first servicing segment, following the same scaling rules as that segment.
Business scenario:
Previously, segmented services did not support add-ons with duration, limiting flexibility during booking and increasing manual effort for front-desk teams. This resulted in inconsistent behavior across booking channels and made it difficult to offer time-based enhancements for segmented services.
With this update, timed add-ons can now be added to segmented services in the same way as other services. The add-on duration and pricing are consistently tied to the first servicing segment, ensuring predictable scheduling, accurate scaling, and a smoother booking experience.
How to Use:
Navigate to Master Data and click on Services.
Select a segmented service from the list of services and go to the Add-ons tab of that service.
Add or associate add-ons with duration to the segmented service, just as you would for a non-segmented service.
 |
Once configured, these timed add-ons become available across all booking channels for that service.
Business Owners, Center Managers
Zenoti now automatically records excess cash amounts over the center-defined float as a deposit during automatic register closures. This ensures accurate cash tracking at the end of each day or shift, even when the register is closed without manual review. It also minimizes corrections and supports streamlined reconciliation.
If expected cash is less than or equal to float - No deposit
If expected cash is greater than float - Deposit = Expected – Float
How to use:
At the center level, click Configuration.
Navigate to POS > Register Management.
Switch on the Enable Automatic Register Closure toggle.
Switch on the Automatically deposit any cash above start-of-shift cash toggle.
Click Save.
For more information, refer to the Configure register to close automatically article.
Business Owners, Center Managers
Zenoti now supports tip payouts that exceed a stylist’s currently earned amount. This is useful in cases where tips from previous days remain uncollected.
To maintain control and accountability, such payouts require manager authorization. Only users with the appropriate role permission can approve these transactions.
This enhancement provides greater operational flexibility while ensuring secure and compliant handling of tip payouts.
Key Benefits:
Supports delayed or partial tip collections across days
Adds secure controls through manager login or PIN
Prevents unauthorized overpayments to stylists
How to use:
At the center level, click Configuration.
Navigate to POS > Register Management.
Switch on the Pay out stylists more tips than earned toggle.
To require a manager's login to approve the payout, switch on the Enforce manager authorization toggle.
Click Save.
When a stylist requests a tip payout that includes previously earned but unpaid tips, a Manager Authorization Required prompt appears. A manager must enter their credentials to approve the payout and proceed.
For more information, refer to the Allow Tip Payouts Above Earned Amounts in New Register article.
Business Owners, Center Managers
Purpose:
This update enables administrators to configure skip week options at the center level, allowing front-desk staff to move across weeks more efficiently in the redesigned Appointment Book. It provides flexibility for centers with different booking patterns while keeping the calendar experience simple and consistent.
Business scenario:
Centers vary in how far ahead they typically schedule appointments. While some book only a few weeks in advance, others frequently create repeat bookings several months out. Previously, skip week options in the Appointment Book were fixed, limiting calendar navigation and slowing down workflows for centers with longer booking intervals.
By making skip week options configurable, centers can align calendar navigation with their operational needs, helping staff quickly jump to relevant dates and manage bookings more efficiently.
How to use:
At the center level, go to Configuration.
Click on Appointments.
Scroll to the Interface section and expand Display.
Go to Configure Skip Weeks option to define up to three skip week intervals. You can select any value between 1 to 52 weeks.
 |
Note: For new centers, the default skip week options are +2, +3, and +4 weeks. If fewer than three values are configured, only the configured options will appear in the Appointment Book.
