Salons and clinics

Employee scheduling for salons and clinics - coordinate practitioners and reception

Coordinate therapists, reception, breaks and absences in one shift schedule for salons and clinics. Keep work schedule and messages close to today's bookings.

When illness strikes a fully booked day

A therapist gets sick, customers have to be moved, the reception has to be updated, and breaks still have to fit. VagtPilot helps put together the day's plan and the messages the team needs.
The clinic manager and therapists review the day's staffing before the customers arrive

Bookings continue even when staffing changes

A fully booked day is vulnerable

Illness or absence affects both therapists, reception and the day's practical plan, even when customer bookings are in a different system.

Skills must match the staffing

It is not enough to have a name on the plan if the right therapist, assistant or person in charge is missing.

Breaks, courses and part-time shift the working hours

Different working hours and professional activities make it difficult to keep the weekly schedule up to date in a static sheet.

How to gather therapists and reception

1

Plan according to therapists and skills

Match opening hours, treatment types, reception and breaks with the employees who have the right skills.

2

Make changes without disrupting the whole day

When a therapist calls in sick, the shift schedule, message and the reception's overview are collected in the same place.

3

Relevant communication to the team

Send messages to reception, practitioners or the day's team so changes are not lost in shared threads.
